In addition to Chaid, Heilmann and Ramos, seniors Ben Cournoyer, Anderson Pope, Thomas Singley and Mitchel Thomas were honored prior to the dual.
After a forfeit at 125 pounds gave Duke the early lead, freshman Zach Sherman got Carolina on the board with a workmanlike 10-4 win over Josh Finesilver at 133.
No. 19 A.C. Headlee then gave the Tar Heels their first lead of the night, scoring a 10-2 major decision over Jeremiah Reitz. Heilmann didn't waste anytime in his final home match, putting Brandon Leynaud on his back at 2:24 of the first period to push the UNC lead to 13-6.
After No. 10 Mitch Finesilver won a 4-0 decision at 157, Josh McClure picked up his first career ACC win with a 5-3 decision over Zach Finesilver at 165.
The match of the night came at 174, where Ramos and Matt Finesilver did battle in a top-20 showdown. Both men led in the third period, with Finesilver briefly holding a 5-4 advantage before Ramos scored a reversal to restore his lead. The Hawthorne, New Jersey, senior then iced the dual with a late two and the riding time point made it a 9-6 win.
Ness ended any drama in the team competition, pinning Kaden Russell at 4:24 to give Carolina an insurmountable lead. Chaid made it seven wins for UNC with his 7-4 decision over Alec Schenk at 197.
Duke's Jacob Kasper, the nation's No. 3 heavyweight, closed out the night with a tech fall.
Carolina will close out dual competition for the year Friday when the Tar Heels visit No. 11 Cornell at 7 p.m.
