No. 17 Danny Chaid and Cory Daniel made it four straight wins to close out the dual for Carolina (7-8, 1-0 ACC), who also got wins from No. 18 A.C. Headlee, No. 5 Troy Heilmann and No. 17 Kennedy Monday in taking seven of the 10 bouts on the night.
Ramos and Schany were actually scoreless after one period before the redshirt senior from Hawthorne, New Jersey, went to work. A pair of takedowns and an escape gave him a 5-1 lead after two periods, and Ramos added four more takedowns and a point for riding time to secure the 14-5 major decision.
Ness ended his win over Michael Battista 44 seconds into the final period for his eighth straight victory. The redshirt junior narrowly missed a first-period pin but still picked up bonus points for the fourth time since Christmas. Ness, Chaid and Daniel are now a combined 33-9 on the year in dual competition, and when combined with a healthy Ramos, form a formidable back end of the lineup.
The middle of the lineup has been pretty stout as well, and that's where Carolina turned things around on Friday. Virginia (3-6, 0-1) got a dream start with back-to-back pins at 125 and 133 before Headlee got the Tar Heels on the board with a 4-2 win over Sam Martino. Heilmann improved to 23-3 on the year and 13-2 in duals with a matching 4-2 decision over Sam Krivus at 149. The win was Heilmann's fourth in a row and his second in as many seasons over Krivus.
Monday won a high-scoring 10-7 decision over Fred Green at 157 before Virginia got its final win of the night, a 5-1 decision from Andrew Atkinson at 165.
Carolina returns to the mat next Friday when the Tar Heels host Pitt at Carmichael Arena.
