    North Carolina posts sweep At Clarion Duals

    CLARION, Pa. -- Despite a number of injuries up and down its lineup, the University of North Carolina wrestling team improved its dual match record to 6-0 on the young season with wins over Drexel, Clarion and Kent State at the Clarion Duals Sunday at W.S. Tippin Gymnasium.

    Carolina opened with a 26-9 win over Drexel, followed with a 34-9 victory over Clarion and closed out the afternoon with a 23-10 win over Kent State.

    Four Tar Heels posted perfect 3-0 records on the afternoon, including senior Garrett Atkinson at 165 pounds, junior Bobby Shaw at 125, sophomore Chris Ramos at 149 and redshirt freshman Vincent Ramirez at 141. Juniors Brian Baglio and Deon Barrett also combined for a 3-0 record at 157.

    Atkinson, now 7-3 this season, opened with a 6-1 win over Scott Hunter of Drexel. He then pinned Clarion's Logan Downes in 2:53 and followed with a 5-3 decision over Kent State's Jason McKee.

    Shaw posted pins over Drexel's Steve Mytych (3:58) and Kent State's Chad Sportelli (6:10) and picked up a win via forfeit versus Clarion. Shaw is now 11-5.

    Wrestling in the leadoff spot all afternoon, Ramos was the third Tar Heel to go 3-0. He opened with an overtime win over Drexel's Chris Renninger (8-6), then notched a pin of Clarion's Robert Hermo in just 58 seconds and closed out the day with an 11-4 win over Kent State's Kyle Chonko. Ramos improved to 7-4 on the season.

    Ramirez pushed his season record to 19-4 Sunday. He won via technical fall over Drexel's Ed Giosa (16-0) and followed with a 7-2 decision over Clarion's Derrick Smith and a 10-1 major decision over Kent State's Drew Lashaway (10-1).

    Carolina heavyweight Spencer Nadolsky won Twice Sunday to improve his team-best record to 21-2 and 5-0 in duals. He sat out the Clarion match.
