Though the Virginia wrestling team won just one of three dual matches Saturday to open the dual-match season, the team had a strong performance at the ACC/Big Ten Clash. The Cavaliers (1-2) beat Michigan State 23-15 after falling to No. 12 Wisconsin 25-15 and No. 9 Illinois 37-9. Virginia was the only ACC team to defeat a Big Ten school this weekend.
No. 15 sophomore Chris Henrich continued his dominating performance this season, winning all three of his matches, improving to 7-0 on the season. Both junior Brent Jones and senior Rocco Caponi won two matches, with Jones moving into a fifth-place tie on Virginia’s career falls list with 23 after recording a pin in the Michigan State match.
