MORGANTOWN, W.VA. - A 24-9 road win at West Virginia on Sunday gave the Wolfpack its 20th win of the season, setting a new mark for the most wins in a single season in school history. The Pack (20-0, 4-0 ACC) won five straight matches and held a 16-3 lead late in the dual.

After dropping the first bout at 125 pounds, the Pack reeled off four straight wins and took a 13-3 lead into the intermission.

#28 Jamal Morris controlled his bout at 133 pounds scoring two takedowns and accumulating 3:27 of ride time to win 5-2.

#3 Kevin Jack picked up his 11 straight win with a 9-0 major decision at 141 pounds. Jack scored a takedown and a reversal in the first two rounds, and two more takedowns pushed Jack to the major decision.

Beau Donahue put together a strong third period for the second straight day in winning 5-4 at 149 pounds. Down 3-2 and minus the ride time point, dominated in the third period earning a stall point and then a reversal and scored a 5-4 decision.

#4 Tommy Gantt needed OT to keep his perfect record in tact, but a flurry at the end helped Gantt win 10-8. His biggest defect in the final period was 6-3 and the ride time point clinched, but a takedown with 10 seconds left tied the match and his winning takedown came 33 seconds in.

#7 Max Rohskopf scored the fifth straight win, 5-0 at 165 pounds. After a scoreless first, Rohskopf got a second period take down and worked on top to get a two-point near-fall and ride time.

After two WVU wins, #17 Michael Boykin pulled off a big upset and defeated #7 Jacob Smith 5-3 (SV-3). Boykin's reversal in OT and takedown was the big action of the bout.

#1 Nick Gwiazdowski closed the dual with a 16-0 technical fall. In control the whole bout, a reversal and a pair of four-point near falls in the second clinched the bout. With the win, Gwiazdowski improves to 100-2 all-time at NC State.
