Also, Idk how you can't love the excitement and passion Roc Harrison brings to these ACCN broadcasts

---

He is fun to watch/listen to. He manages to do without becoming the story.

Have to go 4-1 over the last 5. Tall task.

How about 5 straight?

Apparently wasn't that tall of a task. Really gutty performances.

I wish I was sitting closer to those VT losers who started a hokies chant in the middle of Trents senior day ceremony but Trent and Kai both gave them a good talking to.

I was one section over from them, closer to the big glass wall. VT vans are not only extremely obnoxious online, but about as obnoxious in person. I work with several VT grads, and while I haven't really gone back and forth with them related to college athletics, they all have a little bit of an arrogance about them related to the way they carry themselves (very undeservedly as well). From recently seeing some of the posts put on official VT athletic accounts, the school cultivates this arrogance and brash attitude.

Thankfully there weren't that many VT fans in the crowd tonight. Overall, it was an outstanding crowd and environment. That's crazy that it took this long in Pop's tenure to finally sell out some duals, and they sell out three this year.

Wrestling is such a great sport. Especially duals where every bout is so close. My first time in Reynolds since the renovations. Fun times!

We had a group right behind us. They were very obnoxious. Dumbasses crying about stalls obnoxiously and sarcastically.

Kai is the man. Jack looked awesome. Jacob did great. Trent was Trent, stud.


Looking forward to a long day in Chapel Hole in 2 weeks.

Edit to add... crowd was great tonight. Probably the best all season. Which they should be against our biggest rival.

The NC State wrestling team (16-2, 5-0 ACC) earned the 2024 ACC Regular Season Championship after defeating No. 13 Virginia Tech (9-4, 4-1 ACC) by a 20-12 score Friday night. For his last ever dual in Reynolds Coliseum, redshirt-senior and team captain, Trent Hidlay, tallied his 100th career win.

In front of a sold out Reynolds Coliseum, the ACC powerhouse rivals faced each other in their final dual of the season to determine the regular season conference leader. By the end of the night, NC State lifted the trophy for the sixth time in the last seven years.

Alex Faison, Trent Hidlay, Dylan Reinert, Jarrett Trombley, alongside team manager Callie Nix, all experienced their last ever dual match inside Reynolds as they were honored during the senior ceremony prior to the start of the dual.

Third-ranked Jackson Arrington faced second-ranked Caleb Henson to start the evening in the 149 pound weight class. This bout marked the first time he wrestled someone and lost this season as the only dents on his record came from medical forfeits at Cliff Keen back in Decemeber. His defeat put the Hokies on the board first but Ed Scott leveled out the score right after when he fired a decision of his own.

The Wolfpack would go on to drop the next three bouts, two of which were upsets, and give VT a daunting 12-3 lead. Dylan Fishback, with one of the toughest schedules this season, faced his 11th ranked opponent of the 2023-24 campaign and was handed his first loss to an opponent outside the top-15.

For the finale of his dual wrestling career, Trent Hidlay went out in style just as we all predicted him to do. His technical fall victory, and the only bonus point win of the night for either team, sparked the energy of the Pack, who would not drop another bout for the rest of the night. With his 18-3 win over No. 26 Andy Smith, he got his 100th career win on his senior night, the 65th bonus point win of those 100.

The heavyweight clash carried the flame for the Wolfpack when Owen Trephan won 4-1 and put his team back in striking distance with a 11-12 team score.

Jakob Camacho put the Wolfpack on top for the first time when he upset No. 3 Cooper Flynn with a 5-1 decision.

Kai Orine's gritty 2-1 decision over No. 13 Sam Latona seemed to secure the Wolfpack's title by extending the team score to 17-12. All that was left was for Ryan Jack to not let his opponent win by a major decision or more, which was a simple task for him.

Well deserved. Staff looks brilliant for sending him to the equivalent of JV tournaments a while back. He's looked good since his return to the starting line up.

Faison won in OT
Dylan tech fall win.

Both wrestlers through to the semifinals.

VT piled up around ten points mainly wrestling the Dukies.

Camacho with the pin in the first round. He's on to the finals.

Orine with a 9-0 major decision, on to the finals

Ryan Jack with a major decision over VT, he's on to the finals to face Matthews from Pitt.

Arrington with a major decision over UNC, he's on to the finals

Ed Scott majors Bryce Andonian of VT, he's onto the finals.

The Pack looks ****ing strong so far today.

Ed Scott dominant

Fields upset by the 4 seed in OT. Only two NCAA allocations at 165 so he'll need an at-large bid to make NCAAs

Faison loses to Lewis of VT. 4 NCAA allocations at that weight so he should be alright.

When do finals begin?

Team Scores after the Semifinals:
NC State - 86.5
Virginia Tech - 71.5
UNC - 26.5
Virginia - 21
Pitt - 16
Duke - 1

NC State has advanced 8 into the finals tonight, Virginia Tech has 7. NC State-Virginia Tech head-to-head in the finals at 125, 133, 149, 184, 285.

Big one. Lots of single leg shots with no results. Double leg in OT for the dub. Good stuff.

State with 8 in the finals.

Five are against VT!
