The Rivalry continues as No. 8 Hokies scheduled to face No. 5 Wolfpack

Blacksburg, Va. – In a swing of events over the past week, the No. 8 ranked Virginia Tech wrestling team will travel to face No. 5 NC State in Raleigh, North Carolina for a non-conference dual on February 20 at 6 p.m. on the ACC Network.


 
The highly anticipated bout was originally scheduled for the opening weekend of conference competition on Friday, January 21, but was ruled a forfeit against the Hokies as they we're unable to compete due to athlete unavailability.
 
Hear from head coach Tony Robie on Friday morning's Packer and Durham Show regarding the opportunity to rebook the rivalry against the Wolfpack.
 
 


 
The added dual will take place in Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh during the last weekend of conference competition. While this is a battle of conference rivals, it will be organized as a non-conference competition with no conference implications at stake.
