GREENSBORO, N.C. – North Carolina State’s Kody Hamrah was selected as the Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week after collecting three dual match victories over the weekend in leading the Wolfpack to a 3-0 record.

Hamrah, ranked 20th at 157 pounds, had the biggest win of the weekend for the Wolfpack, taking a 10-2 major decision over 13th-ranked Ryan Hluschak of Drexel. After back-to-back decisions by Drexel to cut the NC State lead to 9-7, the Wolfpack posted consecutive major decisions including Hamrah’s performance at 157 pounds to solidify the victory.

The junior from Middlesex, N.J. also downed South Dakota State’s Nick Herboldt 7-1 and Gardner Webb’s Garmanyou Nepto by technical fall (16-0, 2:23).

The three wins moved NC State to 5-4 on the season and kept the Wolfpack perfect at home with a 5-0 mark. Hamrah and the Wolfpack are back in action this Wednesday, January 10 as they host Duke in the ACC opener for both squads.
