RALEIGH, N.C. - Behind dual wins over three top-20 teams in the last few weeks, the NC State wrestling team finished the regular season ranked 17th nationally in the final USA Today/NWCA Coaches Poll.
NC State is also ranked #14 by InterMat.com and #19 by FloWreslting.com heading into the postseason.
NC State finished 2015 with a dual record of 16-6, with all but one of the losses coming to top-10 teams at the time of the dual. The 16 wins rank as the third-most in a single season for NC State, as only the 1985 (18) and 1988 (19) squads recorded more. The Pack won nine of its final 12 duals, and outscored the opposition 524-289 during the season. The Wolfpack's 16 dual wins this year rank as the fourth-most nationally.
Up Next: The Pack now shifts its attention to the postseason. Up first, NC State will compete in the ACC Championships on March 8 hosted by Pittsburgh. NC State will then be in action at the NCAA Championships, March 19-21 at St. Louis, Mo.
