RALEIGH, N.C. - The NC State wrestling team closes out its regular season with five straight duals against top-20 foes, starting this weekend with trips to No. 17 Old Dominion and then to No. 9 Virginia Tech. The Wolfpack (13-4, 1-1 ACC) heads to ODU (10-3) Friday night at 7:30 p.m., and then will be in ACC action on Sunday at the Hokies (10-2, 1-0 ACC) at 2 p.m.
