R-Fr. earns fourth top-10 win of the season, second ACC honor

RALEIGH, N.C. – R-Fr. Trent Hidlay has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week for the second time this season after his win at 184 pounds helped the Wolfpack to a key ACC team victory Saturday night at No. 10 Pitt.

In the final bout of the top-10 team dual, the third-ranked Hidlay scored a 6-3 decision over No. 7 Nino Bonaccorsi to secure NC State's 21-12 victory. Hidlay scored a pair of takedowns in the first period, the lone takedowns of the bout. The Lewistown, Pa., native now has four wins over top-10 foes this season, and five ranked wins overall.

Hidlay is a perfect 12-0 in duals this season, outscoring his foes 120-44, with a pair of pins.

Hidlay and the Pack return to home action this Friday night, as the #3 Wolfpack will host #8 North Carolina in a top-10 ACC dual.
