Scored a top-5 win in dual debut at 197 pounds
RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State true freshman Isaac Trumble has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Wrestler of the Week following his stunning win at 197 pounds in his collegiate dual debut.
Trumble upset Pitt's No. 5-ranked Nino Bonaccorsi in a 6-1 decision that helped the No. 4 Wolfpack to a 27-6 win over the No. 12 Panthers in ACC Network's Friday Night Dual matchup of ranked teams. Trumble was also recognized as the National Wrestler of the Week by The Open Mat.
After a scoreless first period, Trumble got a second period ride out and a four-point near-fall as time expired in the second. He added an escape to start the third period, and them added the ride-time point to his winning margin.
Bonaccorsi is the highest ranked opponent defeated by a Wolfpack wrestler this season. The decision marked the first top-5 win for an NC State true freshman since Kevin Jack at the 2015 NCAA Championships, and the first such win for a Wolfpack true freshman in a dual since John Carreon versus UNC in 1999.
Trumble is a perfect 4-0 in all matches this season, with three wins via pins.
