PITTSBURGH - The No. 16 Pitt wrestling team (9-3, 1-1 ACC) fell to No. 3 NC State (19-0, 4-0 ACC), 28-6, in a Saturday night ACC dual at the Fitzgerald Field House.

"I think we made some progress at some positions, and we have some work to do in other positions," head coach Jason Peters said. "They're a good team and we have to get better."

The Wolfpack took the first bout at 125 as No. 26 LJ Bentley dropped a 6-3 decision to No. 24 Sean Fausz.

At 133 pounds, No. 20 Dom Forys tied the dual after a hard-fought 12-11 decision over No. 28 Jamal Morris.

The Panthers dropped the following four bouts, trailing 17-3 entering 174 pounds.

Pittsburgh native TeShan Campbell, ranked No. 26, escaped early in the second to take the initial lead. He secured the win after a late takedown in the third, coming out with a 3-1 decision over Nicky Hall.

NC State took the final three bouts to secure a 28-6 win.
