Been a trademark for them the last few years
They wrestle really well in duals. They've won 20+ in a row and I believe we were the last team to beat them in a dual (back in 2017 in Cassell). NC State is a prime example that putting on a great dual in a great atmosphere can boost their program.
While they scrap really hard in duals, I do want to point out their team performances at nationals compared to ours the last five years:
2015: VT 10th, 56 | NC State 16th, 34
2016: VT 4th, 82 points | NC State 11th, 49
2017: VT 6th, 63.5 | NC State 17th, 26
2018: VT 8th, 47.5 | NC State 4th, 80
2019: VT 11th, 50 | NC State 17th, 31.5
I want to beat NC State in the dual every year. But I will always be pleased when we outplace them at nationals where it counts.
