Wrestling goes 1-2 at ACC/Big Ten Clash

No. 15 sophomore Chris Henrich continued his dominating performance this season, winning all three of his matches, improving to 7-0 on the season. Both junior Brent Jones and senior Rocco Caponi won two matches, with Jones moving into a fifth-place tie on Virginia’s career falls list with 23 after recording a pin in the Michigan State match.
