    UNC dominates Appalachian State

    CHAPEL HILL -- No. 17 Danny Chaid's second-period pin at 197 pounds set the tone for the North Carolina wrestling team as the Tar Heels beat visiting Appalachian State 30-6 Sunday afternoon at Carmichael Arena. Dalton Macri, A.C. Headlee and Ethan Ramos added major decisions for the Tar Heels, who avenged an 18-16 loss to the Mountaineers from a season ago.

    Chaid gave up the first takedown of the day to App State's Randall Diabe, but the redshirt senior from San Jose responded in emphatic fashion with a pin at 4:30 in the opening match of the dual. Cory Daniel scored an 8-5 decision at heavyweight to extend the Tar Heel lead to 9-0 before the lineup circled back to 125.

    Making his UNC debut, No. 10 Macri wasted no time in registering a pair of takedowns against De'Andre Swinson-Barr. Macri lead 7-2 after two periods and added two more takedowns and a whopping 4:45 of riding time for a 12-3 major.

    Zach Sherman won 6-3 at 133 pounds in his home debut before Headlee's 18-6 major at 141. The redshirt sophomore almost got a first-period tech fall and led 12-1 after three minutes thanks to a pair of four-point near falls. Irvin Enriquez fought hard in the final period, but Headlee got a late takedown to secure the bonus point.

    No. 10 Troy Heilmann made it six straight wins for the Tar Heels with his 6-1 victory over Gavin Londoff at 149 before the Mountaineers (2-1) picked up a pair of close decisions at 157 and 165. Ramos then got Carolina back in the win column with a 12-2 major over No. 20 Forrest Przybysz at 174 in the only matchup of ranked wrestlers.

    Chip Ness won 5-3 at 184 in his season debut to cap a winning Sunday for the Tar Heels in their home debut. Next up for Carolina is a trip to Las Vegas for the prestigious Cliff Keen Invitational Dec. 1-2.
