With Carolina trailing the Monarchs (11-6-1) by a 16-10 margin, Ramirez scored a 6-2 victory over BJ Compton at 141 pounds to bring the Tar Heels within three. A decision in Ramos' favor would have given Carolina its second draw of the season, but he pinned ODU's Jeff Becker in two minutes to give Carolina six points at 149 and the 19-16 victory.
Ramirez's victory improved his record to 35-6 and 20-1 in duals, while Ramos is now 15-13 and has three pins on the season.
Junior Deon Barrett got the Tar Heels off on the right foot with an 8-6 decision over Nick Pallano at 157 pounds to open the match. The Monarchs then claimed the next three bouts to take a 9-3 advantage after four matches.
Junior David Dashiell put the Tar Heels back in the win column with a key 5-4 decision over 17th-ranked Adam Wright at 197. Dashiell is now 30-10 on the year and has a single-season career best in victories.
Junior Spencer Nadolsky, ranked 12th nationally, followed with an 11-1 major decision over John Dolida at heavyweight to give Carolina its first lead of the day at 10-9. The victory was Nadolsky's 38th of the season, which is tied for fifth on the Tar Heels' single-season win list.
Old Dominion picked up the next two matches, including a major decision at 125 to take the 16-10 lead before Ramirez and Ramos closed out the match with the decision and the fall to give the Tar Heels the win.
Carolina returns to action at the 2006 Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, set for March 4 at MatJam 2006 in Lexington, Va.
