The Metairie, La., native got the Tar Heels off to a fast start in the 33-12 win over the Wolfpack with his first career pin in 2:47 against Greyson Mills on Friday. On Saturday, Shields recorded a major decision in North Carolina's 26-12 victory over the Bobcats. Shields dropped Tim Silvers in the final seconds for an 8-0 victory to record his fifth win in the last seven bouts,

    With the win over the Wolfpack, the Tar Heels (12-7) completed a 4-1 regular season versus ACC competition. North Carolina still has three non-conference dual matches scheduled before the ACC Wrestling Tournament in Blacksburg, Va., March 7.
