Tied 1-1 late in the third period, Nevills secured a takedown with three seconds left to make the dual score 16-13 in favor of the Tar Heels.
Redshirt sophomore Jim Wilson, ranked 14th nationally, was also key in the win. The Lodi, Calif., native recorded an 11-3 major decision over Ethan Ramos at 165 pounds. He tallied three takedowns, two escapes, two near fall points and had 2:20 of riding time in the win.
