Michigan was on a road trip in North Carolina, taking on Campbell and #16 UNC over the weekend in two very unique duals. On Friday, Michigan and Campbell wrestled in the Battle at Bragg in honor of Veterans Day. Michigan won 8 of 10 matches, including three wins from Wolverines seeing their first dual meet action. In one of the best matches of the dual, Kurt McHenry beat NCAA qualifier Anthony Molton 4-3. Michigan also won all three matches between ranked wrestlers (141, 184, and 285). At heavyweight, Taye Ghadiali (Warren Fitzgerald HS) looked good for Campbell, but Mason Parris ultimately won 8-5. 

On Sunday, UNC hosted Michigan on their baseball field for the Battle on the Diamond. The dual started at 141lbs, and Michigan won the first three weights. Cole Mattin stayed red hot to start the season beating another ranked wrestler, as he took down Lachlan McNeil. Chance Lamer and Will Lewan beat Grappler Fall Classic alums Danny Nini and Sincere Bailey, respectively. After Finesilver won a battle between two ranked guys at 184, Mason Parris all but sealed the dual with a pin at heavyweight over Dundee HS graduate Brandon Whitman. Dylan Ragusin ended the dual with a 20-5 tech fall over Jaime Hernandez, and the Wolverines won 23-12.

The biggest news of the weekend was Alex Facundo's much anticipated debut in dual action for Penn State. Facundo, currently ranked 18th in the country as a freshman, wrestled Lock Haven's Aiden Gaugler. Facundo scored early and often, picking up a 27-12 tech fall in his first college dual.

Similarly, true freshman Casey Swiderski had a big offensive showing in his 28-13 tech fall over Alanis of Cal Baptist. Swiderski has now started the year off 3-0 with two ranked wins and a tech. Teammate Manny Rojas, a Detroit Catholic Central graduate, also put together a solid first tournament of his career, beating Iowa State teammate Helgeson in the finals of the 174lb freshman/sophomore division of the Grand View Open.
