DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke University wrestling team returned home to Card Gymnasium with a bang Saturday, going 3-0 in a trio of thrilling duals. The Blue Devils downed Drexel, American and Appalachian State to improve to 8-4 on the year and 3-1 at home.
Duke, behind solid team efforts in each dual, upended Drexel 24-13 to start the day and added a convincing 30-9 victory over American and closed out the evening with a thrilling 24-17 comeback win over Appalachian State. The Blue Devils’ triumph over Drexel marked the first in program history
These athletes train hard and are competing at a high level. Major props to them.
