Wrestling Shuts Out Duke Before Standing-Room-Only Crowd

BOONE, N.C. — With a standing-room-only crowd surrounding the wrestling mat in Varsity Gym, App State pitched a P5 shutout.

The Mountaineers posted a 45-0 home victory against in-state ACC program Duke on Thursday night, running their winning streak to six straight duals with a dominant performance.

Unofficially No. 28 in this week's NWCA Coaches Poll based on their high placement in the others receiving votes category, App State (6-2) beat a Power Five-level program for the seventh time since the start of the 2015-16 season and registered a shutout win against one for the first time in at least three decades.
