North Carolina's Evan Sola has been named ACC Wrestler of the Week after taking a 3-2 decision over Appalachian State's Travis Drake last Saturday. Sola's win over Drake, ranked No. 16 in the nation at 133 pounds, helped lead the Tar Heels to a 34-6 win over the Mountaineers.

Sola, a freshman from Wernersville, Pa., finished the regular season 24-9 overall and was 14-1 in dual matches. He also closed out the regular season with 14 consecutive dual-meet wins.

Sola and the Tar Heels are back in action March 9 at the ACC Tournament in Raleigh.
