GREENSBORO, N.C. - North Carolina Evan Sola headlines the 2007 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Wrestling Team announced Friday by Commissioner John D. Swofford. All six league schools competing in wrestling were represented on the team, while Sola is the lone 2006-07 All-ACC wrestler named to the list.

To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during his academic career.

The Duke Blue Devils led all schools with six honorees on this year's team, while ACC Champions NC State tallied four spots on the chart and the Maryland Terrapins placed two student-athletes on the academic squad.

Two-time All-America and three-time ACC champion Evan Sola finished his final campaign with a 15-5 record and is tied for fourth all-time at UNC with 117 wins. The Wernersville, Pa., native and 133-pound wrestler is also ninth in Tar Heel program history with 27 pins to his name.

Wolfpack senior Garrett Cummings was one of three third place ACC Championship finishers named to the academic squad. Cummings picked up a third-place finish at the 2007 ACC Mat Jam, while Duke's Daniel Shvartsman and John Barone each earned third-place medals.
