GREENSBORO, N.C. - North Carolina All-America 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, but Sola is the lone 2006-07 All-ACC wrestler honored.

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 Maryland placed two student-athletes on the academic squad.

Two-time All-America and three-time ACC champion 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.
