CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The Atlantic Coast Conference office announced on Tuesday that Duke’s Aidan Wallace and NC State’s Koy Buesgens were named ACC Co-Wrestlers of the Week, as each wrestler scored a top-25 individual win in conference action last weekend, January 24-26.
 
In his lone match of the week, Wallace registered the highest victory of his collegiate career with a 4-1 sudden victory over No. 23 Mac Church of No. 11 Virginia Tech at 165 pounds on Friday, January 24.  With the match tied at 1-1, Wallace earned a takedown with 1:18 on the clock in the first overtime to collect the thrilling win. The victory was the first ACC win of his collegiate career and 22nd win of the season. His 22 wins are tied for the third-most in Duke history for a single season since 1999.
 
Ranked No. 29 entering the weekend, Buesgens picked up a 4-1 win over No. 21 Finn Solomon of No. 15 Pitt at 149 pounds to help No. 6 NC State improve to 3-0 in conference action with a 22-13 win at home over the Panthers. In one of seven ranked matchups in the ACC dual on Friday, Buesgens used a takedown to upset Solomon, who wrestled at NC State as a freshman in 2022-23.
