After winning its last three matches on the road, Lehigh's wrestling squad returns home on Saturday, to face North Carolina. Lehigh coming off a 38-3 win at Rider, will face off against the Tar Heels at 1:00 in Grace Hall.
North Carolina leads the relatively new series 2-1. The Tar Heels captured an unexpected 17-16 victory over the Brown and White last season in Chapel Hill. The last time Lehigh met and defeated North Carolina came in 1977. Lehigh stands at 10-5 overall and an impressive 5-0 in the EIWA. North Carolina is currently 11-4 overall and 4-1 in the ACC.
The bout of the afternoon will come at 125, with Lehigh's All-American, Mario Stuart, going up against the Tar Heel's Chris Rodrigues. Stuart has come alive the second half of the season, posting a 10-5 record, winning his last four. Rodrigues enters the contest 24-9 and has won nine consecutive bouts.
