The North Carolina wrestling squad will hold its first home dual of the season on Friday when the Tar Heels welcome Arizona State to Carmichael Arena at 7:30 p.m.
The Tar Heels will look to open the dual season on solid footing on Friday as the young squad will face another young squad from the Pac-12.
Carolina had six wrestlers finish among the top five in their weight classes in the season-opening event a week ago. Freshman Joey Ward (133) and sophomore Antonio Giorgio (197) led the way with second place finishes.
Returning NCAA participant Evan Henderson (141) finished third in last week's Hokie Open for the Tar Heels.
All 10 potential starters for the Tar Heels are underclassmen this week with five sophomores leading the way along with three redshirt freshmen and three true freshmen.
The Sun Devils counter with underclassmen in eight of the 10 starting spots.
Chapel Hill will be the first stop on a three-day tour for the Sun Devils to the Carolinas.
