CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina senior Vincent Ramirez, who is off to a 6-1 start on the young season, entered the InterMat rankings this week as the nation's No. 16 141-pounder. Ramirez gives the Tar Heels a trio of ranked wrestlers, joining No. 13 heavyweight Justin Dobies and No. 20 165-pounder Keegan Mueller.

A Durham native, Ramirez opened the year with a victory at 141 pounds at the Wolfpack Open and went 1-1 at last week's ACC/Big Ten Clash.

The Tar Heels are back in action Sunday at Binghamton University's Sprawl & Brawl.
