CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Senior Logan Agin and junior Logan Ferrero notched wins on Sunday at the ACC Championship in Carmichael Arena. Ferrero placed fourth in the 157-weight class, after competing for a third-place finish in today's action.

Duke ended the tournament in sixth place with four team points.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Agin kicked the tournament off for the Blue Devils and recorded his first win of the day in come-from-behind fashion against Virginia's No. 4 seed Kyle Montaperto.
Agin reached his first points of the match with an escape in the first period, trailing 3-1. The Ohio native chipped at his deficit with a reversal to tie the match, but Montaperto matched his reversal putting him back in the lead, 5-3.
In the final period trailing, Agin found a way to secure a takedown to force a sudden death period. In the overtime period, Agin aggressively pushed the tempo earning him a takedown to defeat Montaperto, 9-6, advancing to the semifinals of the 125-weight class.
In the semifinals match, Agin had a chance to earn an automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Championship with a win over NC State's No. 1 seed Jakob Camacho.
In the semifinals, Camacho scored the first points with a takedown to take a 3-0 lead. Agin recorded two more escapes, but fell to Comacho after a three-point near-fall and eventually a pin in the third period.
After falling in his first match, Ferrero tabbed his first career ACC Championship win in his consolation round, 5-2, starting the match strong against No. 4 seed Jared Keslar of Pitt.
Ferrero began the match with an early takedown and remained in control to earn his chance for a third-place finish.
In Ferrero's third-place match, he faced No. 3 Bryce Andonian of Virginia for the second time of the day. Andonian acted fast in the match taking a quick lead over Ferrero with a takedown and near-fall points. The Lake St. Louis, Mo., native battled hard, but fell by pin in the first period to finish fourth.
