Duke (7-8, 0-5 in the ACC) started off its Saturday at Memorial Gym in Charlottesville, Va. when the Cavaliers (7-8, 2-2) defeated the Blue Devils 26-12.
Senior Dan Shvartsman's 8-3 win over Pat Riley at 149 pounds put the Blue Devils on the scoreboard, but sophomore Addison Nuding fell 6-2 at 157.
With a burst of stamina, sophomore Aaron Glover pushed the 165-pound match against Virginia's Damian Johnson into overtime, scoring a quick takedown to post a 7-5 win. At 174, redshirt freshman John Barone pinned Beau Fisher to put Duke within reach at 15-12 overall, but the Cavaliers dominated the final three matches to win.
