After back-to-back decisions by Drexel to cut the NC State lead to 9-7, the Wolfpack posted consecutive major decisions including Hamrah's performance at 157 pounds to solidify the victory.
The junior from Middlesex, N.J. also downed South Dakota State's Nick Herboldt 7-1 and Gardner Webb's Garmanyou Nepto by technical fall (16-0, 2:23).
