The Ohio State wrestling team may not be having the type of year it has been accustomed to over the last few years, but it can still throw its weight around from time-to-time. That’s exactly what happened Friday night in a dual meet at home against Maryland.
The No. 3 rated Buckeyes won every single match but one and compiled an impressive 43-3 team win — one shocked full of bonus points. All told, Ohio State amassed a whopping 53 takedowns, winning four matches by technical fall, two by way of a major decision, and two more with pins.
The only match the Buckeyes failed to take care of was a two-point loss by Jordan Decatur at 133 lbs, but even that was a close 10-8 result. It was pure domination by the Buckeyes.
Final from Columbus.
