The Ohio State wrestling team kept to its winning ways Friday night, getting another dual-meet win on the road against No. 8 Wisconsin 24-13. The Buckeyes took just six of ten matches, but piled up the bonus points to secure a top ten victory going away.
The Badgers got out of the gate quickly, taking the first two matches at the 125 and 133 lb. weight classes, but that changed quickly. Both Luke Pletcher and Sammy Sasso got major decisions at 141 and 149 lbs to quickly give Ohio State the dual-match lead.
From there, Elijah Cleary (157 lbs.), Kaleb Romero (174 lbs.), Rocky Jordan (184 lbs.), and Kollin Moore (197 lbs.) all scored victories. Jordan and Moore both wracked up bonus points with technical falls.
Final from Madison.
