Ohio State wrestling blows the doors off Illinois 28-6

The Ohio State wrestling team got its fifth-straight win by disposing of Illinois 28-6 in a Big Ten dual-meet.

The Ohio State wrestling team was back in action again Sunday after winning a dual-meet against a top ten Wisconsin squad Friday night.

It went well.

The Buckeyes scored 28 unanswered points in front of the home crowd at the Covelli Center to boat race Illinois by a 28-6 total. After dropping the first two matches at 125 and 133 lbs., OSU won the final eight in convincing fashion.

The whitewashing began with a 12-5 decision by No. 1 Luke Pletcher at 141 lbs. What followed was an onslaught highlighted by a major decision by Sammy Sasso at 149 lbs., and a pin by No. 1 ranked Kollin Moore at 197 lbs.

With the win, Ohio State improves to 7-1 overall, and 3-0 in the Big Ten. The No. 4 Buckeyes have a huge one coming up on the road against No. 1 Iowa on Friday night.

A dual-meet win this coming weekend would be epic.
