The Ohio State wrestling team finished up the home dual-meet slate on Sunday in winning fashion, beating No. 8 Northwestern 28-10. The Buckeyes took seven of ten matches and were really in no danger of dropping the matchup with the Wildcats.
Being that it was the last home meet, it was also senior day for captains Kollin Moore and Luke Pletcher. They did not disappoint and won both of their matchups to help send themselves out with a win to cap their careers in Columbus.
OSU got bonus points from Fritz Schierl (pin) at 174 lbs., Rocky Jordan (major decision) at 184 lbs., Gary Trabu (major decision) at heavyweight, Jordan Decatur (major decision) at 133 lbs., and Luke Pletcher (major decision) at 141 lbs. All three of Ohio State’s No. 1 ranked wrestlers were victorious.
Final from Columbus.
