Wrestling Findlay (W, 42-3), Notre Dame College (W, 37-3) and Cleveland State (W, 51-3), Ohio State outscored its opponents, 130-9. Also of note, with his 5-3 decision over the Falcons' Adam Koballa in the second session, senior tri-captain Reece Humphrey won his 100th career collegiate match.
In all, the Buckeyes recorded 14 falls. In fact, eight of Ohio State's wins against Cleveland State in the final session were pins, including three consecutive falls from 125-141 pounds and 184-285 pounds, respectively.
Pat Harrington, Johnny Hiles, Jared Kusar, TC Pendleton and Jeremy Sanders, key workout partners in the Steelwood Athletic Training Facility, took advantage of an opportunity to compete in dual action. Harrington, a 125-pound native from Sandusky, Ohio, pinned Nick Weisjahn of Findlay in 1:32. Hiles, a Central Ohio product from Westerville, who is vying for a starting position at heavyweight, also won his lone match of the day, a 6-0 decision against the Roughneck's Cody Ruffer.
With senior tri-captain and third-ranked Lance Palmer at Cal State Fullerton competing in the 44th Annual NWCA All-Star Classic, Kusar was a nonstarter who saw the most time at 149 pounds. The Akron, Ohio, native went 3-0, all decisions.
Pendleton, who hails from Hoover, Ala., dropped a 5-1 decision to the Vikings' Marcus Effner in his first dual of 2009-10 at 174 pounds.
Sidetracking to the West Coast where Palmer competed in the prestigious NWCA All-Star Classic, the native of Columbia Station, Ohio, suffered a 3-2 setback to No. 5 Kyle Borshoff of American. Palmer competed for All-Star Red, which lost to All-Star Green, 16-13, in the team standings.
Up next, the Buckeyes will make their annual trip to Nevada for the Las Vegas Invitational in Primm, Dec. 4-5.
