The Buckeyes -- just as they've been in their first four duals -- were a bonus-point scoring machine, taking six of the 10 bouts by either major decision, technical fall or fall. Redshirt senior Bo Jordan scored the lone fall of the night, pinning Riley DeMoss in 1:57. Myles Martin picked up a technical fall at 184 pounds to keep his record unblemished on the season while Joey McKenna, Micah Jordan, Kollin Moore and Te'Shan Campbell all had major decisions.
The dual started at 125 pounds with the most competitive match of the night. Freshman Brakan Mead jumped out to a 6-0 first period lead with a takedown and four-point nearfall, but Princeton's Jonathan Gomez chipped away at the lead, eventually taking a 8-7 advantage late the third period. Mead, however, scored a reversal and two-point nearfall with 10 seconds remaining for the 11-8 decision.
At 133, Luke Pletcher improved to 15-0 on the season with a 10-3 decision, followed at 141 by McKenna's 10-2 major decision. In the following match, fifth-ranked Ke-Shawn Hayes battled seventh-ranked Matthew Kolodzik in the most anticipated match of the dual. Hayes used a second-period ride out and third period escape for the 2-0 decision.
From there, Ohio State scored bonus points in five of the next six bouts, highlighted by Jordan's pin at 174 pounds. Four wrestlers - Pletcher, McKenna, Martin and Moore - remained unbeaten on the year. Moore's 14-5 major decision at 197 pounds was against Patrick Brucki, who is ranked No. 20 nationally this week.
