Terry JacksonJackson won both of this matches for the Bobcats last weekend, defeating West Virginia's Seth Lisa on Friday and Kent State's Drew Opfer on Sunday. His 4-2 decision over Lisa - a two-time NCAA qualifier - came in overtime and was crucial to Ohio's 18-16 victory over the Mountaineers, which gave Bobcat head coach Joel Greenlee his 100th career coaching win.
On Sunday's, Jackson dominated Opfer, a senior for the Golden Flashes. The 7-0 shutout improved Jackson's record to 12-4 in duals and 3-1 in the MAC. Jackson has won six of his last seven matches, including two pins and one major decision.
"Terry has really come a long way since the beginning of the season," said Greenlee. "Since becoming the starter, he's done just a great job for us. He's not a real flashy guy - he's basic in what he does - but he doesn't make mistakes and that is huge in wrestling."
Jackson and the Bobcats (11-10, 1-3 MAC) finish out the regular season this Friday at Central Michigan (11-4, 3-0 MAC), currently ranked fifth in the nation with nine individually ranked wrestlers. Ohio will then compete at the MAC Championships in DeKalb, Ill., on March 3-4.
