    Letcher, Pawlitz, Lovejoy lead Ohio Northern to win

    ADA, Ohio -- Junior Mick Letcher and freshmen Michael Pawlitz and Cody Lovejoy each registered pins, leading No. 23-ranked Ohio Northern to a 38-7 victory over Mount Saint Joseph Tuesday night in a non-conference dual wrestling meet at the ONU Sports Center.

    The Polar Bears improve to 2-3, while the Lions fall to 1-1.

    Northern won eight of the 10 weight classes, including the first five of the night.

    Freshman Cole Cochran got ONU on the board first with a forfeit win at 125 pounds.

    Junior Jeremy Jones used a third period escape to post a 3-2 victory at 133 pounds to put ONU up 9-0.

    At the 141-pound weight class, sophomore Ryan Fowler had two 3-point near falls in the second period to take a 9-5 lead and went on to post a 10-6 decision, giving the Polar Bears a 12-0 advantage.

    Freshman Kyle Brezovec got a first period takedown and 3-point near fall and made it stand up, as he improved to 2-0 on the season with a 6-1 victory at 149 pounds, extending ONU's lead to 15-0.

    After an MSJ major decision at 157, Letcher improved to 2-0 on the year with a quick pin in 1:22 at 165 pounds and ONU's lead was 21-4.

    With the Polar Bears leading 21-7, junior All-American and No. 6-ranked Kyle Kwiat sealed the match for ONU with a tech fall victory at 184 pounds.

    Kwiat used three first period near falls to build an early 11-0 lead and won 17-0 in 6:00.

    Pawlitz remained undefeated at 5-0 and posted his fourth pin of the season, winning by fall at 3:59 at the 197-pound weight class.

    Lovejoy won by fall in 3:41 at heavyweight after leading 12-0 in the second period.

    The Polar Bears will return to action Saturday when they host the 31st annual ONU Invitational at the ONU Sports Center.
