COLUMBUS, Ohio – After trailing 3-0 to start the match, the No. 4 Ohio State wrestling team won five of the next six bouts en route to defeating No. 13 Penn State, 21-14, Sunday in St. John Arena to open Big Ten Conference action.
The Buckeyes improve to 12-1 overall and move to 1-0 in the league. The Nittany Lions drop to 8-4-1 and 0-1 in the conference under first-year head coach Cael Sanderson.
After junior Nikko Triggas lost a close 9-7 decision to No. 12 Brad Pataky at 125 pounds, freshman 133-pounder Ian Paddock began the winning stretch for Ohio State with his 13-2 major decision over Bryan Pearsall. The Buckeye from Warsaw, N.Y., nearly shut out Pearsall, but the Nittany Lion was able to record a last minute reversal. Paddock now stands alone in second place on the team with six major decisions.
After going 2-2 at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals two weekends ago, No. 3 Reece Humphrey rebounded with an impressive 22-7 technical fall over Adam Lynch at 141 pounds. It was Humphrey’s team-leading fourth technical fall of the season. In the match, Humphrey, a native of Indianapolis, Ind., recorded nine takedowns, a 2-point nearfall and escape. He complemented that line with a 3:16 riding time advantage.
Lance Palmer won the matchup at 149 pounds. In a bout that featured No. 3 vs. No. 5, the Buckeye from Columbia Station, Ohio, used a takedown and a reversal, as well as 1:28 riding time, to secure the 5-3 victory.
Up just 12-3, the Buckeyes’ Tony Jameson suffered a 10-2 setback to No. 5 Cyler Sanderson at 157 pounds. However, back-to-back wins at 165 and 174 pounds, respectively, would give Ohio State an 18-7 cushion.
It was a battle of No. 7 vs. No. 8 at 165 pounds between Buckeye Colt Sponseller and Nittany Lion Dan Vallimont.
