Feb. 11, 2005 <\/p>\n
Columbus, Ohio – The Ohio State wrestling team (7-10, 0-6 Big Ten) continued its challenging Big Ten schedule Friday, dropping a 32-6 decision at No. 5 Michigan (12-3-1, 4-0-1) at Cliff Keen Arena in Ann Arbor, Mich. The Wolverines served as the fourth consecutive ranked opponent for Ohio State and seventh in the Buckeyes’ last nine matches.<\/p>\n
The match between the Buckeyes and Wolverines Friday was carried by College Sports Television and will be aired via a tape-delayed broadcast at 9:30 p.m. Saturday. The dual is scheduled to run four additional times through Feb. 27. Please visit www.cstv.collegesports.com for listings.<\/p>\n
The night started with a pair of ranked wrestlers facing off at HWT in Ohio State’s No. 20 Kirk Nail (Fr., Hilliard, Ohio) and UM’s No. 3 Greg Wagner. Nail allowed Wagner takedowns in the first and third periods before falling by a 4-1 count as the Wolverines claimed a 3-0 lead. <\/p>\n
After another Michigan decision victory at 125, Ohio State’s T.J. Enright (Fr., Galloway, Ohio), ranked as high as 16th in the country at 133 pounds, bested Wolverine Craig Gilson by a score of 7-1. Enright wasted little time, scoring a takedown midway through the first period. He added a reversal in the second and benefited from two stalling penalties on Gilson to cruise to his 27th win on the year and cut Michigan’s lead to 6-3.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Enright’s win would be Ohio State’s last for the next five matches. Michigan posted decisions at 141 and 149 before upping its lead to 22-3 with a major decision at 157 and a fall at 165. The UM victories at 141, 157 and 165 all came from wrestlers ranked in the national Top 5 in their respective weight classes. At 141, No. 5 Josh Churella downed Ohio State’s Jason Johnstone (Fr., Massillon, Ohio), 11-4. In the 157 match, former national champion and No. 1-ranked Ryan Bertin scored the major over Ohio State freshman Keegan Mueller (Dallas, Texas) before Ryan Churella, the second-rated wrestler at 165, pinned Vogel at the 4:36 mark.<\/p>\n
The Michigan win streak continued through the 174 match, where 14th-ranked Nick Roy topped OSU’s Nathaniel Augustson (Jr., Rio Rancho, N.M.) with a 12-4 major decision for a 26-3 Wolverine advantage.<\/p>\n
Ohio State’s Alex Picazo (So., Grandview, Ohio) halted the Michigan string at five matches with a comeback, 7-6 decision over Josh Weitzel at 184. After relinquishing a Weitzel takedown in the first period, Picazo scored one of his own in the second stanza to tie the match at 2-2, but allowed a pair of Weitzel escapes to trail, 4-2, seconds into the final period. In the last minute of regulation, Picazo mounted a furious rally with two takedowns and a nearfall count to emerge with the decision win.<\/p>\n
Trailing 26-6, Ohio State’s J.D. Bergman (So., Oak Harbor, Ohio), ranked fourth in the country, was pinned by Wolverine Willie Breyer at the 3:36 mark. Bergman scored a takedown in the first period to take a 2-1 lead into the second period before Breyer recorded the fall and the 32-6 Michigan win.<\/p>\n
Ohio State travels to Minnesota to wrestle the No. 10 Golden Gophers at 3 p.m. The match also is scheduled for television coverage, provided live by Fox Sports\/ Minnesota.<\/p>\n
