The Buckeyes received bonus points for major decisions by Malik Heinselman (125), Joey McKenna (141), Kaleb Romero (165) and Myles Martin (184), and for a pin by Micah Jordan at the 149 lb. weight class.

With the dual-meet win, No. 2 Ohio State improves its overall record to 9-2 and to 6-2 in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes take on No. 6 Nebraska at home next weekend to round out the Big Ten dual-schedule.

From there, it’ll take on Cornell before getting ready for the postseason with the Big Ten Tournament and then the NCAAs. Things are heading down the homestretch.
