Ohio State @ Edinboro

Ohio State left Edinboro with a 40-4 dual victory on November 17, 2024 in Edinboro, PA. The Buckeyes turned a competitive meet into a lopsided score by racking up multiple bonus-point finishes, while Edinboro’s lone big result came at 174 pounds.

Nic Bouzakis provided a huge swing with a pin at 133 pounds, immediately worth six team points and swinging momentum in Ohio State’s favor. Andre Gonzales followed with a dominant technical fall at 141, shutting out Colin Roberts 15-0 and adding another five team points as Ohio State stretched the lead with high-impact wins.

At 157, Paddy Gallagher piled on another technical fall, cruising to a 26-11 score that further inflated the margin and made a comeback unlikely. Edinboro’s standout moment was Brody Evans’ 12-0 major decision over T.J. Schierl at 174, the only bout in the set that produced bonus points for the hosts and the lone bright spot for Edinboro in a difficult night.

In the end the match was decided by Ohio State’s collection of bonus-point victories across the lineup. Those pins, technical falls, and majors created an insurmountable edge and powered the 36-point win for the Buckeyes in Edinboro.
