Ohio @ Gardner-Webb

Ohio edged Gardner-Webb 28-15 in Boiling Springs, North Carolina on December 21, 2025, as Ohio’s mid‑weight bonus production ultimately decided the dual. Gardner-Webb recorded two big pin victories at the lower weights, but Ohio’s sequence of high-value results in the middle weights swung the score back in the visitors’ favor.

Gardner-Webb’s Jackson Baglio delivered a fall at 133 to pick up six team points, and Dominic Ditullio followed with a fall at 141 for another six. Those pins gave the hosts a real burst of momentum and kept the dual competitive through the early exchanges.

Ohio answered with bonus wrestling when Derek Raike, ranked No. 30, turned in a 12-3 major decision at 157, pulling crucial points back for the Bobcats. The decisive run continued when Jeremy Olszko, ranked No. 33, finished with a fall at 174, adding six more team points and shifting the dual firmly into Ohio’s column.

From there Ohio added further bonus scoring across the upper weights to build the final margin. Gardner-Webb’s early fireworks kept the dual interesting, but Ohio’s string of majors and a key pin in the middle weights produced the difference in a 28-15 win for the visitors.
