Ohio @ SIU Edwardsville

SIU Edwardsville Men's Wrestling beat Ohio Men's Wrestling 22-12 at the University of Southern Illinois-Edwardsville in Edwardsville, IL on February 14, 2025. In a conference dual where bonus points decided the outcome, SIUE’s two big team-scoring bouts separated the squads and produced the final 10-point margin.

The key results came at 125 pounds and 141 pounds. At 125, Drew Davis put together a dominant match against Ryan Meek, winning 17-3 by major decision and delivering four team points. That offensive outing kept Ohio from stealing a close team score. The decisive blow arrived at 141, where Danny Martinez recorded a fall over Mason Brugh, worth six team points and shifting the ledger emphatically in SIUE’s favor.

Those two bonus-point victories combined for 10 team points, exactly the margin of victory, and effectively decided the dual. Ohio was able to compile points in other bouts, but without a bonus result to counter Martinez’s pin or Davis’s major, they could not close the gap.

This win gives SIU Edwardsville the edge in the head-to-head and highlights how converting bonus opportunities can determine a conference dual. With the major decision and the fall accounting for the difference, SIUE walked away with a clear team victory on a night when those bonus finishes mattered most.
