Wrestling takes down #6 Ohio State in Columbus
In a dual that was shown on BTN before Hockey's win over MSU, #13 Michigan Wrestling (6-1, 2-0 B1G) traveled to take on #6 Ohio State at St. John Arena.
OSU won the national championship last season.
It started out pretty back and forth with both sides trading victories in matches. Consecutive victories by Michigan at 149 and 157 gave Michigan a 9-6 lead, but OSU took 5 points in the 165 match via tech fall to take an 11-9 lead.
The momentum changer came in the next match at 174lbs, when Michigan's #19 Devonte Mahomes upset OSU's #15 ranked Myles Martin. Mahomes prevailed in a sudden-victory OT period, winning 3-1 via takedown.
When the match finished up, Mahomes flexed which drew boos from the crowd of 4,300+ and then he raised his arms up and down while standing on the OSU logo in the middle of the mat, egging the crowd on further.
It was all Michigan from that point on. Michigan took the final 3 matches to upset #6 Ohio State, 21-11.
Michigan has now won its last two duals at St. John Arena.
