    Ohio State freshmen dominant in wrestle-offs

    COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio State wrestling team took to the mat for the first time in the 2014-2015 season, holding its annual wrestle-offs on Thursday evening before a large crowd at French Field House. Head coach Tom Ryan and his staff will watch their preseason consensus top-five program battle it out prior to the season-opening Michigan State Open on November 2 in East Lansing, Mich.

    The evening was highlighted by a pair of pins – the first coming from three-time defending NCAA champion Logan Stieber at 141 pounds and the second by Bo Jordan at 165 pounds.

    Redshirt freshman Nathan Tomassello opened the event by defeating Mike Manuche in a 20-4 tech fall win the 125-pound class. Stieber needed less than two minutes to get the win in the 141-pound class against Sal Marandino on a pin. Randy Languis edged Micah Jordan in a tight 3-2 match to take the 157-pound class. Next, Micah’s brother, Bo, needed only 1:46 to pin Justin Kresevic in the 165-pound match. Next, the higher weight classes then took the mat, as Kenny Courts took down Josh Fox in full time 11-3 in the 184-pound match.

    Freshman Kyle Snyder showed off his talent in his first appearance as a Buckeye, defeating Matthew O’Hara by tech fall 19-5 in the 197-pound bout. The heavyweights then took the mat in the 285-pound class, as Nick Tavanello defeated Ray Gordon 5-2. Next, the 149-pound match was won by Jake Ryan, as he defeated Cody Burcher 11-4. The 174-pound class rounded out the night, as Mark Martin defeated Dominic Prezzia 12-4.

    The Buckeyes will return to action in Columbus to take on Kent State on November 13 at St. John Arena.
