Against Army, Mark Martin got Ohio State on the scoreboard with a 7-4 victory over Brian Harvey at 174 pounds, keyed by a stalling call against Harvey and a Martin takedown late in the third period. At 184 ponds, Kenny Courts jumped out to an early 7-1 lead in the first period thanks to two takedowns and a three-point near fall. He secured the bonus point victory in the third with three takedowns.
After a Matt O'Hara win at 197 pounds, the Buckeyes received four straight pins at 285, 125, 133 and 141 pounds. Nick Tavanello started it out with a fall over Trevor Smith 3:15 into his match, and that was followed by a pin from redshirt freshman Nathan Tomasello at 125 pounds in the first period. Johnni DiJulius also pinned Sean Badua in the first period while Logan Stieber's came 2:05 into his match with Logan Everett at 141 pounds.

Arizona State, which defeated Binghamton 23-15 earlier in the day, jumped out to a 7-0 lead after the first two matches on the strength of a major decision at 165 pounds and decision at 174 pounds. In the 174 pound match, Raymond Waters got a takedown in overtime to defeat Martin.
From there, however, it was all Buckeyes as Ohio State won eight on the next nine contests. Courts picked up a key 3-1 victory over 11th-ranked Blake Stauffer at 184 pounds and freshman Kyle Snyder moved to 6-0 on the season with a 21-8 major decision at 197 pounds. Tavanello then eked out a 3-2 decision over Chace Eskam at 285. Tomasello then recorded his second pin of the day, this time defeating Judson Preskitt in the second period to secure six key points. A forfeit at 133 pounds gave Ohio State a 22-7 advantage and Stieber recorded a technical fall at 141 pounds (20-4) to give the Buckeyes even more breathing room. Randy Langus finished off the match with a 5-4 victory over Joel Smith at 157 pounds.
Overall, Ohio State won 15 of 20 matches, recorded five pins, one technical fall and two major decisions.
