The match began at 125 pounds, with redshirt junior Shakur Laney (Canal Winchester, Ohio) winning by forfeit.
After redshirt freshman Brock Bergelin cut Ohio's lead to 6-3 with a 6-3 win by decision at 133, senior Cameron Kelly (Bellbrook, Ohio) produced a big 13-4 major decision victory at 141 to extend the lead to 10-3 for the Bobcats. Kelly is now 11-2 on the season with a 4-0 mark in conference action. His win over Bergelin was his first by major decision this year.
Redshirt freshman Alec Hagan (Eureka, Mo.) made it a 13-3 lead for Ohio courtesy of a 9-6 win by decision over Dresden Simon at 149. Hagan upped his overall record to 14-9 and is now 3-1 in conference matches.
The lead grew to 13 points for the Bobcats when redshirt junior Zac Carson (Akron, Ohio) came through with a 7-4 win by decision over Logan Parks at 157. Carson improved to 16-5 on the year and 3-1 in MAC meets. Yinger is now 12-6 in his rookie year and picked up his second conference win.

Ohio will close out the home portion of its 2018-19 schedule next weekend at the Convocation Center by hosting a pair of MAC dual meets, welcoming Old Dominion on Friday (Feb. 8) for a 6 p.m. ET matchup and SIUE on Saturday (Feb. 9) for a 1 p.m. ET showdown. The Bobcats will put a wrap on the program's 100th anniversary celebration, honoring the program's All-Americans prior to the Old Dominion dual and the four national champions prior to the SIUE dual. The SIUE dual will also serve as Ohio's Senior Day celebration.
