Bonus Points Key in Wrestling’s Road Win at Ohio

ATHENS, Ohio – On the road for its second dual of the season, Michigan State wrestling took down Ohio on Sunday afternoon by a final score of 22-19. Ohio entered the dual as the No. 25-ranked tournament team in InterMat's rankings.
A win on Sunday helps MSU improve to 2-0 on the season. It's the 24th consecutive non-conference dual victory for the Spartans dating back to 2020. Michigan State will be back in tournament action next weekend heading to West Point, N.Y. for the Black Knight Invitational hosted by Army.
"We always stress how important bonus points are to our guys in duals and that was the difference today," said Michigan State head coach Roger Chandler. "It was great to see Tristan Lujan come away with a pin in his first action of the season."
Bonus points were the difference in the dual despite both teams winning by bonus in four matches. The extra bonus points from Lujan's fall and redshirt freshman Jaden Crumpler's tech fall helped MSU turn the tide in the dual.
Michigan State won each of the first three matches of the afternoon by bonus to build an early 15-0 lead over the Bobcats. Redshirt freshman Caleb Weiand earned his first dual win of the season by major decision over Malachi O'Leary to put the Spartans ahead early. Weiand looked to have O'Leary pinned late in the second period, but still earned the major decision.
Lujan finished off a fall of his own at 133 however, pinning Mason Brugh to earn the fourth win by fall of his career. At 141, Crumpler picked up his first career dual victory and did it in tech fall fashion to give MSU a commanding 15-0 advantage.
Ohio got on the board with back-to-back major decisions at 149 and 157 pounds as freshman Brodie Dominique made his Spartan dual debut at 149.
Redshirt senior DJ Shannon earned his win of the season by major decision, 16-3, over Jack Lledo to get MSU back in the win column and push its lead to 19-8 after intermission.
After a pair of Bobcat wins at 174 and 184, redshirt freshman Remy Cotton once again secured the win for Michigan State in a dual this season with his 5-1 decision at 197. Cotton rode out the entire third period to defeat Austin Starr. His win gave the Spartans a 22-15 lead to lock up the dual victory.
