In its first game of the season played in the shadows of The Convo, Ohio (12-12, 0-0 MAC) was unable to muster much of anything positive against Marshall (14-11, 0-0 SBC), losing 9-2. A game that was bookended by poor innings to begin and end the game for the pitchers spelled disaster from the start. Outside of a late rally that was snuffed out by Marshall, the home fans had little to cheer about due in large part to a tough day for the Ohio lineup against Marshall starter Bub Feringa.

Over the second portion of its non-conference schedule, Ohio has failed to continue its initial hot start to the season. Since winning nine of ten games over a two-week span, Ohio has limped to a 2-6 record in the following weeks. While it is important to note the quality of competition over this span, Ohio certainly would have hoped to have won more of these games. During the Beach Chicken Brawl, Ohio showcased glimpses of the successful team from earlier in the season while ultimately being generally unable to break out fully.

While Ohio saw another year get added onto its MAC title drought, it still experienced a rather successful weekend. Only two wrestlers automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships, but many others put themselves in strong positions to earn at-large bids to The Big Dance. The highlight of the weekend was Peyten Kellar dominating his way to the 157-pound class title for his first individual conference title.

Coming off one of the hottest starts in program history, Ohio has cooled off a bit following a 1-3 weekend at the Governors’ Classic in Clarksville, Tennessee. The three straight losses over the previous weekend demonstrate the fact that Ohio might still have some room to grow, particularly offensively, as it went just 1/9 with runners in scoring position with a sacrifice fly. Regardless, the beat rolls on and Ohio hits the road for its final tournament before home games and full series are underway. At the Beach Chicken Brawl, hosted by Coastal Carolina, Ohio will be met with two very strong teams as well as a slightly weaker one.

After all the fanfare and mayhem that occurred at the end of the weekend at the Mid-American Conference Swim and Dive Championships, Ohio could be found huddled in the hallway of the Ohio Aquatic Center. Coach Mason Norman addressed his team, some of whom were visibly emotional. The ending was not the storybook one with Ohio getting to hoist the trophy in its home pool, but still, it was an ending to be proud of. Ohio was able to secure its highest placement as a team at the MAC Championships since it was runner-up in 2013.

For the last year, everything has led to this very moment for the Ohio Swim and Dive team. Hosting the Mid-American Conference Championships is a huge honor, but having a chance to win the conference title is something even more exciting. Ohio (7-0, 4-0 MAC) has ripped through its opponents this season, and the only thing that can truly punctate a season of dominance is a MAC Championship.

Despite high expectations in coach Jenna Hall’s second season at the helm, Ohio softball has seemingly exceeded them so far. After a shaky opening weekend against some talented opponents, Ohio has been able to win nine of its last ten games, including four wins in five games in the Frost Classic hosted by UT Chattanooga. The whole weekend was a great showcase for Ohio and the overall strength of the team, both in the circle and at the plate.

On a night when it seemed that everything had to go right for Ohio, nothing seemed to go its way. Ohio (7-6, 3-4 Mid-American Conference) won a mere three matches and simply was overmatched by Buffalo (10-12, 5-3 MAC) in the final dual of the season for both teams. The 27-9 final score illustrates just how lopsided the matches felt at times with Ohio unable to establish much.

Regardless, Ohio will look to secure a winning record in MAC duals this season as it hopes to snap a three-match losing streak to Buffalo.

Some nights it takes some different faces to pick up a win. For Ohio, that was the case as it needed every last point to defeat SIUE, 22-17. Without two of its top wrestlers, Garrett Thompson at 165 pounds and Zayne Lehman at 184 pounds, there was a need for some contributions to come from new sources.

Ohio 5-5 (1-3 Mid-American Conference) was once again defeated on the road, this time against Central Michigan.

Ohio made the quick trip north to Cleveland to take on Cleveland State in a Mid-American Conference dual. Ohio was riding high following its big win at home over George Mason. While Ohio’s top wrestlers in the middle-weight classes performed very well, Cleveland State’s best wrestlers secured the 24-19 victory. The loss for Ohio tells a similar story for the season: the lightweights struggled mightily, and a comeback effort was not enough for the win.

The clock ticked down in the third period for Zayne Lehman. Ohio’s co-captain, NCAA Tournament qualifier and owner of multiple more superlatives closed out a dominant victory that ended with Lehman picking up a tech fall, winning by a 15-0 margin.

In college athletics, it is imperative that teams have leadership in the locker room, on bus rides and at practices. Those leaders act as secondary coaches who assist the team by advising and showing some younger athletes how to properly function as college athletes. In wrestling, Ohio has experienced a renaissance with two of its most successful wrestlers, providing the lessons passed down to them to the next crop of wrestlers.

College wrestling has never been a sport for the faint of heart. The difficult weight programs, strenuous competition that comes in waves and having to keep up with academics are just a few of the roadblocks that would make most ordinary people throw in the towel. One of the most unnoticed aspects of sports, especially collegiate sports, is travel. For Ohio wrestling, travel is one of the aspects that can make or break an athlete.
