Facing a 9-0 deficit as he took the mat for the 149-pound showdown, Walsh earned six team points with a third-period pin of Alex Gordon. Walsh carried a 7-0 advantage heading into the final frame before turning Gordon over to his back and recording the fall. It is Walsh’s team-leading eighth pin of the season.

Ohio State would then take the next four bouts, but not before true freshman Lucas Sheridan gave #15 C.J. Magrum a scare at 184 pounds. Sheridan, making his attached Hoosier debut, battled Magrum in a tight 5-3 decision.

Indiana got back on the board in the following match, thanks to fifth-ranked Matt Powless and his 7-6 decision over Andrew Campolattano.  The two 197-pounders exchanged takedowns and subsequent escapes in the opening period for a 3-3 deadlock entering period number two.

Powless began the second stanza on bottom and escaped in less than 10 seconds to take a 4-3 lead. Campolattano struck next, however, recording a takedown to go ahead. The pendulum continued to swing as Powless posted a reversal with five seconds left in the period to surge past Campolattano, 6-5.

An impressive ride of 1:43 in the third period by Powless would prove to be the difference as Campolattano escaped to even the score at 6-6, but a 1:17 riding time advantage for Powless handed him the bout-clinching bonus point, 7-6.

The Hoosiers return to tournament format for their next competition. Indiana will start the new year in Chattanooga, Tenn., wrestling in the Southern Scuffle on Jan. 1-2.
