Ohio freshman Shackur Laney holds Old Dominion’s Brandon Jeske in a leg lock. Laney won the match 7-5.
Ohio's had one motto during its regular season: "Wrestle as hard as possible, and the rest will follow."
That motto describes how the Bobcats ignited an eight-match win streak, the longest in five years.
Ohio (13-3, 5-3 Mid-American Conference) finished its regular season with an 18-16 win over American University. The win featured wrestlers such as Cameron Kelly, Phil Wellington and Jesse Webb picking up individual wins.
The win wasn’t pretty, but it was still a win, and a win the Bobcats could take in stride heading into the Mid-American Conference Championships.
