Bonus Points Give No. 2 Michigan the 18-16 Victory Over No. 8 Ohio State, the First Buckeye Loss in Ann Arbor Since 2007

For the first time versus Ohio State since 2007, Michigan wrestling fans could hail the victors valiant on their home mat.

The No. 2 Wolverines split five of 10 matches with the No. 8 Buckeyes Friday night in the Crisler Center, with Mason Parris' tech fall over heavyweight Tate Orndorff the deciding factor.

Parris' bonus-point victory came just before intermission, but the meet came down to the very last minute of the meet, when 157-pounder WIll Lewan was awarded the victory — and the dual — by dint of having more riding time after all six sudden victory and tiebreaker periods.
