Last season's meeting between the Buckeyes and the Wolfpack was a blowout. The second meeting in as many years promised to be a different story.
NC State fielded a half-dozen ranked wrestlers, and higher-ranked guys held serve throughout the night. Ohio State started strong out of the gate, picking up wins in the first two bouts of the night, but the Wolfpack responded with a pair of wins of their own to pull within a point in the team score after four matches, and it looked like things might get interesting.
Unfortunately for the visiting team, that was as close as it got.
