Old Dominion and Ohio University split 10 bouts Friday, but the Monarchs won the Mid-American Conference wrestling dual on criteria, recording 13 takedowns to the Bobcats’ nine.
ODU winners: Kevin Budock (149 pounds), sixth-ranked Larry Early (157), Luke Drugac (174), Tim Young (197) and No. 17-ranked Michael McGee.
McGee defeated No. 21 Shakur Laney 3-1, improving to 12-0 in duals and avenging a November loss at the Navy Classic.
The Monarchs (8-2, 5-2), who dropped three overtime matches, won on the fifth tiebreaker.
"Most of the bouts came down to the wire and it was a barnburner," ODU coach Steve Martin said.
