Wrestling: Ohio fueled by Kent State rivalry, ready to show out at home

Ohio University redshirt junior Andrew Romanchik grapples with University of Northern Iowa junior Cody Caldwell. The Bobcats defeated the Panthers 20-18 at the Convocation Center on Friday, February 6, 2015.

Ohio’s biggest rival tends to be Miami.

That is widely known around campus, particularly from the T-shirts that display the suggestive phrase "Muck Fiami" across the front.

But one rival that typically flies under the radar, Kent State, will wrestle Ohio (5-2, 1-2 Mid-American Conference) this weekend and look to contend for "Ohio's biggest rival" moniker.

“Kent State is our biggest rival in the MAC,” redshirt senior Andrew Romanchik said.
