No. 1 Luke Pletcher Drops His First Match of the Season As No. 6 Ohio State Comes Up Short at No. 2 Penn State

There will be a new No. 1 at 141 pounds Monday.

After wrestling one of the toughest schedules in the country this year, No. 1 Luke Pletcher came up short in his toughest match to date, falling to No. 2 Nick Lee in Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center Saturday night. The match would end up being a harbinger of things to come for the Buckeyes, as the Nittany Lions won their fifth dual in a row against Ohio State, 20-16.

Pletcher took command of the match early, looking as crisp and aggressive in the first period as he has all season.
