No. 4 Ohio State Grinds Out 18-13 Win Versus No. 14 Virginia Tech in Season Opener

The last time Virginia Tech came to Columbus to wrestle in Covelli Center, they upset the home team. That didn't happen this time.

Despite fielding a set of ranked combatants who came to Columbus ready to upend the No. 4 Buckeyes, the No. 14 Hokies couldn't get the job done. Ohio State won 6 of 10 bouts on the card, earning the 18-13 win via a series of close, hard-fought decisions.

The night got off to a rocky start at 149 pounds as No. 27 Caleb Henson pulled off a massive upset of No. 2 Sammy Sasso.
