Pitt's wrestling team opened up its season with two consecutive wins over Ohio and Campbell on Sunday at the Mountaineer Duals in Morgantown. Neither team win was all that easy, though the second came with less suspense. Here are the full individual results.
First, the Panthers defeated Ohio, 21-16. Pitt trailed Ohio after the first four bouts as L.J. Bentley (125 pounds) and Nick Zanetta (141 pounds) both dropped 4-3 decisions. Pins by Jake Wentzel (157 pounds) and Teshan Campbell (165 pounds) opened things up a bit, giving Pitt an 18-6 lead. But three straight Ohio victories cut Pitt's lead to 18-16 and the Panthers needed a win in the final bout by heavyweight No.
