COLUMBUS, Ohio – On the heels of a season-long five-match winning streak, the fourthranked Ohio State wrestling team (9-3, 5-1) welcomes No. 21 Purdue (8-5, 1-3) to St. John
Arena on Friday before heading to New Jersey to face the 22nd ranked Rutgers Scarlet
Knights (10-5, 1-5).

BUCKEKYES IN A NUTSHELL
• Following wins over Indiana and Maryland last weekend, the Buckeyes maintained their
fourth-place ranking in the latest USA Today/National Wrestling Coaches Association poll.
Ohio State is one of four Big Ten schools ranked in the top five.
• Defending national champion Logan Stieber maintains his stranglehold on the No. 1 ranking
at 141 pounds this week. The redshirt senior from Monroeville, Ohio, is 17-0 on the year
with all of his wins coming via bonus points (including nine pins). Last weekend, he pinned
Indiana’s Sean Brown in 2:14, giving the Buckeyes a 31-7 lead in the dual. Two days later, he
needed just 2:54 to pin Maryland’s Shyheim Brown. With a career record of 107-3, Stieber’s
winning percentage of .972 is the best in school history.
• A major part of the Buckeyes’ success in 2014-15 has been the contributions of true
freshman Kyle Snyder (197 lbs.) and redshirt freshman Bo Jordan (165 lbs.). Snyder is 19-2 on
the year and ranked No. 4 nationally. He leads the team with 11 major decisions. Jordan, who
missed most of November and December with an injury, is one of two unbeaten Buckeyes this
year (11-0) and current is ranked fifth nationally.
• Head coach Tom Ryan, in his ninth season at Ohio State, is 108-41 since arriving in
Columbus. He previously spent 11 years at Hofstra where he won six straight conference
championships from 2001 through 2006.

SCOUTING PURDUE
The Boilermakers are one of 10 Big Ten
schools in this week’s USA Today/NWCA
Coaches Poll, checking in at No. 21. Purdue
is coming off a 26-9 loss at the hands of
No. 5 Penn State where it got victories
from Danny Sabatello at 133 pounds, Nick
Lawrence at 141 pounds and Doug Welch at
157 pounds. For his efforts, Sabatello was
named the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week
on Jan. 27. The Boilermakers own wins
this year over Indiana Tech, Northern Iowa,
Binghamton, SIU Edwardsville, Chattanooga,
North Carolina and Northwestern.
LAST TIME VS. PURDUE – Ohio State 16,
Purdue 15 (Feb. 3, 2014)
After dropping five of its six opening bouts
at Purdue, the Ohio State wrestling team
won its final four matches via decisions to
edge the Boilermakers, 16-15, at Holloway
Gymnasium in West Lafayette, Ind.
Logan Stieber’s major decision victory vs.
Danny Sabatello at 141 pounds proved to be
the difference maker as both teams won five
matches on the night. Stieber’s win was the
only one that came via bonus points.

Tom Ryan concluded his eighth season as head coach of the
Buckeyes in 2013-14. At the culmination of the season, Ryan
witnessed redshirt junior Logan Stieber capture his thirdconsecutive NCAA title, becoming the first wrestler in school
history to win three NCAA championships. The third Buckeye
to win a national title under Ryan’s tutelage, Stieber also won
a Big Ten title for the third consecutive year.
In all, Ryan has coached three different student-athletes to
five national championships as J Jaggers (141 pounds), the 2009
Ohio State Male Athlete of the Year, was a two-time champion
in 2008 and 2009 and Mike Pucillo was the 184-pound champion
in 2008. In the NCAA championship team race, the Ryan-led
Buckeyes have finished in the Top 10 in seven of the last eight
seasons, including back-to-back runner-up finishes in 2008 and
2009.
In addition to Stieber, Ryan coached Hunter Stieber and Nick
Heflin to All-America status at the conclusion of the 2013 NCAA
championships is Des Moines, Iowa. Hunter Stieber, who like
his older brother was crowned a Big Ten champion (141 pounds)
in 2013, finished third at the national event, while Heflin was a
fifth-place finisher at 174 pounds.
Throughout his tenure as the head coach of Ohio State, Ryan,
the 2009 national coach of the year, has maintained a high
standard of excellence for his student-athletes. In addition to
the successes of Jaggers, Pucillo and Stieber on the national
level, under Ryan’s guidance Lance Palmer (2007-10) became
just the second four-time All-American at Ohio State. (Tommy
Rowlands was the first). Ryan, a native of Wantagh, N.Y., is
averaging about three All-Americans a season having coached
23 selections during his seven-year term. Within the Big Ten
Conference, Ryan has coached a quartet of Buckeyes to league
titles in Pucillo (184 pounds in 2008), Palmer (149 pounds in
2010), Logan Stieber (133 pounds in 2012 and 2013) and Hunter
Stieber (141 pounds in 2013).
Academically, Ryan’s student-athletes have impressed with
six Buckeyes recognized by the National Wrestling Coaches
Association with NWCA All-Academic Team accolades – J.D.
Bergman, J Jaggers, C.J. Magrum (two-time), Corey Morrison
(two-time), Mike Pucillo and Colt Sponseller. Additionally,
Sponseller and Ian Paddock were lauded with NWCA Division
I True Freshman All-Academic Team honors.
After arriving at Ohio State in the spring of 2006, Ryan
immediately began the task of completing his coaching staff.
Ryan brought on board some of the best coaching talent in the
nation in Joe Heskett, Lou Rosselli and Tommy Rowlands. Two
years later, this staff would propel the Scarlet and Gray to the
program’s best finish in the NCAA championships. Backed by a
pair of national champions – Jaggers and Pucillo – for a total
of three finalists, Ohio State earned 79 points for the first of
consecutive runner-up finishes.
The following season, Ryan and Ohio State nearly pulled off
one of the biggest upsets in NCAA championship history when
three Buckeyes (Reece Humphrey at 133 pounds; Jaggers and
Pucillo) advanced to the finals with the team lead. In one of
the tightest team races in recent championship history, the
Buckeyes were clipped by Iowa by 4.5 points as Ohio State
finished with 92 points compared to the Hawkeyes’ 96.5.
Prior to coaching at Ohio State, Ryan was the head coach
at Hofstra from 1995-2006. While with the Pride, Ryan earned
ECWA and Colonial Athletic Association Coach of the Year
honors seven times. He also was named New York State
Coach of the Year twice. Leading Hofstra to six consecutive
conference titles, Ryan and the Pride recorded a 47-match (460-1) conference unbeaten streak in dual action which served
as the nation’s longest conference unbeaten streak. Ryan also
was an assistant coach at Indiana from 1992-94.
Ryan earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Iowa
in 1993. He and his wife, Lynette, have four children, Jordan,
Jake, Teague and Mackenzie.

Clifton Park, N.Y. | Nov. 15
The fourth-ranked Ohio State wrestling team opened its dual meet
season in dominating fashion, defeating Kent State, 38-3, on Thursday
night in front of 2,681 fans at St. John Arena. The Buckeyes won nine
of 10 matches and recorded bonus points in five matches.
In the opening match of the night (125 lbs.), redshirt freshman
Nathan Tomasello got Ohio State off to a fast start, recording a 20-5
technical fall of Kent State’s Del Vinas. Tomasello scored points early
and often in the match, including two take downs and a near fall in the
first period alone.
Johnni DiJulius, coming off a title at last weekend’s Mercyhurst
Open, eked out a tight 2-1 decision over Mack McGuire in the night’s
next match (133 lbs.). Redshirt senior Logan Stieber, a three-time
national champion making his 2014-15 season debut, gave the crowd
plenty to cheer about at 141 lbs., easily dispatching of Kyle Bauer, 150.
Kent State picked up four points in the next match of the night,
149 lbs., when Nate Valentine defeated Blake Riley-Hawkins, 12-0. At
157 lbs., a pair of top-10 ranked wrestlers – Josh Demas of Ohio State
(seventh) and Ian Miller of Kent State (second) matched up. Miller
took an early 2-0 lead in the first period, but Demas came back with a
takedown that resulted in a Miller injury, forcing him to medically forfeit. Kent State was also penalized a point for a personal misconduct,
giving the Buckeyes a 19-3 advantage.
In easily the most exciting match of the night, Ohio State’s Justin
Kresevic, a redshirt sophomore, pinned Tyler Buckwalter with just 14
seconds remaining in the third period to break a 2-2 tie. Mark Martin,
ranked eighth nationally, followed that with a 3-1 win at 174 pounds
against 16th-ranked Caleb Marsh. At 184 pounds, Kenny Courts had no
problem disposing of Cory Campbell, 17-5.
True freshman Kyle Snyder, making his St. John Arena debut,
picked up an 11-6 win over Cole Baxter at 197 lbs. and the match was
rounded out with Nick Tavanello’s overtime decision on criteria over
Mimmo Lytle at 285 lbs.

The fourth-ranked Ohio State wrestling team continued its strong
early-season showing on Saturday, picking up a pair of dual meet
victories at the Journeymen Tussle in Clifton Park, N.Y. The Buckeyes
topped Army, 37-6, and then followed that up with a 30-10 triumph
over Arizona State. With the wins, Ohio State is 3-0 on the year.
Against Army, Mark Martin got Ohio State on the scoreboard with
a 7-4 victory over Brian Harvey at 174 pounds, keyed by a stalling call
against Harvey and a Martin takedown late in the third period. At 184
ponds, Kenny Courts jumped out to an early 7-1 lead in the first period
thanks to two takedowns and a three-point near fall. He secured the
bonus point victory in the third with three takedowns.
Arizona State, which defeated Binghamton 23-15 earlier in the day,
jumped out to a 7-0 lead after the first two matches on the strength of
a major decision at 165 pounds and decision at 174 pounds. In the 174
pound match, Raymond Waters got a takedown in overtime to defeat
Martin.
From there, however, it was all Buckeyes as Ohio State won eight
on the next nine contests. Courts picked up a key 3-1 victory over
11th-ranked Blake Stauffer at 184 pounds and freshman Kyle Snyder
moved to 6-0 on the season with a 21-8 major decision at 197 pounds.
Tavanello then eked out a 3-2 decision over Chace Eskam at 285.

CLIFF KEAN INVITATIONAL
#5 MISSOURI 20, #7 OHIO STATE 19
Las Vegas, Nev. | Dec. 5-6
Columbus, Ohio | Dec. 14
Logan Stieber won the 141-pound title, picking up his 100th career
victory in the championship match, to highlight Ohio State’s efforts on
the final day of the Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas, Nev. Stieber
capped off a 5-0 weekend with two major decisions, running his season record to 10-0 and career mark to 100-3. The Cliff Kean title was
the fourth of his career, making him just the second wrestler to ever
win the event four times (Stephen Abas of Fresno State is the other).
In the team standings, Ohio State finished second overall in a field
that featured 11 ranked teams. The Buckeyes compiled 120 points,
behind only top-ranked Minnesota. Virginia Tech was third with 110
points.
Stieber scored early and often in the semifinal round and rolled to
a 9-1 major decision over Anthony Ashnault of Rutgers. Stieber then
took down second-seeded and third-ranked Devin Carter of Virginia
Tech in the finals, 12-3. The showdown was a rematch of last year’s
NCAA finals. He has now won all 10 of his matches by either major
decision, technical fall or fall this season. He was also selected as the
Most Valuable Wrestler.
Other individual standouts for the Buckeyes on Saturday included
third-place showings from Nathan Tomasello, Johnni DiJulius and Kyle
Snyder.
Seeded sixth at 125 pounds, Tomasello started his day with a
8-3 decision over Conor Youtsey of Michigan and then edged Ronnie
Bresser in the next consolation round, 4-3. He moved into the third
place match by upsetting fourth-seeded and seventh-ranked Josh
Martinez of Air Force, 6-2 and then rounded out the day with a 11-4
decision over Trey Andrew in the third place match. He is now 14-2 on
the year.
DiJulius, the defending champion at 133 pounds, had little trouble
through his first two consolation matches on Saturday, easily disposing
of Jade Rauser of Utah Valley, 19-3, and then taking out 12th-seeded
Ian Nickel of Cal State Bakersfield, 5-2. In the third consolation match
of the day, he edged fourth-seeded and 10th-ranked George DiCamillo
of Virginia, his second win over DiCamillo in the last two weeks. He
finished off his 5-0 day with a 9-0 major decision over fifth-seeded and
13th-ranked Earl Hall of Iowa State.
Snyder dropped a hard-fought 3-2 decision to second-seeded
and third-ranked Kyven Gadson of Iowa State in the semifinals,
but bounced right back to defeat Trent Noon by major decision and
advance to the third place match. In the match, he pulled away in the
third period for a 14-5 major decision over fifth-seeded and 18thranked Jace Bennett of Cornell. The true freshman is now 13-1 on the
season.
In a tightly contested, back-and-forth match, fifth-ranked Missouri
edged seventh-ranked Ohio State 20-19 on the fourth tiebreaker
criteria (first takedown of the first match) in front of 2,666 fans at St.
John Arena on Sunday afternoon. With the loss, the Buckeyes are 4-2
on the year while Missouri improves to 9-0.
With Ohio State leading the overall team score 19-16 and just the
285-pound match remaining, Missouri’s J’den Cox bumped up from
his usual position of 197 and wrestled the Buckeyes’ Nick Tavanello.
Cox, the reigning national champion at 197, defeated Tavanello 4-2 on
the strength of a third-period takedown. After being knotted on pins/
forfeits (1-1) and total match points (48-48), the tie was broken on
the first takedown of the first match, which went to Missouri’s Alan
Waters.
Sunday’s dual started at 125 pounds where third-ranked Alan
Waters earned an 11-8 decision over the Buckeyes’ Nathan Tomasello.
Waters jumped out to an early lead with a takedown and three-point
near fall in the first period, followed by a takedown with just two
seconds left in the second period.
At 133 pounds, Johnni DiJulius evened the match at three via a
5-2 decision over 16th-ranked Matt Manley. DiJulius raced out to a
4-0 lead on a takedown and reversal in the first two periods and then
gained an extra point on riding time.
At 157 pounds, Josh Demas returned to the lineup after being out
last week and proceeded to edge Joseph LaValle, 3-2. He scored his
points via a first-period takedown and second-period escape.

Top-ranked Iowa won the final four matches to rally past seventh-ranked Ohio State, 18-14, in wrestling action on Sunday afternoon in front of 6,558 fans at St. John Arena. The Hawkeyes improve
to 7-0 on the year (2-0 Big Ten) while the Buckeyes are 4-3 overall, 0-1
in the Big Ten.
Redshirt freshman Bo Jordan made his first appearance since the
beginning of November and quickly made up for lost time, notching
a 9-2 decision over seventh-ranked Nick Moore to give Ohio State a
14-8 lead in the overall team score. Iowa, however, responded with
decisions in the next four matches, including two that were decided by
a single point, to eke out the victory.
At 174 pounds, Mike Evans, ranked third nationally, started the
Iowa rally with a 5-2 decision over 12th-ranked Mark Martin. Evans
had a key reversal in the third period while holding a precarious
3-2 lead. In the next match at 184 pounds, Kenny Courts fell behind
against Sam Brooks 2-1 at the end of the first period and Brooks added
a third point with an escape in the second period. Courts cut the deficit
to 3-2 in the third on an escape but could get no closer.
The 197 pound match featured seventh-ranked Kyle Snyder against
sixth-ranked Nathan Burak. Snyder was changed with a stalling
warning late in the second period and Burak scored his only points on
escapes in the second and third periods, respectively.
Burak’s victory gave Iowa a 15-14 lead in the match and Bobby
Telford, ranked third nationally, defeated Nick Tavanello 4-0 in the final
match of the day at 285 pounds.
Seventh-ranked Ohio State won six of 10 matches, including momentum-swinging wins at 184 and 197 pounds, to knock off third-ranked
and defending national champion Penn State on Sunday in front of
6,109 fans at St. John Arena. With the win, Ohio State’s first over
Penn State since 2010, the Buckeyes improve to 5-3 and 1-1 in the Big
Ten. Penn State is 6-1, 2-1.
Holding a precarious 16-12 lead following a pin at 174 pounds by
fourth-ranked Matt Brown of Penn State, redshirt junior Kenny Courts
picked up a key 4-2 decision over Matt McCutcheon at 184 pounds
to give Ohio State a 19-12 advantage. Courts’ victory came on the
strength of an escape to start the third period, a takedown with 1:40
left and over two of riding time.
In the next match, 197 pounds, true freshman Kyle Snyder picked
up one of his most impressive wins of the season, knocking off fourthranked Morgan McIntosh, a reigning All-American, 6-1. Snyder, now
15-2 on the season, went ahead 1-0 early in the second period on an
escape and then scored a takedown with 45 seconds left in the period
for a 3-0 lead. Snyder notched one more takedown in the third period
and also racked up over two minutes of riding time for the final 6-1
decision.
Sunday’s win over Penn State marks the highest-ranked opponent
Ohio State has knocked off since a 21-9 victory over second-ranked

overall (4-1 Big Ten) while Indiana falls to 2-6 (0-5 Big Ten).

just six miles from his hometown of Monroeville, Ohio, was the star of
the night, earning his eighth pin of the year to send the sellout crowd
into frenzy at 141 pounds. Stieber needed just 2:14 to pin Indiana’s
Sean Brown. He moved to 16-0 on the year and 106-3 in his career.

team-leading 18th win of the year with a fall over Alonzo Shepherd in
