DAVIDSON, N.C. – Ohio Northern overcame an early Davidson lead with 24 points in the final six bouts to earn a 27-19 victory over the Wildcats in non-conference wrestling action Sunday afternoon in Belk Arena.
Freshman Kevin Birmingham (149 pounds) and junior Scott Patrick (184) led Davidson (0-3) with wins by fall. Mick Lechter earned a pin at 157 pounds and Kyle Kwiat earned a technical fall at 174 pounds to lead Ohio Northern (4-3).
Davidson led 13-3 after the first four bouts, but Ohio Northern took five of the last six. Junior Matt Zarth (125) opened the match with a 9-4 decision over the Polar Bears' Jerome Pasquale, but Jeremy Jones held on for a 2-1 win over Davidson freshman Anthony Elias to tie the match at 3-3. Freshman Ben Hartshorn then earned a 12-4 major decision and Birmingham pinned Kyle Brezovec in just 27 seconds to build Davidson's early lead.
Ohio Northern took a 17-13 lead though with three consecutive wins as Lechter earned a pin at 157 pounds, William Painter took a decision at 165 pounds and Kwiat earned technical fall at 174.
Patrick looked to put Davidson back in contention with a pin in 50 seconds at 184 pounds, but the Wildcats had to spot Ohio Northern six points with a forfeit at 197 pounds and Cody Lovejoy won a major decision for ONU at heavyweight for the final 27-19 margin.
Davidson will next compete against Princeton, Columbia and Eastern Michigan at the Pitt Duals hosted by the University of Pittsburgh Saturday, Jan. 7.
