Ann Arbor, Mich.- The Indiana wrestling team dropped its second straight match to a top 10 opponent with a 25-13 loss to No. 8 Michigan in Ann Arbor. Indiana dropped to 15-6 overall and 0-3 in the Big Ten, while the Wolverines improved to 7-4 and 2-0 in the Big Ten.
The Wolverines jumped out to a 9-0 advantage, thanks in part to the Hoosier forfeit at 125. At 133, seventh-ranked Foley Dowd decisioned senior Greg Schaefer, 6-2, for the early nine-point margin.
Junior Coyte Cooper picked up the Hoosiers first win of the night with a 5-3 overtime decision over UM's Clark Forward. Locked at three entering the overtime period, Cooper registered a takedown to pick up the win. The win was Cooper's 20th in dual meets as he improved to 29-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten.
The Wolverines reeled off three straight wins, two by technical fall to all but seal the win. The Wolverines held a commanding 22-3 lead at that point. The Hoosiers picked up three of their own at 174, 184 and 197 to narrow the gap to 22-13 before U of M won the final match.
At 174, Freshman Brady Richardson picked up his first win since Jan. 4 with a 7-4 win over R.J. Boudro of Michigan. Richardson returned to the lineup last night against Ohio State after missing part of the year with an injury. He improved to 16-6 overall and picked up his first career Big Ten victory.
Senior Ty Matthews continued his winning streak with his 15th straight victory win, a major decision over Willie Breyer, 10-0. The win improved Matthews' record to 18-4 overall and a perfect 2-0 in the Big Ten conference.
After having his 18-match winning streak snapped in overtime Friday night, sophomore Pat DeGain returned to his winning ways with a 6-3 victory over 16th-ranked Kyle Smith of Michigan. The win was DeGain's 27th of the season as opposed to only two losses. He is 19-2 in dual matches and 2-1 in the Big Ten.
The Hoosiers will return to action next Friday when they host No. 22 and archrival Purdue. IU and the Boilers will battle for the all important Titan Series point. The match will carry a 7:00 p.m. start time in Bloomington at University Gymnasium.
