BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Hoosiers remain winless in Big Ten competion after falling to ninth ranked Illinois, 36-3. Just as in Friday's match with Penn State, Taylor Walsh was the lone victory for Indiana.
After pinning No. 8 Jackson Morse in the Midlands semifinal two weeks ago, Walsh had chance to add another fall to his total. This time, though, Morse battled hard and even led 2-0 in the second period. But after a quick escape following Morse's takedown and another to start the third, Walsh tied the bout at two. The redhsirt senior finished off Morse for the second time this season with a takedown late in the final period. Walsh improves to 24-2 (18 pins) on the season.
Similarly to when the two matched up in the Midlands consolation matches, Garret Goldman and Brooks Black need extra time to settle the bout. The two heavyweights went into the over time period tied 1-1 and the score remained the same after the first one minute period. Goldman could not repeat his Midlands result against Black, however. Black escaped in under 10 seconds and rode out in the second riding time period to seal the victory.
The Hoosiers are home again next weekend as they take on the Wildcats of Northwestern in the University Gymnasium on Sunday (Jan. 18) at 1 pm.
