JCU Wins More Matches But Ohio Northern Earns More Points As Streaks Fall By Four

There were nine matches actually contested, and John Carroll won five of the nine.

But six free points given away by a forfeit at 125 and six points vehemently earned at 285 pounds proved to be the difference for visiting Ohio Northern as the Polar Bears escaped the DeCarlo Varsity center with a 22-18 victory in Ohio Athletic Conference dual meet action Tuesday night.

The Blue Streaks were in a 10-0 hole early on after the forfeit at 125 and a major decision loss at 133. But junior John Coccick turned the tide with a 3-1 win at 141 pounds. Connick and Dylan Dolph were deadlocked at one late in the third period until Connick scored the winning two points on a takedown with ten seconds left.

Dan Mirman continued his dominant season with a pin in the final minute at 149 pounds, and Thomas McNulty followed with a strong come-from-behind win at 157 by a 6-4 count

In the biggest swing match of the night, Ohio Northern's Colt Lovejoy upset previously undefeated and #3 ranked Terner Gott, 2-1, in a match that did feature a single take down. Lovejoy accrued over a minute of riding time in the third period that proved to be the difference. Lovejoy was champion of last weekend's Wheaton Invitational and improved to 28-4 on the year. Gott fell to 25-1.

Ohio Northern's momentum continued at 174 pounds with a victory by decision, and the Polar Bears held a 16-12 lead with three matches left. Danny McNamara got the Blue Streaks a must-have win at 184 when he scored a takedown with three seconds left to force overtime, then took less than 15 seconds to win in sudden victory with a takedown for a 10-8 triumph.

Todd Gaydosh gave the Blue Streaks the lead heading into the final match as he won 10-3 at 197, but the happiness did last long as Ohio Northern's Cody Lovejoy slammed the door. Undefeated and ranked #1 in Division III, Lovejoy closed the match with a pin at 1:03 to deliver his team the four-point victory.

Ohio Northern improves to 14-4 overall and 2-1 in the OAC, while John Carroll falls to 5-8 and 0-3 in league action.
