By Tim Glon
ADA — Senior Jordan Hardrick (Dayton/Wayne) became the 18th member of ONU's 100-Win Club, leading the No. 13-ranked Ohio Northern wrestling team to a 3-0 record on the first day of the Lycoming (Pa.) Duals at Lamade Gymnasium on Friday.
The Polar Bears (16-0 overall) opened the tournament with a 46-0 victory over Penn College, recording their third consecutive shutout. Northern then defeated host Lycoming 30-13 and Springfield (Mass.) 31-15 to win Pool C with a 3-0 mark.
As victors of Pool C, ONU advances to the semifinals on Saturday, where they will battle No. 8 Wisconsin-Eau Claire at 10:30 am.
Ohio Northern will then wrap up the tournament at 1:30 pm against either No. 6 Stevens (N.J.) or No. 21 Ithaca (N.Y.) in either the championship or third place match.
Hardrick picked up his 100th career win with an 8-4 decision against Penn College. He finished the day 3-0, is now 27-3 on the season and is 102-40 in his five-year career.
In the second match of the day, Northern won seven of the first eight weight classes to jump to a 30-6 lead over Lycoming.
The Polar Bears trailed Springfield 15-9 midway through the bout. But Hardrick won by major decision at 165 and sophomore Adam Myers (Springfield/Shawnee) won by decision at 174 and Northern led 16-15.
Sophomore Gavin Layman (Chesterton, Ind.) got a decision at 184 to make it 19-15 and senior Ben DePrest (Louisville, Ky./Saint Xavier) and junior Jadon Brownlee (Powell/Olentangy Liberty) had pins at 197 and 285 to seal the victory.
No. 2-ranked sophomore All-American Jacob Reed (Lancaster) and No. 10-ranked senior Chase Sumner (Ada) joined Hardrick, Myers and Layman with 3-0 records on the day.
Reed improved to 29-0 with a pin and a major decision and Sumner moved to 27-1 with two pins and a decision. Sumner now leads the team with 14 pins on the season.
The Polar Bears will return to action on Jan. 13-14 at the Lycoming (Pa.) Duals.
