Kyle Snyder – Wrestling
- Snyder collected his second World title on Saturday defeating Russia’s Abdusalim Sadulaev in the gold medal match. Snyder’s win propelled Team USA to earning the World title at the World Wrestling Championships in Paris.
- Snyder, only 21, already has three World and Olympic titles. It is fitting that it was Snyder who won the clutch match to give the USA only its third-ever World Team Title in freestyle wrestling.

Men’s Soccer (1-1-0)
- Ohio State won its season opener over Pittsburgh Friday night with a goal from junior forward Michael Prosuk in the 90th minute.

The goal scored by Prosuk was the only goal of the game.
