Athletics Good Stuff
- “Buckeyes” to all those in the Department of Athletics and beyond who contributed time, effort, expertise and manpower to the men’s and women’s Big Ten cross country championships, which were held yesterday at the OSU Golf Club. It was a terrific, terrific event that only comes around about once every dozen years. The women finished fifth while the men finished 11th.
- Three women’s cross country runners finished among the Top 25 runners led by Abby Nichols, who was fifth with Julia Rizk (17th) and Lainey Studebaker (21st) contributing mightily to a three-year best finish at the Big Ten meet for the team.
- On the subject of hosting: don’t miss the men’s basketball season opener Wednesday night at Value City Arena. Coach Chris Holtmann’s third Ohio State team will host Cincinnati in the first meeting between the two rivals in Columbus in nearly 100 years, or since Dec. 10, 1921.
- Two-time football team captain Jordan Fuller is a finalist for the 2019 William V. Campbell Trophy. The award, presented by the National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame, annually recognizes the nation’s best football scholar-athlete based on combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership. Fuller earns an $18,000 post-graduate scholarship and will attend the NFF Hall of Fame/Scholar-Athlete banquet in NYC in December.
- Boom! Boom! The men’s hockey team swept Michigan in a two-game series this weekend at the Schottenstein Center: coming from behind twice to win, 3-2, on Friday and winning, 2-1, on Saturday on a Tate Singleton game-winner with less than two minutes to play. The Buckeyes are 6-1-1 on the season and 2-0-0-0 in the Big Ten and have won four consecutive games.
- The women’s hockey team also swept a conference foe this weekend, defeating Bemidji State, 4-3, in overtime Friday and, 3-1, Saturday to complete the road sweep. Junior Emma Maltais recorded her 100th career point as a Buckeye, just the 10th to do so. The Buckeyes are 7-3-2 overall and 5-3-2 in the WCHA
- The wrestling team opened in dominant fashion, winning five of the 10 championships at the MSU Open over the weekend. The five wrestlers who are unbeaten at 5-0 are Carson Kharchla, No. 1 ranked (197-lbs.) Kollin Moore, Luke Pletcher (with a championship match win over No. 1 Dom Demas of Oklahoma), Kaleb Romero and Sammy Sasso (three pins and two tech falls to end all bouts early).
- The field hockey team (9-8, 3-5 Big Ten), on a three-game winning streak, has earned a trip to the Big Ten tournament and will face No. 2-seeded Iowa on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 2 p.m.
- Men’s soccer, which has a five-win improvement this season over last, is also Big Ten tournament bound. The Buckeyes will play Rutgers Saturday in Bloomington, Ind.
- Soccer seniors Parker Siegfried, Osman Fofanah, CC Uche, Leo Kossaka, Jack Holland, Jake Scheper and Brennon Davis were honored Sunday on Senior Day prior to the Buckeyes match against Wisconsin.
- The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams won three of four “double duals” vs. Penn State and Virginia Tech over the weekend in State College, Pa.
- Three members of the Ohio State women’s soccer team were recognized by the Big Ten at the conclusion of their season: Izzy Rodriguez earned third-team all-Big Ten honors while Jordan Silkowitz was named to the all-freshman team and Bailey Kolinski was named the team’s sportsmanship award honoree.
- Catching up: Field hockey’s Whitney Harris was the Big Ten defensive player of the week last week while hockey’s Wyatt Ege was the Big Ten third star of the week last week.
