BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Ohio wrestling started the season strong, finishing with a 4-1 record at the Hoosier Duals on Saturday in the squad's first team-scored event of the 2007 campaign.
Ohio defeated Liberty (22-10), Duke (26-17), Cumberland (28-9) and Oregon (28-12) before being knocked off by the host Indiana Hoosiers 34-9 in the final match of the meet.
Jake Frerichs, Jacob Ison, Clay Tucker and Chris Iammarino shined for the Bobcats.
Frerichs compiled a 4-1 overall record at the event, featuring pins against Cumberland's Grant Hoppell (3:24) and Oregon's Jeremy McLoughlin (2:48). Ison posted a 4-1 record with two pins, his coming against Cumberland's Robert Germaine (2:10) and Oregon's Zach Frasier (6:59).

Other teams making the trip to Sin City include Michigan, Ohio State and future Ohio dual meet foes North Carolina, NC State, Pitt and Virginia Tech.
