With a 7-5 sudden victory, Sammy Sasso won his second Big Ten championship as a Buckeye in the 149-pound weight class.
It certainly wasn't easy, but Sasso was able to outlast No. 6 seed Michael Blockhus, 7-5, to win yet another Big Ten championship for the No. 1-seeded wrestler in the 149-pound weight class.
Blockhus took a 2-1 lead early following a 2-point takedown in the first period. Sasso then answered with a takedown of his own a short time later, taking a 3-2 lead at the end of the first period. After choosing down to start the second period, the Minnesota product was able to escape nearly 40 seconds into the period to tie it up, 3-3. Following a takedown by Blockhus, Sasso was able to escape with 17 seconds remaining in the period to cut the lead to 5-4.
Sasso then chose down to start the third period, just like his opponent did a period earlier. With an escape of his own to tie the score, 5-5, the final period of the match turned into a battle of takedowns, with each wrestler showing aggressiveness of his own. The score remained tied at five at the end of three periods.
With the match going to a sudden victory period, Sasso was able to fend off multiple attempts at a takedown by Blockhus and the Ohio State product was able to get a takedown of his own to win the match with a 7-5 decision and take home the Big Ten title at 149 pounds. It was the second Big Ten title of his career after he took home the conference championship in the same weight class in 2021.
