Ohio State redshirt freshman wrestler Kollin Moore lost to Brett Pfarr by major decision the first time the two met. Moore got the last laugh on Sunday, however.

After closing the gap late in the season, Moore finally got his hand raised against the Minnesota senior on the big stage, winning a 15-10 decision to capture the Big Ten title. 

Moore scored a takedown almost immediately in the match, but wasn't able to keep Pfarr on the mat for long. Later on, Moore caught Pfarr on his back during a scramble and nearly pinned his opponent before Pfarr could escape the position. 

Instead of biding his time and stalling to end the match, Moore tacked on another late takedown to seal the deal and earned a 15-10 decision.

Moore's victory gave the Buckeyes more breathing room in the team race, where they were hotly contested by Penn State.
