Alonzo Allen got the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling team out to a good start in Sunday’s match against Ohio State.

The second-ranked Buckeyes quickly assumed control after that.

The UTC junior won the opening-match decision at 125 pounds, 6-3, but the Mocs ultimately fell to 2-3 for the season with a 39-3 loss at The Cooler in Alpharetta, Ga.

The Mocs (2-3) have a quick turnaround, hosting Ohio University at 7 this evening at Maclellan.

The Buckeyes racked up 12 bonus points Sunday by virtue of a pair of pins, a technical fall and four major decisions.
