"Boo stands out to to me," Oklahoma State head coach John Smith said. "Travis WIttlake looked pretty good and our three upperweights did a good job at the end to close the dual out."
Trevor Mastrogiovanni won the first bout of the day with a hard-fought 2-1 decision. The freshman secured his fifth victory of the season by riding out Cody Phippen the entirety of the third period.
Air Force took a 6-3 lead after wins at 133 pounds and 141 pounds where Dusty Hone made his season dual debut for OSU. Late in the third period up 4-2, Hone got taken down and looked to take the lead back with a reversal, but his points were deducted after review ruled the reversal took place after time had expired. The ruling gave Lenny Petersen the 5-4 advantage with riding time.
Boo Lewallen put a stop to the Falcons' momentum and returned the lead in favor of the Cowboys with a 22-3 technical fall over Dylan Martinez. The No. 4 ranked 149 pounder in the nation picked up his third technical fall of the season, which is tied for the team lead.
Lewallen gave the Pokes an 8-6 lead and OSU never looked back winning the final seven matches of the dual.
Jalin Harper picked up his third-consecutive win in a 3-1 decision following his solid performance in Little Rock last Sunday. Fourth-ranked Travis Wittlake added another tech fall for the Cowboys at 165 pounds to separate the score even more before Dustin Plott improved his record to 5-0 in his freshman campaign with a 5-3 victory over Cody Surratt.
For the second weekend in a row Dakota Geer and AJ Ferrari went back-to-back technical falls. The duo at 184 and 197 tied Lewallen with their third tech falls of the season against Air Force.
Geer did his work early carrying an 8-1 lead into the second period before adding more points in the second and needing just 12 seconds in the third period to clinch the 22-3 tech fall. Contrary to Geer, Ferrari used an escape and four takedowns in a nine point third period to secure the victory.
Austin Harris ended the night for the Cowboys with his first bonus-point victory of the season, a 12-2 major decision over Wyatt Hendrickson.
No. 4 Oklahoma State will look to stay unbeaten next Saturday when the Pokes travel to Northern Iowa for a 1 p.m. dual before a bout with No. 9 Iowa State in Ames at 7 p.m.
