    Oklahoma looks for first Big 12 victory Friday

    NORMAN, Okla. -- The No. 8/13 Oklahoma Sooners (8-3, 0-1) travel to Ames, Iowa to wrestle the No. 3 Iowa State Cyclones (7-3, 1-0) in their first road Big 12 dual of the season, Friday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m.

    The Sooners come into the match after defeating the Oregon Ducks, 29-10, last Saturday at the Howard McCasland Field House. The Cyclones opened up Big 12 action last Saturday as they defeated Nebraska, 25-12.

    Last season Iowa State defeated the Sooners in Norman, 19-16 as the Cyclones won six of the 10 matches.

    Iowa State comes into the match with nine of its 10 starters ranked in the top-20 of their individual weight classes and the Sooners have six of their 10 in the top-20.

    "We are very excited about getting into the Big 12 portion of our schedule and look forward to a tough test with Iowa State," head coach Jack Spates said.

    Iowa State leads the all-time series with the Sooners, 42-35-3. Head coach Jack Spates is 5-7-1 all-time against Iowa State.

    "We also welcome back Matt Storniolo and Will Rowe from injury and think that they will be able to return to the level they were competing at before their injuries. The Cyclones have a very tough team this year and we will need to come in focused and ready to wrestle to come away with a victory," Spates continued.

    The Sooners next home match will be Sunday, Feb. 4 at 3 p.m., as the Sooners entertain the Missouri Tigers.
