OSU won eight of the 10 bouts, highlighted by a 59-second pin from Alan Gelogaev at 197 pounds, technical fall victories by Jordan Oliver at 133 pounds and Jared Rosholt at 285 pounds and a 14-3 major decision win from Jamal Parks at 141 pounds.
“I go out every match just trying to put points on the board,” Oliver said. “My style is to attack and keep scoring and if my opponents aren't wrestling, I just keep attacking and keep scoring. I keep pressure on the guys and keep the action going.”
The lone Cowboy defeats came at 149 pounds, where Luke Silver lost a 9-7 decision to Donnie Vinson and at 174 pounds, where OSU’s backup 157-pounder Alex Munoz was pinned by returning All-American and 17th-ranked Josh Patterson in 3:59.
“We were a little slow. In a few matches, we appeared to be a little bit nonchalant at times but in other matches we looked really good,” OSU coach John Smith said. “I thought 133 and 141 was a solid effort. I thought 157 was good. Obviously, 197 and heavyweight finished it out for us. It’s definitely something we can take and utilize for Sunday’s Bedlam match.”
The Pokes close out the regular season Sunday when they host eighth-ranked Oklahoma at 2 p.m.
“Bedlam is going to be a tough match. Both teams are very good this year, definitely a lot better,” Smith said. “The last match in Norman was a 16-16 tie and we’re definitely not looking for a tie. It’s the last match of the year. We’ve got several seniors leaving the program after this year. Jared Rosholt is the top name there and Chris Notte, of course; also Tyler Shinn and Kevin Wainscott. It’s a good group of kids and definitely would like to see a win for them in their last match in Gallagher-Iba Arena.”
