    Oklahoma State rolls Iowa State in opener

    AMES, Iowa -- The No. 2 Oklahoma State wrestling team stormed past Iowa State in its first dual of the 2011-12 season, earning a 29-9 win in front of 2,248 at Hilton Coliseum.

    The Cowboys improve to 1-0 (1-0 Big 12) on the year, while the Cyclones fall to 0-4 (0-1 Big 12).

    “Overall, I was pleased with a few of them that wrestled really well,” coach John Smith said. “Jordan Oliver and Josh Kindig – stepping up and getting quick falls. I even liked Bailey's first two periods. He looked like he quit a little bit in the third. Chris McNeil gave me a lot of hope in the third period, scoring that takedown, and he should have scored the second one.

    “It was definitely an eye-opener for me that I saw several areas, especially on our feet and on the mat that we need to work on.”

    Senior transfer Cayle Byers, wrestling in dual competition for the first time as a Cowboy, opened the night with a 9-1 major decision over ISU's Cole Shafer to give OSU a 4-0 lead. The 197-pounder is now 8-0 on the year.

    Alan Gelogaev was up next for the Cowboys at heavyweight. The junior, seeing his first dual action since 2010, picked up a 9-3 win over No. 19 Matt Gibson, to increase the lead to 7-0.

    After Sophomore Ladd Rupp fell in the closest match of the night to No 9 Ryak Finch, 6-4, at 125 pounds, top-ranked Jordan Oliver began his quest to defend his national title with a fall over Shayden Terukina in 2:38 at 133.

    Sophomore Josh Kindig followed Oliver with a pin of his own at 141 pounds to break the dual open for the Cowboys with a 19-3 advantage. Kindig's fall was recorded in just 1:57 against Luke Goettl.

    Senior All-American Jamal Parks won a 6-3 decision at 149 pounds, before senior Albert White recorded a 13-5 major decision at 157 pounds to earn the Cowboy's fourth bonus-point win of the night.

    Dallas Bailey and Chris McNeil then lost close decisions at 165 and 174 pounds and No. 9 Chris Perry won 9-2 over No. 12 Boaz Beard to give the Cowboys a 29-9 final advanage and a team win in their first dual of the season.

    Oklahoma State resumes Dec. 4 when they take on fourth-ranked Minnesota at 1 p.m. at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.
