Coleman Scott continues to jump start the rest of the Cowboy lineup with a strong showing at 125. Scott began the dual with five quick points in the first period and finished off Ben Hanisch with a major decision, 10-0.
The rest of the lineup followed suit as Zack Esposito also recorded a major decision, and Nathan Morgan and Johny Hendricks both beat ranked wrestlers to pace the Cowboys.
The Cyclones did get bonus points from Nate Gallick and Kurt Backes who recorded a technical fall and fall, respectively. The Cowboys proved to be too much for Iowa State, however, as OSU won seven of the 10 bouts.
Iowa State's third win of the afternoon came from second-ranked Trent Paulson at 157. Paulson won a decision over Kevin Ward who took a shot late in the match but could not finish the takedown that would have forced overtime.
Brandon Mason and Jake Rosholt each recorded decisions for OSU. Rosholt was working on a major decision and gave up a late takedown to Joe Curran and failed to get the bonus point victory.
The dual ended on a down note as Iowa State forfeited the heavyweight match to Steve Mocco. Head coach John Smith expressed his disappointment afterward.
"They were overmatched at that weight, but I remember sending somebody out against Cael Sanderson and being overmatched against them too," Smith said.
The Cowboys will return to action on Friday when Nebraska visits Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys defeated the Huskers 20-14 in the semifinal round of the National Duals back on Jan. 15. OSU will close out the home portion of the schedule on Feb. 10 against Hofstra.
