“I thought overall we wrestled well today,” head coach Jim Zalesky said. “We had a lot of bonus points, and I thought we wrestled better as the day went on after losing a couple matches in the first dual of the day. Colby [Covington] came out really hard each match and was really physical and wrestled hard to get three falls. He set the tone today of how we want to guys to wrestle.”
The Beavers earned a 36-6 win over Northern Illinois before shutting out Minnesota State Moorhead, 48-0, and North Dakota State, 42-0. Thirteen wrestlers competed for Oregon State in the three duals with sophomore Garrett Drucker (Huntington Beach, Calif.) at 149 pounds, junior Jon Brascetta (Aurora, Colorado) at 165 pounds and redshirt freshman Ty Vinson (Great Falls, Mont.) at 184 pounds seeing their first dual meet action of the season. All three won all of their matches.
Covington pinned his competition faster each match, earning his first win over Mason True of Northern Illinois in 4:23. He then pinned pinned Jacob McLean of Minnesota State Moorhead in 3:56 before tallying the fall over Mac Stoll of North Dakota State in 2:25. Covington now leads the team in falls this season with nine.
Recording a pair of falls, 19th-ranked redshirt sophomore Jason Lara (Midway City, Calif.) remains perfect in dual meet action with a 7-0 record at 125 pounds. Lara won his first bout in a 10-7 decision over Izzy Montemayor of NIU before earning a fall over Corey Ulmer of MSUM in 2:23 and wrapped up competition against Justin Solberg of NDSU with a 3:34 fall.
Sophomore heavyweight Clayton Jack (Vacaville, Calif.) chalked up three bonus point wins with a fall over Dakota Greenhaw of Northern Illinois in 1:08, a major decision over Tim Johnson of MSUM and a 16-0 technical fall over Joe Arthur of NDSU in 4:53. Jack is the only other Beaver wrestler to be undefeated in dual meets thus far on the season.
Sophomore 16th-ranked Kelly Kubec (Lake Stevens, Wash.) continued to build on his winning streak at 133 pounds, which currently is the longest active with four straight wins. Kubec earned three bonus point wins, beginning with a major decision over Tristen DeShazer of Northern Illinois, 13-5, before a 20-5 technical fall over Evan Forde of Minnesota State Moorhead. Kubec earned extra points for the Beavers at 133 pounds against North Dakota State by forfeit.
