The Stars improved to 2-1 in duals as Jake Mabry and Mark Meyer earned falls.
“We wrestled better,” OCU coach Archie Randall said. “The difference was a good practice. We came out aggressively, pushed the pace and were successful.”
Mabry sparked OCU by starting the dual with a pin. Mabry, a junior from Gig Harbor, Wash., finished off Kris Powell in 3:31 at 197.
After Neosho’s major-decision win at 125, Cameron Ream picked up a 13-3 major-decision win for OCU over Alfonso Osuna at 133.
John Lynch of the Stars used a takedown to erase a 2-1 deficit and rolled to a 13-6 win over Josh Wolfe at 141. Lynch, a freshman from Lakin, Kan., took the lead with 19 seconds left in the second period and added three takedowns in the final period.
OCU’s Cole Nelson notched a 5-3 overtime win over Josh Isam in the 157-pound bout. Nelson tied the match with an escape with 32 seconds left in regulation, then led 3-2 after a takedown with 25 seconds remaining. Isam forced overtime with a reversal.
After the minute sudden-victory period, Nelson recorded the reversal early in the 30-second overtime. Nelson, a freshman from Lakeside, Ariz., rode Isam out in the final 30 seconds to secure the win.
Meyer of the Stars caught Mike Vieira and finished him before the first period ended with six seconds remaining at 165.
The Stars compete next in the Missouri Open on Sunday in Columbia, Mo.
