Top-ranked 133-pounder Coleman Scott was stunned by unranked Ryan Dunn, whose takedown with three seconds remaining in the third period fueled the 5-3 upset. The Cowboys were more than able to overcome Scott's defeat, thanks largely to Jack Jensen's pin of Marcus Myers at 184 pounds, Jared Rosholt's 23-8 technical fall win over Charlie Alexander and Neil Erisman's 12-3 major decision win over Kyle Bounds at 157 pounds.
Sophomore 141-pounder Brad Neitenbach made his dual match debut for Oklahoma State Friday and used a five-point move in the second period to pick up a 9-8 win over Cody Moulton. Neitenbach stepped in for No. 2 Nathan Morgan, who was resting a leg injury but is expected to return to the lineup shortly.
The Cowboys return to action at 2 p.m. Sunday when they face UC Davis at the Pavilion in Davis, Calif. The dual will be broadcast live on 93.7 KSPI FM radio in Stillwater and worldwide via the internet at www.okstate.com.
Match-by-Match:
125 pounds: No. 16 Tyler Shinn got things started in the dual by claiming a 6-4 win over Joey Lucas. Shinn recorded a pair of takedowns in the first period and took a 4-1 lead into the second period. Shinn chose down to start the period and notched an escape to score the lone point of the second stanza. Lucas escaped in the third period then added a takedown in the waning moments of the bout, but it wasn't enough as Shinn had 2:08 of riding time to seal the victory.
133 pounds: Top-ranked Coleman Scott saw his 18-match winning streak snapped by Duck junior Ryan Dunn, who scored a takedown with three seconds remaining in the match to pull the upset. Scott notched a first-period takedown before cutting Dunn loose to bring the score to 2-1. An escape by Scott early in the second period increased the Cowboy senior's advantage to 3-1, but he was called for stalling later in the period to bring the score to 3-2. Dunn tied the match at 3-3 early in the third period when Scott let him loose, then with about 25 seconds left, Dunn got in on a single leg and held Scott's leg in the air. Scott bounced around on one leg until Dunn was able to score the decisive takedown with three ticks left.
141 pounds: With Nathan Morgan resting a leg injury, Brad Neitenbach made his dual match debut against Cody Moulton and won a 9-8 decision. Neitenbach stormed in for an early takedown, but Moulton followed an escape with a takedown and a two-point nearfall to take a 5-2 lead. Moulton escaped early in the second period to increase his lead to 6-2. Neitenbach notched a second takedown to bring the score to 6-4, but Moulton escaped shortly thereafter to take a 7-4 lead. Late in the second period, Neitenbach made the decisive move of the match when he caught Moulton and wrapped up his head to notch a takedown and then turned him to his back to take a 9-7 advantage. Moulton escaped early in the third period, but Neitenbach shut him out the rest of the way to pick up a 9-8 win.
149 pounds: OSU senior Ryan Freeman won his third match in his last four outings by picking up a 2-0 win over Elliott Tracy. After a scoreless first period, Freeman scored an escape early in the second period, then suffocated Tracy with a hard ride for the duration of the third period to ice the win.
157 pounds: Neil Erisman racked up his first dual match major decision when he picked up a 12-3 win over Kyle Bounds. Erisman scored five takedowns and added 1:51 of riding time to seal bonus points for the Cowboys.
165 pounds: Stepping in for regular starter Jake Dieffenbach was Kevin Wainscott, who picked up a 9-8 win over Zack Frazier. Wainscott scored two takedowns and four escapes in the bout and added 1:57 of riding time that ended up being the difference. Wainscott held a 4-2 lead going into the final period and swelled his lead to 6-3 after letting Frazier loose then taking him down. However, Frazier responded with a reversal to trim the deficit to 6-5. A Wainscott escape was followed by another Frazier takedown to tie the score at 7-7. Wainscott escaped again, but was then called for stalling to deadlock the score at 8-8 with less than 10 seconds left. With the crowd in a frenzy, Wainscott clamped down to hold a desperate Frazier scoreless for the remainder of the bout and his riding time point ended up being the difference.
174 pounds: No. 8 Brandon Mason held off an upset bid from Ron Lee to pick up a 7-5 win. Mason held a 5-3 lead after one period after scoring a pair of takedowns and getting an escape following a Lee reversal. The lone point of the second period came when Mason notched and escape to go up, 6-3. Lee chose down to open the third period and scored a reversal as Mason tried to run both legs in on him. Mason escaped shortly after the reversal for the final scoring in the bout.
184 pounds: Jack Jensen stacked up on Marcus Myers to pin the Duck senior just 1:25 into the first period. Trailing Jensen by a 2-1 margin, Myers took an ill-advised shot and got in too far on Jensen, who captured Myers' head and stacked him up for the fall.
197 pounds: True freshman Clayton Foster hit the 20-win plateau for the season with a 4-1 win over Shaun Dee. After a scoreless first period, Foster notched an early escape and followed it up with a takedown to go up, 3-0 in the second period. Dee exploded out for an escape in the third period, but that was all he could muster. Foster added 1:27 of riding time to ice the win.
285 pounds: Fueled by a pair of two-point nearfalls in the first period and a take-him-down, cut-him-loose mode of operation, No. 8 Jared Rosholt overwhelmed Charlie Alexander with a dominating 23-8 technical fall win. Rosholt scored an early takedown in the first period and rode Alexander before turning him to his back for a two-point nearfall. Alexander was able to get off his back, but could not escape Rosholt, who turned him to his back a second time before the period ended. Rosholt opened the second period with an escape and added three more takedowns to swell his lead to 13-2 after two periods. Another four Rosholt takedowns in the third period to go with 3:05 of riding time cemented his resounding win.
