Down 10 points after the first three weights, Houdashelt put the Tigers on the board with a 4-0 decision over No. 8 Josh Kindig. Houdashelt's victory was his third over Kindig this season, with the previous coming by way of a 10-2 major decision at the Joe Parisi Open, followed by a 5-3 decision in the semis at the Southern Scuffle. His 27 victories on the season now ties him for the team high. The O'Fallon, Mo.-native, ranked No. 1 in the nation at 149 pounds, defeated No. 2 Kendric Maple of Oklahoma on Thursday to hold on to the top spot.
No. 6 Cox picked up his 16th win in his last 17 bouts with a 9-3 decision over Nolan Boyd, who replaced OSU's No. 10 Blake Rosholt in the starting lineup. Cox climbed out to an early 5-0 lead with a takedown and three backpoints in the first period, and added a third period takedown to seal the decision.
Lavion Mayes nearly had his second win over a ranked wrestler in as many nights at 141 pounds, falling to No. 20 Anthony Collica in tie-breaker 1, 6-3. Mayes defeated 2012 All-American Nick Lester (Oklahoma) Thursday night, 6-4.
The Tigers fall to 6-2 on the season following the squad's second loss to a top-10 team. Oklahoma State picks up their sixth straight win over the Tigers, dating back to the 2010-11 season.
