The most important win of the dual for the Cowboys was Jack Jensen's upset of No. 5 Roger Kish. Jensen recorded a takedown with 16 seconds remaining in sudden victory overtime to win a key 5-3 decision that made the difference for the Cowboys.
With the Gophers holding a 14-9 advantage in team scoring, Jensen's upset win changed the complexion of the dual. 197-pounder Clayton Foster followed with a 4-1 win over Justin Bronson to give the Cowboys a 15-14 lead in the dual heading into the final bout, which heavyweight Jared Rosholt won by a 4-2 decision over Ben Berhow.
Top-ranked 125-pounder Jayson Ness of Minnesota started the dual with an 18-5 major decision win over OSU's Tyler Shinn, but the Cowboys came back to win a pair of showcase matches at 133 and 141 as top-ranked Coleman Scott handed No. 5 Mack Reiter an 8-2 defeat and No. 2 Nathan Morgan followed with a 6-4 decision over No. 3 Manuel Rivera. An 8-3 win by Ryan Freeman over Luke Mellmer at 149 pounds followed to provide the Cowboys with a 9-4 lead in the dual.
The Golden Gophers responded with three straight victories, one a major decision from No. 6 C.P. Schlatter over Neil Erisman and two upsets at 165 pounds and 174 pounds that put them on top 14-9.
That was where Minnesota stayed, however, as Oklahoma State won the last three matches to win the dual.
