"Our guys came out and wrestled very well for our first action underneath the lights," OU head coach Jack Spates said.
Sam Hazewinkel (125) defeated Mike Sees of Bloomsburg, 8-6; Teyon Ware (141) defeated Cesar Grajales of Pennsylvania, 4-1; Matt Storniolo (149) defeated Patrick Simpson of Army, 1-0; Jarrod King (165) defeated Mickey Moran of Buffalo, 3-2 and Jake Hager defeated Marcus Adelman of Ohio, 8-0.
"Jarrod King is someone who we are very excited about and he showed why tonight," Spates said. "He came in as the No. 4 seed in the tournament and came away with the individual title. His performance was very impressive as he showed great technique and great character. Jarrod is going to get better each day and we expect great things to come from him.
"We still need to make some technical adjustments but that is very normal for this time of year," Spates continued. "Our guys are in very good shape for this point in the season and that is something that will improve as we move on through our schedule."
Justin Dyer placed third at 184 pounds as did Will Rowe at 145 pounds. Freshman Brad Farmer finished fourth in the heavyweight division. Hazewinkel had three pins on the day to win the Most Pins Award to go along with his individual title.
The Sooners next travel to Columbia, Mo., to compete in the Missouri Open on Sunday, Nov. 20.
