STILLWATER, Okla. - The No. 4 Oklahoma State wrestling team stormed to a 31-6 win over Nebraska in Gallagher-Iba Arena Friday night. The Cowboys won eight of the 10 bouts and claimed bonus points in each of the first five to run away with the overwhelming victory.
With the win, OSU improved to 13-2-1 overall on the year and 2-1-1 against the Big 12, while the Cornhuskers fell to 9-10 overall and 0-3 vs. the Big 12 in defeat.
The Cowboys staked their claim to the dual immediately, as 125-pounder Chris Notte claimed a 12-2 major decision win over David Klingsheim and 133-pounder Jordan Oliver followed with a 20-5 technical fall domination of Ridge Kiley to put the Pokes up, 9-0 through two bouts.
"You like to see in those earlier matches where we put a lot of points up. We did a good job on the takedowns," Coach John Smith said. "I like the attitude of domination when you have the chance to do that. I think several of our guys pushed through it and picked up some bonus points for us."
OSU 141-pounder Jamal Parks followed with an 11-3 major decision win over Mike Koehnlein before 149-pounder Luke Silver claimed his second consecutive dual victory over a Big 12 opponent with a 12-2 major decision triumph over Dustin Payne.
Junior 157-pounder Neil Erisman kept the bonus-point streak going with a 15-0 technical fall shutout of Tyler Koehn to give his team a 22-0 lead in the dual. From that point, things got a bit closer. OSU's Alex Meade fell short of his major decision bid but still claimed a comfortable 12-5 win over James Nakashima before Cowboy 174-pounder Mike Benefiel lost a very physical and sometimes-testy match to No. 4 Stephen Dwyer.
Clayton Foster got the Cowboys back in the win column with a 9-3 win over Josh Ihnen at 184 pounds before Alan Gelogaev lost a tough 3-0 decision to No. 2 Craig Brester.
"At some of the weights we didn't compete hard enough," Nebraska coach Mark Manning said. "So I will be getting that point across. We have to get off bottom. We have to wrestle at the end of periods. We just didn't wrestle very well. Even at 174 and 197, they did a good job at slowing us down and controlling the ties. Oklahoma State outwrestled us in lots of different facets."
In the finale at heavyweight, Jared Rosholt was a 9-5 winner over No. 13 Tucker Lane. In claiming that victory, Rosholt extended his winning streak to 25 and avenged a loss to Lane at last year's Big 12 Championships.
"I was pleased with Rosholt getting the victory after losing the last time to his opponent," Smith said. "I think that's important when somebody who beat you last and you come back and you beat them. That's what Jared did. The last time he wrestled him was in the Big 12 consolation finals and got beat. It was good to see him turn that around in the dual."
The Cowboys return to action when they host Binghamton at 7 p.m. on Feb. 19 in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
"We're getting closer. We're not where we want to be," Smith said. "We've still got some guys one or two pounds heavier than I like to see sometimes. For the majority part, it's in check, but it's not where we need it. We have three weeks before the Big 12 to continue to focus on that. I do believe for the majority of them it's not the sacrifice it was at one time in the season. I do think we climbed over a hump."
