Freshmen Bryce Meredith scored a pin at 133 pounds to give the Pack six team points, followed by #18 Sam Speno’s 6-1 decision at 141 pounds, which ended up clinching the dual. Freshman Sam Melikian scored a 7-5 overtime win at 149 for the Pack’s seventh win.

    The win was the Pack’s first versus Oklahoma in 11 all-time attempts. NC State faced the Sooners 10 previous times in school history all from 1996-2011, and all were in Norman.
