    At 133, Anthony Madrigal picked up his first major decision of the year, shutting out John Twomey 8-0. The freshman used a takedown and a four-point nearfall for a 6-0 advantage after one period. The second went scoreless, but Madrigal added another takedown in the third to seal the win.

    No. 18 Dom Demas (141) won a major decision 10-2 against Garrett O'Shea. Demas got on the board first with an early takedown. O'Shea answered with an escape at the end of the first, then evened the score with another escape in the second. Demas took bottom to start the third and escaped to take a 3-2 lead. The Sooner added insurance with a takedown and a four-point nearfall to go up 9-2 before riding time was added.

    In his return to the mat, Jeremy Thomas picked up a 9-3 win over Jacoby Ward in the 165 pounds match. Thomas grabbed two takedowns in the first for a 4-1 lead after a Ward escape. Ward tallied two more escapes to narrow Thomas' lead to 4-3 after two, but Thomas used a reversal and a two-point nearfall for an 8-3 advantage. The Sooner locked up the riding time point with over two minutes in his favor.

    Anthony Mantanona (174) tallied his second major decision victory of the season when he downed Randy Meneweather 11-2. Mantanona went to work in the first, recording a takedown, a four-point nearfall and a reversal. Meneweather got a takedown of his own, but Mantanona went into the second with an 8-2 lead. He added another takedown to go up 10-2 and rode Meneweather out to earn an extra point.

    In the 184 bout, Kayne MacCallum held on for a win in sudden-victory overtime when he defeated Jacob Thompson 3-1. The bout was tied at 1-all after MacCallum escaped in the second and Thompson evened the score with an escape in the third. MacCallum got a takedown in overtime to close out the win.
