"I thought we did a pretty good job in that first match with Binghamton, but had a little bit of a letdown in a couple matches in the later match with Bucknell,†coach John Smith said. “I like what I saw in the key matches against Binghamton.â€
The Cowboys (11-0) had a total of 77 takedowns on the day and gave up just two, including a 38-1 advantage over Binghamton and a 39-1 advantage over Bucknell.
Senior Jamal Parks and Albert White had the biggest wins of the day in back-to-back bouts, each defeating a top-10 wrestler from Binghamton.
Parks knocked off No. 4 Donnie Vinson at 149 pounds with a pair of takedowns and a 1:03 riding time advantage in a 5-3 decision.
White also won 5-3, picking up a two-point nearfall as the final buzzer sounded to break a 3-3 tie against ninth-ranked Justin Lister.
“Just staying tough, just staying in the match (was my mindset),†White said. “The match isn't over until the last whistle is blown, so keep wrestling through it.â€
OSU added a third win over a ranked opponent when heavyweight Alan Gelogaev earned a technical fall over No. 19 Nick Gwiazdowski, 22-7, in seven minutes.
