    Central Oklahoma hammers Newman

    WICHITA, Kan. -- Dustin Reed and Jarrett Edison scored falls as Central Oklahoma earned bonus points in half the matches to hammer Newman 36-6 here Wednesday night.

    The sixth-ranked Bronchos got bonus wins from Reed, Edison, Kaleb Cradduck, Chris Watson and Kelly Henderson in addition to decisions from Ky Corley, Tanner Keck and Cody Dauphin to easily overcome an early 6-3 deficit and improve to 8-5 on the year.

    UCO wraps up its dual and regular season schedule Saturday, hosting Ouachita Baptist for a 2 p.m. dual at Hamilton Field House.

    “We did some good things, but it was disappointing to lose the two matches that we did,” head coach David James said. “Both of them could have gone either way and we've got to find a way to win those tight matches at the end. But overall it wasn't a bad night and we just need to finish strong Saturday.”

    Reed picked up UCO's first bonus win with a first-period fall at 133, whipping Zach Vann to his back barely a minute into the match and earning his first pin of the season at the 1:37 mark.

    Cradduck, filling in for injured All-American Cory Dauphin and wrestling up a weight at 157, needed just over two minutes to record a 16-0 technical fall. He got a takedown in the first 10 seconds of the match and quickly racked up six near-falls to end the bout early.

    Watson earned a disqualification win just 43 seconds into his 165-pound match when Alex Prine was called for flagrant misconduct while Watson was working to turn him over after scoring a quick takedown.

    The eighth-ranked Henderson followed with a 9-0 major decision at 174, piling up four minutes of riding time while also scoring three takedowns.

    Edison, wrestling in his hometown for the final time, had three takedowns, a near-fall and a reverse in cruising to an 11-2 lead at 197 before turning Steven Cooksley over and getting the pin at 5:30.

    Corley had two reverses and a takedown in a methodical 7-1 victory at 149 and Dauphin scored a pair of takedowns to prevail 5-1 in the final match at heavyweight, while Keck pulled out a wild 10-9 win at 184.

    The second-ranked junior used three takedowns to build a 6-3 lead early in the second period and was up 8-5 after escaping to start the third before Tyler Hasenbank pulled even with a pair of takedowns. But Keck broke the 9-9 deadlock on an escape with 38 seconds left and held on for the win.

    UCO's two losses were both close, the first coming at 125 when Ryan Brooks dropped a 2-1 decision after Jordan Krenek was awarded a controversial reverse at the buzzer and the second at 141 where Casy Rowell was taken down 24 seconds into the sudden-victory period in falling to Mitch Arnold 6-4.
