It was the fourth straight win for UCO, which got major decisions from 133 Aaron Hane and 141 Joshua Ailey in addition to regular decisions from Carrillo, 149 Spencer Rutherford, 157 Jeromy Davenport and 174 Mason Thompson in improving to 9-5.
Carrillo upended second-rated Ricky McCarty 4-3 in helping UCO turn a 3-0 deficit into a 20-3 lead before the Stars won the final three matches to arrange the final score.
"We won some tight matches that we had to have," head coach David James said. "Danny really had a gutsy performance in what was probably the swing match of the dual. I thought our guys wrestled hard and we continue to make positive strides."
Hane broke a scoreless tie with an escape seconds into the second period before adding a takedown and penalty point to go up 4-0. He pulled away in the final stanza with two more takedowns, an escape, penalty point and riding time point to notch the bonus-point win.
Ailey racked up nearly five minutes riding time in recording his fourth consecutive bonus-point win at 141 to bump UCO's lead to 8-3, throwing James Landoll to his back for a six-point move in the final 20 seconds to secure the 13-1 rout.
Rutherford prevailed for the eighth time in nine matches with a 5-0 shutout at 149, sandwiching first- and third-period takedowns around a second-period escape.
Davenport needed a riding time point to pull out a tight 3-2 victory at 157 that put the Bronchos up 14-3, gaining the need one-minute advantage time by a scant two seconds.
Carrillo followed with his huge win, using first- and third-period takedowns along with some scappy defense to trim McCarty for his sixth consecutive victory.
Thompson gave UCO its sixth straight win – and third straight nail-biter -- at 174 with a 5-3 triumph , getting a final-minute takedown on the edge of the mat to break a 2-2 tie and then barely staving off Jamie Shawver's tying takedown try in the final seconds.
Zac D'Amico dropped a hard-fought 3-1 overtime decision to top-ranked Adrian Gaines in the first match of the night. The two traded escapes in regulation and D'Amico was in position to score the tie-breaking takedown in the final seconds of the sudden-victory period when Gaines flipped D'Amico over to get the winning takedown at the buzzer.
The Bronchos dropped two one-point decisions, with Brock Warren falling 2-1 to fourth-ranked Derek Sivertsen at 184 and Evan McGee losing to Korey Walker 3-2 at heavyweight.
UCO is back in action Sunday when it hosts Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rival Central Missouri at 2 p.m. in the home finale.
