Oregon State is on a two-match win streak since returning to Gill Coliseum.
Starting the night at 149 pounds, Josh Reyes suffered a sudden victory fall after a 1-1 draw in regulation.
The Beavers got their first win of the night at 157 pounds with freshman Hunter Willits. The Pueblo, Colo. native set the tone with a quick first period takedown, and followed that up with five more throughout the match on the way to a 14-6 major decision. Willits major pulled the score to 6-4 in favor of Cal Poly.
Rodney Williams rolled to an 8-3 decision at 165 pounds for his first win of the season. Two first period takedowns set the tone en route to a decision that put the Beavs on top for the first time of the night 7-6.
Freshman Myles Terry won his second match in a row in stellar fashion. Nine first period points propelled Terry to his first ever collegiate technical fall over Killian Vendler, 16-1. Oregon State now led Cal Poly 12-6, however a coach misconduct deducted a team point from the Beavs bringing the score to 11-6.
Bob Coleman lost by technical fall at 184 pounds. Cal Poly now found itself tied 11-11, but that was all the visitors could muster as the Beavers won the final five bouts.
In the only matchup of the night that featured two ranked wrestlers, No. 15 197-pounder Corey Griego came out on top of No. 23 Tom Lane. Griego led only 2-0 after the first period, but had already amassed over 2 minutes of ride time. The redshirt junior rolled on to a 13-3 major decision.
Heavyweight Amarveer Dhesi continued his unbeaten streak in dual meets. The redshirt senior won by forfeit.
No. 12 Ronnie Bresser won by major decision 16-3, bringing his bonus point wins on the season to 12-of-16 bouts. Bresser recorded five takedowns before securing four points for Oregon State.
