Since returning to Corvallis the Beavers (5-5, 1-1 Pac-12) have won three straight matches.
Oregon State won 9-of-10 bouts, with four of those being bonus point wins.
Redshirt junior Ronnie Bresser set the tone for the evening starting at 125 pounds. The Klamath Falls native earned two first period takedown setting himself up 4-1 after the first. Three more takedowns followed with a four-point near fall gave the No. 12-ranked wrestler his 13th bonus point win this season.
Last week's Pac-12 Wrestler of the Week Devan Turner continued his winning ways with an 8-4 decision over Trevor Williams. The redshirt freshman now stands on a three-match win streak, his longest of the season.
Wrestling in his final regular season appearance in Gill Coliseum, senior Jack Hathaway ended it the right way. Hathaway surrendered an early takedown to Chris DeLoza, but followed that up with a takedown and back points en route to his 80th career victory. The Iowa City, Iowa native ranks 41st in Oregon State history.
Junior 149-pounder Josh Reyes earned an upset over No. 22 Khristian Olivas, handing Olivas only his second loss in dual meets this season (16-2). A scoreless first period put the pressure on both wrestlers, but it was Reyes who earned a last second takedown building momentum heading to the final period of regulation and ultimately the 6-3 decision.
Hunter Willits claimed his first collegiate fall at 157 pounds. The freshman got ahead early and broke down Greg Gaxiola before earning the fall at 6:04. Willits is 16-12 as a true freshman, with only one bonus point loss this season.
The only loss that the Beavers suffered all night came at 165 pounds. Rodney Williams dropped a 6-3 decision to Isiah Hokit.
Freshman Myles Terry won his third consecutive bout in a thriller. Scoreless after two periods, Terry gave up an early escape to Dominic Kincaid in the third period who had bottom start. The St. Helens native took the lead off a throw near the edge of the mat awarding him a takedown and a four-point near fall sealing the deal, 6-3.
184-pounder Bob Coleman walked away with his first varsity dual meet win of the season. Coleman wore down the opposition early, finishing the bout with four takedowns. He won by decision 11-7.
No. 15 at 197 pounds, Corey Griego won his sixth straight match with a dominate 11-0 major decision over Josh Hokit. Griego had amassed four minutes of ride time at the conclusion of the second period. The Apple Valley, Calif. native is 8-2 in duals this season.
The final bout of the night featured two ranked wrestlers. No. 8 Amar Dhesi got the better of the two, earning his seventh straight win.
