LARAMIE, Wyo. -- The 11th-ranked Wyoming wrestling team earned its sixth-straight win on Sunday afternoon, fighting off Oregon State in a thrilling, 22-16 win inside the UniWyo Sports Complex. The win marks the Pokes' third-straight win in the series with the Beavers. The Cowboys (10-3) won six of the ten bouts, including a fall from senior Branson Ashworth at 165 pounds and a major decision from Montorie Bridges at 133. Wyoming was able to win the dual outright and avoid the result being decided by criteria thanks to a win by Cowboy redshirt sophomore Jaron Jensen in the final bout of the night. "It was a nail-biter and a hard-earned win," head coach Mark Branch said. "We had some guys that got a chance to be the hero. That was good for Jaron. It's difficult being in that situation, having to carry the balance of everything that had happened previous to that. "You go back and look at how every point matters. We were trying to figure out if they tied it whether we'd win on criteria. You go back to the guys and emphasize that every point matters. Montorie picking up the major and Branson getting the pin, those were huge because who knows what happens in that last match?" The two teams traded blows for the opening four matches. Oregon State took an early, 4-0 lead in the dual after No. 18 Hunter Willits defeated Cowboy Dewey Krueger by 10-0 major decision. The Pokes took their first lead of the dual at 6-4 as Ashworth recorded a quick, first-period fall over Colton Beisley in 2:10. Ashworth has now recorded nine-straight wins with six-straight coming with bonus points. The Beavers took a 7-6 lead at 174 pounds with a Colt Doyle 4-2 decision over redshirt freshman Hayden Hastings; however, Wyoming answered right back as freshman Tate Samuelson recorded an 8-2 decision over Bob Coleman to move to 3-0 in duals for his season. The Castle Rock, Colo., native recorded a takedown in all three periods and took the riding time point to put Coleman away and allow Wyoming to take a 9-7 lead. The Cowboys led, 12-7, at the halfway point after redshirt freshman Cale Davidson took a 6-2 victory over Jamarcus Grant. Grant tallied the first takedown of the bout, but following a quick Davidson escape after the takedown and another to open the second period, the Cowboy got to the third frame tied up at two apiece with a stall warning already on Grant. Davidson put together a full-period ride in the final period to lock up riding time, paired with three more stalling calls on Grant before the final buzzer. Oregon State wouldn't roll over, getting wins from No. 4 heavyweight Amar Dhesi and No. 3 Ronnie Bresser at 125 pounds to regain a 16-12 lead with only three bouts to go in the dual. The Cowboys tied the match in the next bout, with All-American Montorie Bridges picking up a crucial major decision over Kegan Calkins. Bridges was in command of the match from wire to wire, racking up five takedowns and a minute and a half of riding time on the way to the 13-5 major. It marked the fifth major of the season for Bridges, which leads all starters. Sam Turner came up big in the 141-pound match, compiling a trio of takedowns and nearly three minutes of riding time to notch a 9-3 win over Grant Willits and give the Pokes the 19-16 advantage heading into the final bout. With one match remaining, Wyoming needed a win from 149-pounder Jaron Jensen over the Beavers' Josh Reyes to secure the outright dual victory. "You get into your own head if you sit there and put so much pressure on yourself," Jensen said. "At the end of the day it's something I've been doing since I was four, so I just needed to go out there and win." Reyes struck first with a takedown in the opening minute of the match. Jensen was able to escape within 40 seconds, and tie the match in the following period with a quick escape from the bottom position to begin the frame. Following a Reyes escape to open the third, the Cowboy needed to put a score and rideout together in order to clinch the match. After over a minute of trading shots on their feet, Jensen was able to get in on a shot and convert on a takedown on the edge of the mat with 31 seconds to go. When Reyes couldn't get out from bottom before the final buzzer, Jensen was crowned the winner in a 4-3 decision. "I walked back to the center of the mat for the final 20-second ride and everyone was pounding their feet on the stands," Jensen said. "It was awesome. It was super cool to hear it so loud in there." The Cowboys will be back in action in the UniWyo on Friday night at 7 p.m. against Big 12 foe Air Force. Results: 157: No. 18 Hunter Willits (OSU) major dec.

BROOKINGS, S.D. -- The 18th-ranked University of Pittsburgh wrestling team shutout South Dakota State Sunday afternoon at Frost Arena, 34-0. With the win, Pitt improves to 8-0 on the year, while SDSU drops to 1-5 overall. The Panthers have now avenged all non-conference losses from a year ago. Pitt fell to then-ranked No. 12 South Dakota State in 2018, 25-13, in Pittsburgh. Four Panthers contributed bonus points in the shutout, including freshman Brendon Fenton returning to the win column with a 14-0 victory at 125 pounds, while junior Demetrius Thomas picked up his ninth major decision of the year at heavyweight. Senior Robert Lee recorded the most notable win of the day, as he took out SDSU's lone ranked wrestler in No. 17 Henry Pohlmeyer at 149 pounds. "Great team win today," said head coach Keith Gavin. "Our guys competed hard up and down the lineup. It was especially good to see Rob Lee get a big win. I'm really proud of his effort today." Fenton got things going for the Panthers at 125 pounds, scoring two takedowns, eight total nearfall points, an escape and riding time to shutout Greg Coapstick. Redshirt freshman Micky Phillippi followed that with another major decision, this time 14-4. Phillippi, the fifth-ranked 133 pounder, picked up his 12th win over Rylee Molitor to give Pitt an 8-0 lead. Senior LJ Bentley collected another solid win on the weekend at 141 pounds, taking down Aric Williams in a 9-5 decision. Lee picked up his eighth win of the year and his first over a ranked opponent at 149 pounds this afternoon. After a scoreless first period with No. 17 Henry Pohlmeyer, the senior collected a point after Pohlmeyer was hit with stalling twice. Lee started the third on top and a quick escape by Pohlmeyer tied things up 1-1. Lee then scored a takedown and earned two nearfall points to take the lead 5-1. Pohlmeyer escaped, but it wouldn't be enough as Lee added a final point with riding time en route to the impressive victory. Redshirt junior Taleb Rahmani and redshirt sophomore Jake Wentzel both bounced back after suffering losses yesterday at North Dakota State. Rahmani earned a 10-5 decision over Colten Carlson at 157 pounds and Wentzel outlasted Logan Peterson 3-1 at 165 pounds, boosting Pitt's score to 20-0. Redshirt junior Gregg Harvey was one of the four that majored his SDSU opponent. At 174 pounds, Harvey cruised past Brett Bye for his seventh win of the year. Redshirt freshman Nino Bonaccorsi and redshirt junior Kellan Stout continued Pitt's winning ways at 184 and 197 pounds. No. 13 Bonaccorsi outlasted Zach Carlson, 7-6, before Stout picked up a 5-2 decision over Martin Mueller. No. 13 Thomas improved to 20-2 on the year after his major decision win at heavyweight. Thomas cruised to a 12-2 victory over Blake Wolters to complete the team shutout. Pitt resumes action Saturday, Jan. 19 when it hosts No. 3 Oklahoma State at 1 p.m. in the Fitzgerald Field House.

Alex Marinelli earned a fall at 165 pounds (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine) MINNEAPOLIS -- The fourth-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team defended the Governor's Border Belt on Sunday at Minnesota, defeating the eighth-ranked Gophers, 24-10, at a sold out Maturi Pavilion. Iowa won seven-of-10 matches, held a 17-8 edge on takedowns, and defeated three top 10 wrestlers to extend its winning streak over Minnesota to five. "We have guys that want to wrestle and we have guys that get ready to wrestle," said Iowa head coach Tom Brands. "We came into Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota ... they geared up for it, our guys get up for it. Good things happen when you get ready." The 5,238 in attendance saw Iowa win four of five matches prior to intermission. Fifth-ranked Kaleb Young led things off with a 7-1 win at 157. The match was tied 1-1 before Young threw No. 9 Steve Bleise to his back with 10 seconds left in the third. "I was hand fighting. He went to a shot, came up to a body lock, not exactly a position I want to be in, but nothing that I haven't been in before," Young said. "He came up tight, I stepped my hips out in front and let it fly." Marinelli extended Iowa's lead to 9-0, registering his fifth pin of the season. He led 8-1 before securing a fall in 5:55. "During the week Tom told me, we need bonus points. That's all I needed to know. We needed it and I got the pin," Marinelli said. "I had to get him in the middle of the mat with my pinning combinations. Terry said when I secure that and stick to the base hits first, that stuff will come." Mitch Bowman nearly kept Iowa perfect through three bouts, but he ran out of time against No. 11 Devin Skatzka at 174. Trailing 7-1, Bowman scored a reversal and three takedowns in the final two-plus minutes, and was in on a shot when time expired on an 11-9 defeat. Cash Wilcke and Jacob Warner won by decision at 184 and 197, respectively, giving Iowa a 15-3 lead at the break. Gable Steveson earned a major decision (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine) Minnesota cut the lead to 15-7 when No. 2 Gable Steveson defeated Connor Corbin, 12-3, at 285. Iowa responded with consecutive top 10 wins from Spencer Lee and Austin DeSanto at 125 and 133, respectively. Austin DeSanto topped Ethan Lizak 6-1 (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine) Lee blanked No. 6 Sean Russell, 4-0, and DeSanto finished on top of No. 6 Ethan Lizak, 6-1, at 133. The Gophers got a win at 141, where No. 6 Mitch McKee won 5-3 against No. 15 Max Murin, but Iowa finished the dual back on top at 149. Twelfth-ranked Pat Lugo used two takedowns and two sets of back points to win by major decision, 14-0, against No. 20 Tommy Thorn. "We showed some things with where we're headed. There are things in this lineup that are not going our way necessarily, but where we're headed with this team, that path that we're on, we're going in the right direction," Brands said. "We have Rutgers coming up, that's what we have to look to and then we go from there." UP NEXT The Hawkeyes host No. 24 Rutgers on Friday at 8 p.m. (CT) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Tickets are available at the UI Athletics Ticket Office at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, over the phone at 800-IA-HAWKS, and online at hawkeyesports.com/tickets.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- No. 2 Ohio State (7-0, 3-0 B1G) posted 37 unanswered team points to close out a 37-4 triumph over Michigan State (4-4, 1-2 B1G). The Buckeyes dropped Bout 1 before rattling off nine consecutive victories, including six wins accompanied by bonus points (three major decisions, two tech falls and a pin). The afternoon began at 125 pounds and Michigan State's Rayvon Foley, ranked eighth nationally, moved his season ledger to 21-1. His 19-6 major decision put four points up on the scoreboard for the Spartans. That would represent the last MSU team points of the dual. The subsequent bout (133 lbs) nearly went in favor of Michigan State, spilling over into a tiebreaker. After Luke Pletcher escaped in rapid fashion, he smothered Anthony Tutolo for the full 30 seconds to secure a 5-4 win.

He led from start to finish in a 12-4 major decision over Christian Rebottaro. Results: 125 lbs | No. 8 Rayvon Foley (MSU) def.

CLARION, Pa. -- Toby Cahill pinned Bruce Graeber 12 seconds into the third period, clinching Clarion's team victory as the Golden Eagles defeated Bloomsburg 22-15 at Marwick-Boyd Auditorium on Sunday afternoon. Clarion (4-4, 1-0 EWL) will close out their three-match homestand on Thursday when they host George Mason. The Golden Eagles entered the 285-pound match with a 16-15 advantage over the Huskies thanks to a 3-0 decision by Greg Bulsak in the previous bout. Cahill and Graeber wrestled a tight match through the first two periods, with the former holding a 2-1 advantage heading into the final period.

Bloomsburg won the first two bouts of the afternoon to take a 6-0 lead, but freshman Andrew Gapas woke the crowd and his teammates with his second straight win by fall at 141 pounds. Late in the first period, Gapas took down Aaron Coleman and worked him over for the win by fall, his second in as many matches and one that tied the team match at 6-6.

The Dragons received decision wins by No. 14 Ebed Jarrell (165), Bryan McLaughlin (174), Anthony Walters (184) and Chandler Olson (133) while No. 16 Joey Goodhart won by a major decision. Drexel led 13-6 after six bouts thanks to Goodhart's major decision. Penn came back to win the last three of four bouts but Olson's 7-2 decision at 133 proved to be enough as the Dragons held on. The conference dual started with the 157 bout and finished at 149. Sophomore Evan Barczak lost a close 7-5 in the first matchup of the afternoon to Penn's Joe Olivia. The two tangled early as Barczak was riding Olivia and working on his ankle as the first period ended scoreless. Barczak took a 3-1 lead in the second behind an escape and takedown before Olivia tied it up after three with a late takedown, 5-5. Olivia won the match, 7-5, for Penn in sudden victory with a takedown as the Quakers took a 3-0 advantage overall. No. 14 Ebed Jarrell, a junior, helped Drexel tie up the EIWA match at 3-3 with a 4-2 decision win at 165. As the two felt each other out in the first period, Jarrell was gaining a riding advantage of Penn's Evan DeLuise in the second as the bout was still 0-0 heading into the third period. Jarrell started down and earned an escape before DeLuise took the lead with a takedown. Jarrell was awarded another escape point and an addition point for a Penn penalty to go up 3-2 before the riding time point, 4-2. Redshirt freshman Bryan McLaughlin won a tight 8-7 decision at 174 pounds over Penn's Jake Hendricks to give the Dragons their first lead of the match, 6-3. McLaughlin went up 2-1 with a first period takedown. Hendricks outscored McLaughlin in the second, 4-2, as the Drexel freshman earned two escapes. McLaughlin conceded the opening escape in the third before he scored a takedown. After another conceded escape to Penn, McLaughlin went up 8-7 with his third takedown of the bout as he rode Hendricks out for the win. At 184, freshman Anthony Walters went up 2-1 in the first over Penn's Jalen Laughlin with a takedown. A big second period gave Walters an 8-3 edge behind an early reversal and two takedowns. He added a fourth takedown in the third period to go up 10-4 as he eyed a major decision, but a late Penn escape led to Walters winning the 10-5 decision. With a third win, Drexel led overall, 9-3. Junior Owen Brooks dropped his 197 bout to Penn's Greg Bensley by a 6-0 final as Drexel's lead shrunk to 9-6 at intermission. Following the loss, senior heavyweight and No. 16-ranked Joey Goodhart defeated Penn's Ben Goldin for a four-point 11-3 major decision to put Drexel up 13-6 for some breathing room. Goodhart had two takedowns in the first as he put up two minutes of riding time in the opening period. He increased his lead to 6-1 in the second behind an escape and a Penn stalling penalty. In the third, he recorded two escapes and was awarded the riding time point for his 3:20 total ton win 11-3. Drexel's Antonio Mininno lost the 125 bout as Penn crept back in as the Dragons were now up 13-9. Sophomore Chandler Olson won a crucial 133 bout to put Drexel up seven with two bouts remaining, 16-9. Olson faced Penn's Doug Zapf and he took a 2-0 lead with a late first-period takedown. Olson rode Zapf for the entirety of the second period as he kept his 2-0 edge. He went up 5-0 behind an escape and takedown before Penn recorded a takedown. Olson added a late escape and a point for his 2:04 of riding time for the win. At 141, Nick Widmann lost a heated bout which came down to the final seconds with four points awarded to Penn's Grant Aronoff in the dying moments. Widmann went up 2-0 in the first with a takedown and added a third point in the second period for a Penn stalling penalty. Up 3-1 in the third with Widmann on track to claim the riding time point, Aronoff was awarded a takedown with two back points to win the 5-4 decision. Drexel head coach Matt Azevedo challenged the call but it was upheld after video replay as Drexel led 16-12 heading into the final 149 bout. Winter transfer Parker Kropman only had to avoid a major decision, tech fall or pin from Penn's only ranked wrestler, Anthony Artalona, at No. 14 in order for Drexel to hold on to the win. Artalona was clearly looking for the big scores as he got a quick takedown. But Kropman matched him as it was tied 3-3 after the first period. Kropman started down in the second and earned the only point of the period with an escape to go up 4-3. Artalona sent the match to sudden victory with a third-period escape of his own. Artalona was able to get the overtime takedown as Kropman evaded the big loss with the 6-4 decision as Drexel held on to win the match, 16-15.

Quotes & Notes "Our kids came out of the Southern Scuffle doing exactly what we asked them to do and what we've worked on since we've gotten home from it. That's where the transition has to occur. You have to trust what we're telling you, you have to be willing to make changes and you have to get confidence and match time – movements, pressures, reactions – in order to get more confidence with it so you can become more successful in those positions." "I expect to make a good run right now. We've got some bears in the woods out there with Iowa State coming into our gym next Thursday. We travel to Minnesota. We've got Maryland coming in. We have Lock Haven and the rest of our conference teams, with George Mason and Clarion and Bloomsburg. So it's not an easy schedule by any stretch. But it's a schedule that will get us prepared for the conference tournament and the NCAA Championships. But I expect them to put the gas pedal down and drive and push and start climbing uphill." – Rider Head Coach John Hangey - Dellavecchia now has a team-leading 16 wins on the year, while Cefolo and Layton each won their 12th matches, Fluri won his 11th and Fagg-Daves now has 10 wins. - Dellavecchia is now 6-0 in dual matches, while Cefolo is 5-1. - The Broncs return to action Thursday, when they play host to Iowa State at 7 p.m. Results: 125 - Jonathan Tropea (Rider) maj. dec.

HAMPTON, Va. -- The Oklahoma wrestling team upset No. 9/9/16/16 (Flo/Trackwrestling/InterMat/NWCA) Arizona State 21-19 Saturday to take third at the Virginia Duals. On day two, OU defeated Old Dominion 27-14 in the consolation semifinal. That win set the Sooners up for a rematch with Arizona State. OU came back from an 11-point deficit, winning the last three bouts of the night to secure the victory. “I am proud of our team today. Beating the No. 16 team is a good start to where we eventually want to be,” said head coach Lou Rosselli. “Every guy gave their maximum effort and that is all I have ever asked of them.” Oklahoma 27, Old Dominion 14 Anthony Mantanona, Anthony Madrigal, Davion Jeffries and Kayne MacCallum all grabbed wins for the Sooners. Mantanona led the charge with an upset win, pinning No. 20 Seldon Wright of ODU in 1:44. The win by fall was Mantanona's third pin in his last five matches, bringing his total to four this season. He ties Dom Demas for the most pins by a Sooner this year. Anthony Madrigal (133) defeated ODU's Killian Cardinale 12-10. Madrigal held a 9-3 lead with a minute left in the third before Cardinale rallied to come within one point. Madrigal was taken down with under 20 seconds to cut his lead to 11-10, but the freshman earned a point for riding time to close out a 12-10 decision. Davion Jeffries won a thriller in the 149 bout. The senior was tied with ODU's Kevin Budock at 3-all late in the third, but Jeffries rallied, using an escape to take the lead and a takedown with 10 seconds on the clock to secure a 6-3 victory. At 184, OU's Kayne MacCallum topped Dean Drugac 8-2. MacCallum had two takedowns in the first period, nabbing his first one just 14 seconds into the match. The grad transfer used an escape and another takedown in the second to push his lead to 7-2, then earned a point for riding time. The Sooners added 12 points by virtue of forfeits by Old Dominion at 157 and 197. Oklahoma 21, Arizona State 19 The Sooners rallied in the final three bouts of the night to capture a win over Arizona State. OU trailed 20-9 going into the 184 bout, but MacCallum began the Sooners' comeback by pinning Arizona State's Jacen Petersen in 5:19 in the 184 bout. At 197, Woodley notched a 5-2 victory over Austyn Harris. After a scoreless first period, Woodley got on the board first with a takedown to start the second before Harris tied the bout at 2-all. Woodley escaped to open the third, then got a takedown to seal his win. With the Sooners trailing 20-18, heavyweight Jake Boyd took the mat against Arizona State's Brady Daniel. The bout went scoreless through one period before Boyd got on the board with an escape, then was awarded a penalty point for a 2-0 lead. Daniel got an escape in the third to trim Boyd's lead to 2-1, but the Sooner answered with a takedown to win it 4-1. Earlier in the match, Madrigal got his second win of the day at 133 against Josiah Kline. The bout was scoreless after the first period before each wrestler got an escape in the second to tie it at 1-all. Madrigal had accumulated 1:34 of riding time headed into the third period and rode Kline out to win it 2-1. No. 7 Demas (141) avenged a loss in his first match of the tournament with a 7-4 decision against the Sundevils' Cory Crooks. Demas scored back-to-back takedowns in the first before being awarded a penalty point to take a 5-2 lead into the second. After a scoreless second period, Demas got an escape in the third and added a point for riding time to take the bout. At 149, Jeffries won a thriller, downing ASU's Joshua Maruca 6-4. Jeffries trailed 4-3 late in the final period, but had earned 1:43 in riding time. Jeffries got a takedown with just seven seconds on the clock to win it.
