Corvallis, Ore. – A resurgent Oregon State wrestling team posted its biggest victory of the season by stunning No. 7 Oklahoma 22-12 on Thursday night before a vocal, season-high crowd of 1,041 at Gill Coliseum.
The Beavers (9-6, 2-2 Pac-12) got a momentum-generating pin from Jack Hathaway (133), a tie-breaking major decision from Corey Griego (184) and a last-second, match-clinching win by Cody Crawford (197) to earn their fourth win in their last five starts and their fifth triumph over a ranked opponent this winter.
“I told them you have to wrestle tough, you have to work the whole seven minutes,” OSU coach Jim Zalesky said.
