The Cowboys dropped two matches and allowed a takedown in only three of their matches.
After the 125-pound bout saw No. 8 Killian Cardinale get the best of freshman Zach Blankenship in major-decision fashion, the OSU Cowboys won four-straight bouts, not allowing a takedown in any one of them. No. 22 Wyatt Sheets would drop his match, giving up two takedowns and No. 6 Dustin Plott would give up a few takedowns in his match, but he would win with a decision. The Cowboys finished the final three matches without allowing a takedown.
Coach John Smith was displeased with the team’s effort to secure takedowns and allow them after Friday’s matchup with Northern Colorado.
