OSU wrestling: Lower weights torch Lehigh, catapult Cowboys to victory

The Oklahoma State wrestling team is getting used to having leads early in duals.

The trend continued Sunday when the Cowboys defeated Lehigh 27-6 at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

The dual started at 125 pounds with Nick Piccininni facing Lehigh’s (7-9 overall, 4-2 Big 12) Luke Resnick. Piccininni did what he’s done all year. He won.

With the victory, Piccininni improved to 24-0. He’s made it a habit to start duals off with bonus-point victories. Of his 24 wins, only four haven’t been bonus-point wins.

“It’s always nice to have somebody starting you off with a win,” Coach John Smith said.
