The University of Wyoming wrestling team built an 18-3 lead over No. 16 Oklahoma on Friday, but the Sooners won the final four matches to escape with a 19-18 victory.
Branson Ashworth gave the Cowboys the 18-3 advantage with a decision at 165 pounds, but Oklahoma got decisions at 174 and 184, and a major decision at 197 to make it 18-13. The Sooners' Ross Larson then pinned UW's Brandon Tribble late in the first period for the decisive points.
