The top-ranked Oklahoma State wrestling team jumped out to a fast start against second-ranked Penn State.
But the reigning national champions, and winners of five of the past six NCAA titles, won seven straight matches to beat the Cowboys, 27-13, on Sunday afternoon in front of a Gallagher-Iba Arena record 14,059. OSU won the first three matches before the Nittany Lions rattled off seven wins, including Bo Nickal’s 38-second pin of Nolan Boyd at 184 pounds to clinch the NWCA National Duals Championship Series.
PSU suffered more than a loss to start the dual.
No. 11 Nick Piccininni won by injury default at the 3 minute, 34 second mark over No.
