ARLINGTON, Texas — One of the most historic rivalries in all of college sports was put on a unique stage, but it didn’t end well for the Cowboys.
Oklahoma State fell to Iowa 23-9 in the Bout at the Ballpark event at Globe Life Field, where the MLB’s Texas Rangers play. The Cowboys mustered an early lead, but hit a tough stretch of matches in the middle weights.
The stretch of 149, 157, 165, 174 and 184 each had matches with wrestlers within six places of each other in the national rankings. Iowa won four of those.
