PITTSBURGH — Oklahoma State’s pair of No. 1 seeds lost revenge matches Saturday night in the NCAA wrestling finals — one in lopsided fashion and the other in a nailbiter before 18,950 fans in PPG Paints Arena.
Senior heavyweight Derek White (32-2) saw his 30-match winning streak shattered in just a few seconds midway through the second period when Penn State’s Anthony Cassar (30-1) struck for a single leg takedown.
When White tried to turn into Cassar for a switch, the Penn State senior promptly stuck the senior from Edmond North onto his back to complete a six-point burst, and that was that.
