STILLWATER — Saturday night was supposed to be one of celebration for the Cowboys, but instead it became the first night Oklahoma State has lost a wrestling dual to an unranked opponent since 1993.
Oklahoma State lost to Northern Iowa 19-15 on Saturday in Gallagher-Iba Arena. This was the Cowboys’ first shot at getting to win No. 500 in GIA, but that celebration will have to wait. Northern Iowa entered the dual 3-5 on the season, becoming the first unranked team to beat OSU since Illinois beat the Pokes 22-17 on Feb. 21, 1993. OSU is now 499-43-6 in GIA.
