After getting a forfeit at 165 the Oklahoma State wrestling team lost its next three matches heading into heavyweight matchup that would prove to be the most crucial of the night as the Cowboys defeated Princeton 18-15 Friday night in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
At 174 and 184 the Cowboys (3-1) lost two close matches by a combined score of 10-5. At 197 No. 6 Dakota Geer lost to The Tiger’s (1-1) No. 2 Patrick Brucki, 12-6, and Princeton had all of the momentum
OSU coach John Smith said that he chose 165 specifically to put pressure on his upper weights.
