UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Oklahoma State's fourth-ranked wrestling team used wins over Rider and Pennsylvania to cruise into tonight's semifinals at 7 p.m. against Minnesota at the Bryce Jordan Center.
OSU crushed Rider 39-6 in its opening match this morning at 10 a.m. The Cowboys used falls from Jeff Ragan (125), Charles Walker (133), Reggie Wright (149) and Daniel Cormier (184) to put the Broncos away.
In Oklahoma State's quarterfinal match with Penn, Matt Brown got the start at 125 pounds and earned a major decision to get the Cowboys out to an early lead. OSU never looked back, a Cormier pin at 184 pounds and the Cowboys finished off the Quakers 29-9.
OSU will return to the mat tonight at 7 p.m. CST for a highly anticipated rematch with the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Minnesota ended the Cowboys 73-match unbeaten streak back on Jan. 9 in Stillwater.
