December 18, 2006 | Cowboy Wrestling
Scott scored six points in a wild first period against fifth-ranked Darrell Vasquez. Scott showed he was superior from the top position as he accumulated over three minutes of riding time and secured an 11-8 decision over Vasquez.
OSU improved to 4-1 on the season, while Cal Poly dropped to 0-2 on the season.
The Cowboys had a rough start to the dual as they dropped the first two matches at 197 and heavyweight. Tyler Shinn made up for it with a major decision at 125 before Scott gave the Pokes the lead in the dual with his decision.
Ethan Kyle provided an additional spark with a fall at 141. Kyle had an 8-0 lead over Blake Gaughran heading into the third period. Kyle just rolled him over and pinned him 21 seconds into the period to give OSU a 13-6 lead in the dual.
Cal Poly made it interesting with a pair of victories to cut the deficit to one at 13-12. The Cowboys were too strong as they out muscled the Mustangs in the final three weights. Johny Hendricks all but sealed the dual with a second period fall over Ernie Varela.
Brandon Mason did seal the victory with a decision over Nick Hernandez at 174. Mason scored two takedowns and went on to win 8-3. Jack Jensen followed with a victory over Yuri Kalika to provide the final margin of 25-12.
The Cowboys head to Reno, Nev., for the Reno Tournament of Champions on Wednesday. The Cowboys are looking for their fifth consecutive title at the RTOC.
