STILLWATER, Okla. - The No. 4 Oklahoma State wrestling team picked up a 21-9 win over No. 20 Arizona State Friday at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The dual marked the season opener for the Cowboys (1-0 overall) and was the first defeat of the season for the Sun Devils (2-1 overall; 2-0 Pac-10).
The Cowboys were victorious at seven weight classes, with 157-pounder Neil Erisman providing the highlight with a 12-5 victory over Te Edwards. Cowboy 149-pounder Albert White added a 10-5 victory over Vicente Varela.
The overall tone of the dual was very defensive, with takedowns hard to come by on both sides. No bouts featured bonus points and national rankings held throughout the day. The Cowboys won every bout they were favored in, with the Sun Devils picking up wins at the two weight classes at which they were favored. The lone swing match of the day went Arizona State's way, with Eric Starks picking up a 5-1 win over Chris McNeil at 174 pounds.
"It was nothing I didn't expect today," OSU coach John Smith said. "We did alright at a couple of weights. Not as aggressive as I would like to see but I think that comes and you have to work in to that. Just not a lot of action from our standpoint. It looked like we were holding back a little bit and those two key matches at 125 and 141 just felt like we weren't the aggressors. To beat that quality of a wrestler, we weren't aggressive enough; it's not going to happen by falling in to it."
The Cowboys return to action when they travel to Norman on Dec. 1 for the first of two Bedlam Duals this season.
"We have a lot of work to do," Erisman said. "We've got to get off bottom and ride tougher on top. We have to get a lot better and can't be complacent with that."
