February 16, 2009 | Cowboy Wrestling
STILLWATER, Okla. – The No. 15 Oklahoma State wrestling team picked up two wins in Gallagher-Iba Arena Sunday, beating Binghamton, 40-6, and knocking off Wyoming, 34-6. In doing so, OSU improved to 14-7 on the year.
The Cowboys won nine of 10 bouts in both duals, racking up a total of four pins, two technical falls and four major decision victories along the way.
“Overall not the greatest two matches we've wrestled, but definitely what you're hoping for,” Coach John Smith said. “You're hoping for an escape out of the matches without somebody wrestling poorly and getting upset and I thought we did that.”
Particularly dominant for OSU were Brandon Mason, who pinned Binghamton's Ryan McGarity in 4:30 in his first match and claimed a 17-0 technical fall win over Wyoming's Alex Rieder in his second match and Clayton Foster, who scored a 15-0 technical fall win over Binghamton's Cory Waite and a 14-4 major decision win over Wyoming's Alfonso Hernandez.
“It feels pretty good. I'm kind of mad I didn't get the pin in the first match, and then in the second match I got the major (decision),” Foster said. “The guy was tough to turn but I am still mad I didn't tech or pin him too.”
Cowboy senior Newly McSpadden toppled a ranked opponent when he scored a reversal with 1:19 remaining in the third period of his bout against No. 19 Shane Onufer of Wyoming to claim a 5-4 win.
The Cowboys put a cap on the regular season when they host Oklahoma at 2 p.m. Sunday in Gallagher-Iba Arena. Seniors Obenson Blanc, Brandon Mason, Newly McSpadden and Jared Shelton will be recognized prior to the dual.
“We're right there where we can achieve greatness, we just have to go out there and take it,” Mason said. “You can't really say we're on a roll now. We need to go and continue to perform against OU and at Big 12 and then at Nationals.”
