STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State wrestlers Jordan Oliver and Clayton Foster were both comfortable winners at the NWCA All-Star Classic today, with Oliver claiming an 8-7 win over No. 1 Andrew Hochstrasser of Boise State and Foster rolling to a 7-3 win over No. 6 Sonny Yohn of Minnesota.
Oliver's match was not as close as the score would indicate, as the Cowboy sophomore took Hochstrasser down three times and scored a reversal to lead, 8-4 after two periods. Hochstrasser wiggled free for an escape to start the third period and scored a takedown with five seconds left in the bout to make the margin closer. Five of Hochstrasser's seven points came on escapes.
Foster bagged a pair of single-leg takedowns and added two escapes and riding time in his win over Yohn. He was in complete control of the match before Yohn was able to score a takedown in the third period, but the bout was already well in hand for Foster at that point.
Oliver and Foster rejoin their OSU teammates when the Cowboys open the 2010 dual match slate against Bucknell at 2 p.m. on Nov. 28 in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
