STILLWATER, Okla. - The Oklahoma State wrestling racked up seven bonus-point victories as it rolled to a 39-3 win over Bucknell in the Cowboys' 2010 season opener Sunday in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
A pair of redshirt freshmen, 165-pounder Dallas Bailey and 184-pounder Chris Perry, both won by fall in less than one minute, as it took Bailey only 45 seconds to pin Corey Lear and Perry disposed of Joe McMullan in 55 seconds.
"Lately, I haven't been wrestling my best in some tournaments, and we talked about just getting that attitude back to dominate and try to pin everybody.” Perry said. “That's what I tried to do tonight and it ended up working out for me."
OSU 133-pounder Jordan Oliver roared out to a 14-4 lead after one period en route to a 22-4 technical fall win over Alex Pellicciotti and 125-pounder Jon Morrison, 141-pounder Luke Silver, 174-pounder Mike Benefiel and 285-pounder Blake Rosholt were all major decision winners.
Morrison and Rosholt were particularly impressive, as Morrison dominated No. 19 Derek Reber by pressing the action from the start and racking up three takedowns and 4:22 of riding time and Rosholt scored two takedowns and added two three-point nearfalls in his 13-1 beating of Conor Sweeney.
"It feels good to come out the first time I'm out there and get a win,” Rosholt said.” I just came off an injury, so I feel like I did pretty well."
“You like to see that we had four freshmen go out and two of them, Morrison and Rosholt, picked up major decisions and then Bailey and Perry picked up pins,” Smith said. “That's what really stands out, in their first dual meet and first match wrestling for our program, it's a good memory. There are definitely some areas we need to work on, our challenge and our competitiveness of our opponents with Minnesota on the road and Bedlam here in the next two weeks will pick up. We need to take it to another level as we prepare for the next two weeks. It was a good start for us, nothing I like more than bonus points. That's what people want to watch, guys out there getting after it, and that's what we did.”
Bucknell claimed victory in the premier bout of the day when No. 4 Kevin LeValley picked up a 6-2 win over No. 9 Jamal Parks. Parks scored the only takedown of the bout in the first period, but a LeValley escape, followed by a second LeValley escape to start the second period, evened the score at 2-2. Parks had a chance to regain the lead when he started the third period in the down position, but not only did he get ridden out by LeValley, but LeValley also exposed his back to score a three-point nearfall with only 13 seconds left in the bout.
The Cowboys return to action when they travel to Minneapolis to battle No. 3 Minnesota on Dec. 5.
