STILLWATER – The No. 3 Oklahoma State wrestling team routed No. 23 Arizona State, 33-6, at Gallagher-Iba Arena on Sunday afternoon. With the win, OSU improved to 4-0 overall and 3-0 in conference duals, while the Sun Devils fell to 3-2.

Just like their previous three duals, the Cowboys were dominant from start to finish as they won eight of 10 bouts, including six with bonus points, and recorded 28 takedowns to Arizona State's four. Sunday's performance also saw Oklahoma State surpass 30 team points for the fourth straight dual, its first time doing so to open a season since 2016-17. Through those four duals, OSU has claimed 33 of 40 bouts and secured bonus points 22 times for a 55% clip.

Heavyweight Wyatt Hendrickson set the tone for the afternoon against fifth-ranked Cohlton Schultz, a meeting featuring six combined All-America finishes. Hendrickson controlled the match the whole way through, scoring a takedown in the first period, riding Schultz out for the entire second and then adding eight more points in the third to win, 11-5. The win was Hendrickson's third ever against a top five opponent and his 39th straight in dual competition.

Moving down the scale to the 125-pound bout, Troy Spratley completed his monster weekend against Max Brewster. Fresh off his win against Wyoming's No. 2 Jore Volk on Friday, Spratley pinned Brewster in the second period to earn six more points for the Pokes.

In his first career match at Gallagher-Iba Arena, 133-pounder Cael Hughes thrashed Carter Dibert with three takedowns, two near falls and a reversal en route to the 18-1 technical fall. Tagen Jamison followed suit by beating Emilio Ysaguirre, 5-1, improving his record to 7-0 on the season.

Arizona State got on the board at 149 pounds as No. 15 Jesse Vasquez narrowly downed Carter Young, 9-7, but Cutter Sheets immediately rebounded for a convincing 18-5 major decision over Austin Scott. Sheets dropped a tight match to No. 22 Jared Hill of Wyoming on Friday but had no issue securing his first career dual victory this time around.

Dean Hamiti Jr. and Dustin Plott added major decisions at 174 and 184 pounds, respectively, to further extend OSU's lead. Hamiti has earned bonus points in all four of his matches this season, while Plott also remained undefeated with his third bonus performance in four tries.

At 197 pounds, Luke Surber closed out the afternoon in style as he flew past Max Acciardi by way of a 17-4 major decision. Surber was relentless as he also improved to 4-0, racking up five takedowns without surrendering an offensive point.

Oklahoma State's next dual is scheduled for December 13 at Oklahoma but will first take on wrestling's toughest regular season tournament, the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, on December 6-7. The event will be available for streaming on FloWrestling.org.
