Beavers Say"Later" to Sooners! - Feb. 1, 2015

The Oregon State wrestling team kept its dual winning streak going this afternoon, defeating the Oklahoma Sooners on their home mat by a score of 20-17!

It was a real team effort. Bonus points could have tipped the score the other way, but everyone's effort turned it into a victory for the Beavers!

Key among those efforts was 157 Alex Elder's upset major decision over #11 Justin DeAngelis (No relation, in case you're wondering). Great job, Alex!

Congratulations to all the match winners:

125 Ronnie Bresser III by decision

141 Devin Reynolds by decision

149 Abrahahm Rodriguez by decision - in the closing seconds of the match!

157 Alex Elder by major decision!

184 Taylor Meeks by major decision - only needed 3 more points for a tech fall

197 Cody Crawford by decision, putting the meet out of reach for Oklahoma

Next up, the Beavers return for their final home-stand of the season. (Where has the time gone?) Senior night will be Saturday, February 7 at 7 pm with the meet vs Pac-12 foe Cal Poly. Come and say thank you to all the seniors: Alex Elder, Brian Engdahl, Joe Latham, Taylor Meeks, Kurtis Ramsay, Pat Rollins and Nick Schlager. We're going to miss you guys!

The final event of the weekend will be the Border Battle with Boise State for bragging rights and the big, wooden "Border Axe". Start time for the Boise meet is 8:00 pm Sunday, February 8. We are planning on having a Social in Reser after each meet.

We need a big, boisterous crowd to help us close out the season at home for the Beavs! Hope you can be there!

Go Beavs!
