Oregon State's Season Ends

157 Alex Elder celebrates his fall

 2014-15 has been a memorable season for the Beavers, but unfortunately it has come to an end.

The last three Oregon State wrestlers standing, Alex Elder, Joe Latham and Taylor Meeks, were all defeated in the consolation rounds this evening, all at that oh-so-close step. Just one more win and you would be All-American, one more loss and your tournament is over. Someone wins and someone loses, and luck and circumstance just weren't on our side this time.
