NORMAN, Okla. -- The No. 4 Oklahoma wrestling team grappled to a 18-18 tie with No. 6 ranked Lehigh Saturday night inside the Howard McCasland Field House.
“We're obviously not happy with a tie and we knew coming in we were going to be handicapped with three starters out with injuries,” said head coach Jack Spates. “The bottom line is I'm not real pleased with our performance tonight but I am pleased with the way we battled back.”
The Sooners were led by All-Americans Teyon Ware, Sam Hazewinkel and Joel Flaggert who all recorded major decisions on the night. Ware defeated No. 3 Cory Cooperman 13-2 in the 141-pound match. Hazewinkel defeated Matt Fisk 18-6 and Flaggert defeated Paul Weibel 14-5.
Oklahoma also registered wins by Justin Dyer at 184-pounds against David Helfrich, 3-1, and Jake Hager, defeated Tom Curl 5-2 in the evenings heavyweight match.
“Tonight was a tough match but I came out ready and prepared but now I have to move on and start to think about next week,” said Teyon Ware. “Everything is going to have to go perfect next week (against Oklahoma State), all of the guys that are favored are going to need to win their matches by a major decision but we're really looking forward to the challenge.”
On Friday, Dec. 9, the Sooners will travel to Stillwater to take on No. 1 Oklahoma State in the first Bedlam match of the season at 7 p.m. inside Gallager-Iba Arena.
