Sooners Travel to Cal Poly

December 07, 2006 | Wrestling

NORMAN, Okla., --  The No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners (3-1, 0-1) will travel to San Luis Obispo, Calif., to tangle with the No. 20/21 Cal Poly Mustangs (0-0) to close out the 2006 portion of their schedule.  The Sooners and Mustangs have a 6 p.m. start time at Mott Gym.

Oklahoma has won the last nine meetings in the series dating back to a tie in 1997.  OU is unbeaten in the last 15 duals, with Cal Poly's last victory coming in the 1991-92 season.  Head coach Jack Spates is 12-0-1 all-time versus the Mustangs.

This will be the first dual for Cal Poly in the young season.  The 2005-06 Pac-10 runner-up won the Fullerton Open on Nov. 18 and placed 15th at the Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas, Nev., Dec. 1-2.

OU dropped its first dual of the season last Sunday when archrival Oklahoma State traveled to Norman and defeated the Sooners 17-15 at the Howard McCasland Field House.

The Sooners will begin a streak of consecutive road appearances with the dual on Saturday.  After the trip to California OU will travel to Forth Worth, Texas for the Lone Star duals on Jan. 7, Oklahoma will travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa to compete in the NWCA National Duals.

OU returns home for the first time in the new semester when it hosts Oregon on Jan. 20.
