NORMAN, Okla. – Oklahoma's eighth-ranked wrestling squad travels to Buffalo, N.Y., to take on the University of Buffalo Friday, Nov. 12, before going to Brockport, N.Y., in search of its 12th straight Brockport Open title Saturday, Nov. 13.
The Sooners (1-0) are coming off a 39-0 victory over Central Oklahoma in their opener.
“This is another building block in our season as we prepare for the NCAA Championship,” head coach Jack Spates said. “This is a step up from the competition we have faced to date. This is also on the road, which is going to be another test for us. I think when it is over we are going to be a step ahead in terms of knowing where we are at and knowing what we need to compete for a national championship. Our guys are really eager to get out and battle.”
The Sooners have five Sooners individually ranked to begin the season, headlined by returning All-Americans Zack Bailey, ranked No. 1 at 141 pounds, and Tyler Caldwell, No. 8 at 174 pounds. Also in the top 10 are Big 12 Champion Jarrod Patterson, slated No. 9 at 125 pounds, and No. 10 Nathan Fernandez among heavyweights. The Sooners also return starters Jeff James (184 pounds) and Erich Schmidtke (184 pounds). James wrestled at 174 pounds for the Sooners last year and was ranked as high as No. 15 preseason in the 174 pound weight class. Schmidtke, ranked No. 18, continues to man the 184 pound position for the Sooners after defeating James by a 2-1 decision in the Red/White Classic.
