NORMAN, Okla. -- The 10th-ranked Oklahoma wrestling team will host Binghamton University on Sunday, Dec. 2, at 5 p.m. inside historic McCasland Field House.

The match will air live at 5 p.m. on FS Oklahoma and Fox College Sports Pacific.

Before OU faces Binghamton, the Sooners will host Youth Sunday Night Lights Scramble- a one-time event for wrestlers who are looking to get involved in the sport, or just looking to get mat time. Registration will begin at 1 p.m. CT, with wrestling to follow from 2-3:30 p.m. CT.

The cost is $5 for all participants, and includes a ticket to Oklahoma's dual versus Binghamton.

All parents, family, friends and coaches must purchase a ticket to enter the event. Pricing is as follows: Adults ($8), Youth (6-18, $5), Senior Citizens (55+, $5) and children five and under are free. All tickets purchased include admission to Oklahoma's match.

Sunday's match will mark OU's Military Appreciation Night. Each military branch in attendance will be recognized throughout the duration of the match.

The Sooners (3-1) return to Norman after last weekend's 2012 Journeymen/ASICS Northeast Duals with wins over Hofstra and No. 9 Central Michigan, and a dropped decision to No. 8 Cornell.

All-American 149-pounder Donnie Vinson and No. 7 197-pounder Nate Schiedal hope to lead Binghamton to its first win on the season.

The Bearcats come in with a 0-5 record, but have faced three teams ranked in the top 25, including No. 6 Illinois in last weekend's Northeast Duals. Both Vinson and Schiedal scored the Bearcat's only points in the loss to Illinois. Binghamton has also dropped matches to No. 21 Lehigh, No. 8 Cornell, Army, and Rutgers.

This year's dual between the Sooners and Bearcats will be the second in as many years. Oklahoma won last year's match, the first contest between both teams, in Vestal, N.Y., 20-15. Binghamton went on to finish 14th at last year's NCAA Championship.

The Sooners bring 5 ranked wrestlers to the mat, including top ranked 141-pounder Kendric Maple. Bubby Graham comes in as another Oklahoma top-10 wrestler at No. 6 for the 165 weight class. No. 11 157-pounder Matt Lester and No. 12 133-pounder Cody Brewer also look to lift the Sooners to their fourth win of the season. The matchup to watch will be in the 149-pound bout with No. 3 Vinson from Binghamton and No. 8 Nick Lester in the Crimson and Cream.

Doors open at 4 p.m. and tickets are still available for purchase. Season tickets and single-meet tickets are now on sale online or by calling the OU Athletics Ticket Office at (405) 325-2424 or toll-free at (800) 456-GoOU.
