LAST TIME OUT

In a Bedlam clash for the ages, Oklahoma (2-2) fell short to No. 12 Oklahoma State, 21-15, after the Cowboys made a late run. The Sooners won four of the first five bouts, including a then-No. 16 Joey Prata win over then-No. 8 Trevor Mastrogiovanni 3-2 in the second bout of the day.

SCOUTING THE COMPETITION

OU will make its first appearance ever in the Bobby Kaufman Memorial Open with No. 4 Michigan, No. 9 Ohio State, and others occupying the field of competition.

A ROSSELLI HOMECOMING

This weekend marks a return home for Oklahoma head coach Lou Rosselli, who was a two-time All-American at Edinboro between 1989-1993. Rosselli is a member of the Edinboro Hall of Fame and coached the Fighting Scots for 11 seasons, three years as a volunteer and eight years as an assistant.
