NORMAN – The Oklahoma wrestling team dropped its first dual match of the season to Oklahoma State 35-3 Friday night at McCasland Field House.

The No. 21 Sooners (3-1, 2-1 Big 12) were victorious at 149 pounds, but ultimately were downed by the No. 3 Cowboys (5-0, 4-0 Big 12).

"I think this is going to be a great learning opportunity for our guys," head coach Roger Kish said after the dual. "We'll be able to go back and identify some adjustments we need to make on the coaching side to get this team in better position to close the gap on some of these close matches."

No. 20 McDougald pulled off an upset of Oklahoma State's No. 13 Carter Young in ride-outs, 7-6, to put the Sooners on the board.

McDougald trailed early in the bout, taking a 2-4 deficit into the second period. The Sooner narrowed the margin by adding an escape point in the middle frame. Young earned his escape to start the final period, but a pair of stalling points awarded to McDougald sent the match to extra time. The foes went back-and-forth in sudden victory which resulted in a stalemate. In the end, the junior from Niagara Falls, N.Y., won the match with riding time advantage.

With the win, McDougald improved his record to 6-1 on the year, including a 4-0 mark in dual action.

At 125 pounds, No. 24 Antonio Lorenzo dropped a 10-1 major decision to OSU's No. 3 Troy Spratley. OU's No. 18 Cleveland Belton was pinned by No. 19 Reece Witcraft (5:43) in the 133-pound bout.

Wrestling at 141, No. 9 Mosha Schwart suffered an 8-3 decision to No. 4 Tagen Jamison.

At 157, Oklahoma's Carter Schubert was shut out by No. 12 Caleb Fish, 5-0. The Cowboys' No. 6 Cameron Amine topped No. 31 Tate Picklo by a 14-3 major decision in the 165 match, while No. 3 Dean Hamiti Jr. of OSU blanked No. 6 Gaven Sax 4-0 at 174.

At 184, OU's No. 24 DJ Parker dropped to No. 3 Dustin Plott, 19-6. No. 10 Luke Surber of OSU defeated Bradley Hill 8-2 at 197. In the heavyweight bout, No. 21 Juan Mora dropped his first match of the season to No. 3 Wyatt Hendrickson via tech fall, 19-4.

Up next, the Sooners will hit round out its homestand when they host Chattanooga, CSU Bakersfield and Southeast Community College in the Norman Duals on Saturday, Dec. 21 in McCasland Field House. The first round of bouts is scheduled for 10 a.m. CT.
