Cowboys roll over SDSU, 45-9

Posted

BROOKINGS – Fourth-ranked Oklahoma State won 9-of-10 matches, including four by fall and two by technical fall, to power past No. 22 South Dakota State, 45-9, on Saturday night at Frost Arena.

The Jacks’ lone points came when 17th-ranked Henry Pohlmeyer won by injury default at 149 pounds over OSU’s Boo Lewallen, ranked fifth in the country.

Pohlmeyer was leading 5-2 in the match before Lewallen was injured late in the first period and couldn’t continue wrestling.

At 184 pounds, Zach Carlson led Dakota Geer, 5-4 in the second period, before dropping a 12-9 decision.

 “I don’t think the score is indicative of the performances – I think we had a handful of guys out there battling,” said SDSU head coach Damion Hahn. “There’s no secret – Oklahoma State is the top program in the country and what we were looking for tonight is guys going out there and giving seven minutes of maximum effort. Some of those weights, they battled; they didn’t give themselves enough time.

“A couple of bright spots – even in the loss, Zach Carlson had opportunity after opportunity to win that match; I think he’s right there, a couple quick tweaks; he gets a little bit more healthy and he turns that match around.

“What more can you say about Henry Pohlmeyer – he continues to impress when he’s out there, unfortunately, someone got hurt. He is going to be a force to be reckoned with all year long.”

It doesn’t get any easier for the Jackrabbits as they travel to Minneapolis to face the Gophers on Sunday.
