STILLWATER, Okla. – Despite winning the first bout of the day, the West Virginia University wrestling team closed out the weekend with a 28-7 loss to No. 12 Oklahoma State inside Gallagher Iba Arena on Sunday.
The Mountaineers (7-3, 1-3 Big 12) jumped out to a 4-0 lead after fifth year senior Killian Cardinale, ranked No. 7 in the country at 125 pounds, opened Sunday's dual with a 14-4 major decision over Oklahoma State's Zack Blankenship. Cardinale gained a team-high six takedowns, including three in the first period alone.
OSU (8-1, 4-0 Big 12) claimed the next four matches to take a 15-4 advantage into the second half of action.
At 165 pounds, junior Peyton Hall picked up a 6-2 decision over No. 21 Wyatt Sheets to pull WVU within eight points. Hall's win marks his third victory of the season over a ranked opponent and 18th win overall.
The Cowboys went on to sweep the final four matches to secure the victory.
Looking ahead, the Mountaineers return to the WVU Coliseum for a pair of Big 12 duals against No. 4 Iowa State on Feb. 3 and No. 15 Northern Iowa on Feb. 5.
