NORMAN, Okla. (AP) _ The top-ranked Oklahoma State wrestling team won three of the final four duals Sunday to beat No. 6 Oklahoma, 22-13.
The Sooners (1-1) used a major decision by 141-pounder Michael Lightner in the second match to take their only lead of the day.
But Reggie Wright beat Jared Frayer 6-1 at 149 pounds and Shane Roller won by injury default over Mark Worthy at 157 to give Oklahoma State (3-0) the lead for good, 12-4. Worthy suffered damage to a knee ligament and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
``I thought the turning point in the meet was at 149 and 157 pounds,'' OU coach Jack Spates said. ``I thought if we could have stolen one of those, then maybe the upset would give us the momentum we needed to pull out the victory.''
The Sooners got within 12-10 by winning the next two matches. Robbie Waller improved to 10-1 with a 5-2 upset of Ty Wilcox at 165 pounds, scoring all his points in the final period, and 174-pounder Michael Barger beat Tyrone Lewis, 4-3.
But Daniel Cormier slammed the door on the Sooners with a 14-1 major decision over Josh Lambrecht at 184.
Mark Munoz used a takedown with 18 seconds remaining to break a 1-1 tie and beat Waymon May, 3-2, at 197.
After Oklahoma's Leonce Crump beat James Humi 9-4 at heavyweight, the Cowboys closed out the meet with Matt Brown's decision of Bo Maynes at 125 pounds.
