Wrestling Takes Broncos In Boise
December 14, 2014 | Wrestling
BOISE, Idaho – Oregon State won its first four matches en route to a convincing 31-3 victory over Boise State Saturday night to see the Beavers win the Border War.
OSU scored bonus points in just one match – Ronnie Bresser's 15-6 win over Carson Kuhn at 125 points – but that mattered little as the Beavers claimed nine of the 10 matches, including a forfeit win for Jack Hathaway at 133 pounds.
The win marked Oregon State's second straight over the Broncos in Boise, and improved the Beavers' record to 30-17-1 all-time in the series.
Cody Crawford opened the night with a 3-0 win over Xavier Callejas at 197, then saw Nate Keeve win 5-3 over Gabriel Gonzalez at the heavyweight spot. Bresser's 15-6 win then extended OSU's lead to 10-0 before the forfeit made it 16-0.
Only Geordan Martinez's win at 141 could spoil the Beavers' shutout. Abraham Rodriguez (149) won, 3-1, while Alex Elder took 157 at 12-5. Seth Thomas was victorious, 3-1, at 165 pounds, and Joe Latham took down Austin Dewey, 6-1, at 174.
Sixth-ranked Taylor Meeks closed out the night, with the match already long decided, 3-0, over Cody Dixon.
The teams are slated to meet again Feb. 8 in Corvallis.
