December 09, 2018 | Wrestling
CORVALLIS – The Oregon State wrestling team opened its dual-meet season with a win inside of Gill Coliseum on Sunday night over Pacific-12 Conference opponent California State Bakersfield.
The Beavers (1-0, 1-0 Pac-12) defeated the visiting Roadrunners (3-4, 0-1 Pac-12) by a final score of 20-17 in the 37th all-time meeting between the two schools. OSU leads the all-time series 26-12-0.
Redshirt senior Ronnie Bresser (9-1) got the night started off right at 125 pounds picking up a 12-3 major decision over Eddie Flores. The No. 3-ranked 125 pounder Bresser started off with two first period takedowns en route to his 99th career victory at Oregon State, putting the Beavers on top in the team score 4-0.
The Beavers suffered a 4-1 decision loss at 133 pounds where redshirt senior Kegan Calkins (3-5) fell to No. 20 Sean Nickell. Nickell's victory brought the team score within 4-3.
Redshirt freshman Grant Willits made a big impact in his first varsity dual for the Beavers. Willits built up a 4-2 lead after the first period, and used a reversal in the second period to gain position to finish the pin in 3-minutes, 22-seconds. The Beavers led 10-3 after three weight classes.
No. 16 Russell Rohlfing picked up the second win for the visitors at 149 pounds. Rohlfing defeated Zach Evans by major decision pulling the team score within 10-7.
At 157 pounds it was No. 20 Hunter Willits who prevailed for the Beavers. Willits lead 2-0 after the first period thanks to a takedown. A four-point near fall in the second period all but sealed the win, and four team points for OSU.
Redshirt freshman 165-pounder Aaron Olmos made his varsity dual debut on Sunday picking up a tightly contested match. Olmos was behind 1-0 in the third period before an escape and takedown secured the decision win. Oregon State led 17-7 after six matches.
CSUB picked up back-to-back wins at 174 and 184 pounds. Colt Doyle dropped a major decision at 174 pounds, before Myles Terry lost by decision at 184 pounds. Oregon State led the team score 17-14 with two bouts remaining.
At 197 pounds it was Bob Coleman secured the win for the Beavers, wrestling at weight class above where the Hermiston native normally sits. Coleman started the bout off quickly with a first period takedown, and followed that up with takedowns in the second and third period winning by decision 8-3.
