STANFORD, Calif. - Oregon State Wrestling dropped a 25-12 dual loss to No. 21 Stanford on Sunday afternoon to finish off a weekend of competition against Pac-12 opponents.

The Beavers won four bouts but couldn't hold on to win as the Cardinal earned pins at 157 and 165 pounds to extend their lead. Lane Stigall recorded a ranked win at 149 pounds and Brandon Kaylor improved his season record to 14-5 with his victory.

Kaylor continued his hot streak with a 8-7 decision to begin the day for the Beavers as he quickly put the team ahead 3-0. The redshirt freshman tallied four takedowns including two in the final period to seal up his fifth straight victory.

Devan Turner put together an impressive performance over Stanford's Gabriel Townsell to take a 10-4 decision in sudden victory. Turner trailed 3-1 heading into the final period but notched a quick takedown and escape to tie it at 4-4 which brought overtime. An explosive start by Turner gave him four back points and another takedown to take a 10-4 decision and a 6-0 lead after two bouts.

Grant Willits dropped a 9-1 major decision to No. 3 Real Woods who used 3:50 of riding time to his advantage. Willits struggled to find a rhthym as he tallied only one escape as Stanford inched closer to the lead at 6-4.

Lane Stigall continues to improve at 149 pounds as he defeated No. 19 Requir van der Merwe with an 8-2 decision. Stigall posted a big second period with a takedown and two back points to lead 5-2 and added a riding time point for the victory as OSU surged ahead 9-4.

At 157 pounds, Logan Meek was pinned by Tyler Eischens to give Stanford its first lead of the day. The trouble continued at 165 as Aaron Olmos was also pinned which extended the Cardinal lead to 16-9.

Colt Doyle added a 9-3 victory at 184 pounds as he posted his first win in over three weeks of missing the lineup due to injury. Doyle used a fast start to his advantage with two early takedowns and a reversal to lead 6-1 heading into the final period over Nick Addison.

Doyle added a takedown and over two minutes of riding time for the win but the Beavers still trailed 22-12.

Jamarcus Grant closed the dual by dropping a 6-1 decision to David Showunmi to provide the final score of 25-12.
