Wrestling Takes Down Wyoming In Non-Conference Battle
February 11, 2023 | Wrestling
CORVALLIS, Ore. – J.J. Dixon won a thrilling 12-3 major decision at heavyweight to highlight the Oregon State wrestling team's 20-10 victory over Wyoming Saturday at Gill Coliseum.
Dixon won his eighth bout of the season thanks to the major decision, which was his first of the year. He picked up a pair of four-point near falls over Terren Swartz. The first came in the second period, bringing the OSU crowd to its feet. His second came as time expired in the third, and coupled with riding time, gave him the 9-point victory.
Overall, the Beavers won seven bouts on the night, including the first five straight. Oregon State has won back-to-back matches versus the Cowboys after defeating Wyoming, 22-12, in Laramie last season.
OSU won its first five matchups for the second time this season, and first since a 45-3 win over Linfield on Nov. 13.
Oregon State got out to an early 6-0 lead thanks to back-to-back victories from Matthew Olguin and Mateo Olmos. Olguin, ranked 18th, started the night at 165 pounds with a 6-3 win over Cole Moody. Olmos, ranked 19th at 174, picked up an 8-3 victory over Hayden Lieb. Olguin has now won four straight while Olmos extended his win streak to five.
Trey Munoz pushed the Oregon State lead to 9-0 with a 6-3 decision over Quayin Short. Munoz won his 21st match of the year and the nation's No. 7 at 184 claimed his sixth consecutive bout. He is also now 10-0 in dual matches this season.
Jackson McKinney wrestled for the 11th time this season, and extended the OSU lead to 12-0 thanks to a 7-5 decision over Wyoming's Tyce Raddon at 197. McKinney is 5-1 in dual matches this season.
Dixon followed that with his major decision to up the lead to 16-0.
No. 19 Jason Shaner, after Wyoming picked up a major decision at 125, earned his 19th victory of the season with an 11-8 decision over Garrett Ricks. That win put OSU up, 19-4.
Riley Gurr effectively put the match out of Wyoming's reach with a 9-4 decision over Chase Zollman at 149. The Beavers were deducted two team points during the bout, giving OSU a 20-7 lead after the ninth matchup of the night.
Oregon State hits the road next Sunday when visiting Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. That match is set to get underway at 1 p.m.
