Meade scores upset over former NCAA champion, Rosholt gets career win No. 100

STILLWATER, Okla. – Fueled by an upset win from freshman Alex Meade over former NCAA champion Dustin Schlatter at 165 pounds, the No. 3 Oklahoma State wrestling team claimed an impressive 21-8 win over No. 5 Minnesota Friday at Gallagher-Iba Arena.

After spotting the Gophers (1-1 overall) a 6-0 lead through the first two bouts of the dual, the Cowboys (2-0-1 overall) went on to win seven of the next eight bouts and claim the resounding win. Sophomore 141-pounder Jamal Parks picked up his second upset victory of the week by handing 10th-ranked Gopher Mike Thorn a 4-1 defeat just three days after toppling No. 12 Zack Bailey of Oklahoma, but Meade stole the show with his 3-2 win over Schlatter.

The Cowboy freshman bagged a takedown against the three-time Minnesota All-American just over a minute into the bout in what ended up being the key point of the match. A pair of escapes from Schlatter and an escape from Meade capped the scoring.

“It’s a good win for him and strategy-wise I thought he wrestled well,” OSU coach John Smith said of Meade. “It came down to that first attempt when Schlatter tried to take him to his back and Alex reacted very well. Not only did he react but he went for the points. It’s a good win for him in his young career and I’m happy for him because he has worked hard.”

Meade said his focus going into the match was not scouting Schlatter as much as it was preparing for how he was going to attack and score.

“It’s a good win and a motivator for me,” Meade said. “It let me know that I can compete with the best and I’m going to keep learning from it.”

OSU heavyweight Jared Rosholt picked up the 100th win of his career Friday with an 8-6 sudden victory triumph over No. 10 Ben Berhow. In doing so, he became the 33rd wrestler in Oklahoma State history to eclipse the century mark, joining his brother Jake, among others.

“I didn’t even know until you guys said something because I don’t really keep track,” Rosholt said of his 100th win. “It surprised me when he came in and said that. It’s still the beginning stages of the season, so that’s kind of surprising. It’s good to know. I feel good about it. It’s a good accomplishment.”

The Cowboys break for final exams, then return to action when they travel to California to battle UC Davis on Dec. 18.

“I’m pleased that we kind of won a slugfest tonight,” Smith said. “It looked like a preseason dual to me where a lot of grabbing a hold of and hanging on happened. I think the key thing for us is that we won a lot of those matches and that made a difference in the score. We scored important takedowns.”
