CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Cowboy wrestler Boo Lewallen picked up win No. 13 on the season Saturday, defeating No. 12 Max Thomsen in Oklahoma State’s 19-15 loss to Northern Iowa inside the McLeod Center.

No. 3 Lewallen scored a nearfall, takedown and escape against the Panther to claim a 5-3 decision and knock off his fourth ranked opponent this season. The win moved the Cowboy to 9-0 in dual action.

Cowboys Dakota Geer and Travis Wittlake picked up bonus-point victories for the Pokes. Wittlake stayed perfect in dual contests with a 14-5 major decision over UNI’s Austin Yant. Wittlake racked up six takedowns in the bout and picked up a point for riding time. Geer scored 20 in his technical fall over Noah Glaser and held the redshirt freshman to only four points.

Fourth-ranked Nick Piccininni topped Jacob Schwarm for the third time in his career with a 9-6 decision.

Anthony Montalvo lost a tough match to fourth-ranked Taylor Lujan, 4-0, and Austin Harris’ efforts came up just short against No. 11 Carter Isley, 5-2.

Freshman Reece Witcraft fell to Jack Skudlarczyk, 10-5, and Wyatt Sheets lost a tough bout to Keaton Geerts, 8-6. In Joe Smith’s first dual outing, No. 5 Bryce Steiert won a 13-2 major decision.
