GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (Jan. 16) – Central Oklahoma lost just seven individual matches in sweeping three duals at the Lone Star Duals here Saturday.

The No. 3-ranked Bronchos got back-to-back falls by Michael Walkup and Austin Standage and won eight of 10 matches in an opening-day 36-9 rout of New Mexico Highlands, received pins from brothers Casy Rowell and Cody Rowell and won seven of 10 bouts in a 31-10 triumph over Newman and then ended the day by taking eight of 10 matches in a 28-6 victory over an NWCA All-Star team.

UCO finished 23-7 in individual matches and improved to 5-4 on the year, with the NAIA dual not counting on the team record.

"It was a pretty good day for us and we made some positive strides," head coach David James said. "We won a few tough matches that could have gone either way and that's always a good sign. We just have to keep working hard and moving forward."

Casy Rowell opened the NMHU dual with a 4-0 shutout at 125 pounds and Trison Graham followed with a 13-1 major decision at 133 to give the Bronchos a 7-0 lead and that quickly ballooned to 19-0 on Walkup's fall in 3:47 at 141 and Standage's pin in 6:04 at 149.

UCO also got a first-period fall from 197 Jarrett Edison, while 184 Tanner Keck had a 19-3 technical fall, 165 Derrick Adkins a 7-0 shutout and Cody Rowell a wild 11-9 victory at 174 behind a late takedown and near-fall.

Casy Rowell had a second-period pin and brother Cody a first-period fall in the Newman rout, with the Bronchos also getting bonus points on Ed Jackson's 19-7 major decision at 157 and Edison's forfeit win.

Colby Robinson (149) prevailed 2-0 on a third-period escape and riding time point, brother Conner Robinson (165) used a riding time point to pull out an 8-7 victory and Walkup won 6-4.

Casy Rowell had the lone bonus-point win in the NAIA All-Star dual, rolling to a 9-1 major decision in the opening match, though Keegan Hulsey picked up a forfeit at heavyweight. Graham, Standage, Adkins, Cody Rowell, Keck and Edison all earned regular decisions.

UCO goes back on the road next week, traveling to Adams State on Thursday and New Mexico Highlands on Friday.
