EDMOND (Feb. 12) – Cody Rowell and Ed Jackson racked up easy bonus-point wins and No. 13-ranked Central Oklahoma received four forfeits in overpowering Newman 42-3 Friday night at Hamilton Field House.

The Bronchos won nine of the 10 matches – and five of the six actually contested – in their final dual of the season to finish 8-5.   UCO now prepares for the NCAA Division II Super Regional Two Tournament, set for Feb. 28 in Warrensburg, Mo.

Rowell had a 17-2 technical fall at 174 pounds and Jackson a 15-5 major decision at 157 to pace the Bronchos, who also got narrow wins from 141 Michael Walkup, 165 Derrick Adkins and 184 Tanner Keck.   Picking up forfeits were 125 Casy Rowell, 133 Scott Berens, 197 Jarrett Edison and heavyweight Dustin Finn.

“Once again we did some good things, but we were still too sloppy,” UCO coach David James said.   “We've just got a lot of work to do to get ready for the regional.”

Forfeits in the first two weights gave UCO a quick 12-0 lead and Walkup won the first match on the mat at 141 when he pulled out a 2-1 tiebreaker decision over Brent Fisher, scoring the winning escape with 26 seconds left.

Newman picked up its lone win at 149 as Mitch Arnold upset No. 7-ranked Colby Robinson, but it was all Bronchos after that.

Jackson posted seven takedowns in his rout and then Adkins edged Austin Workman 3-2 on a takedown with 27 seconds remaining in the 165-pound bout.   Rowell had four near-falls and three takedowns in recording his second-period technical fall before Keck pulled out a wild 12-10 win at 184 on a reverse with 24 seconds left.

The Bronchos ended the romp with back-to-back forfeits and Kenny Meredith finished the night with a 21-6 technical fall in an exhibition match at 184.
