EDMOND (Feb. 4) – Falls by Austin Standage and Tanner Keck powered No. 13-ranked Central Oklahoma to a 28-19 triumph over Central Missouri Thursday night at Hamilton Field House.

Keck's pin at 184 pounds pushed a slim 18-13 lead to a 24-13 bulge and Jarrett Edison followed with a major decision at 197 to wrap up the win before the Mules scored a fall in the final match.

The Bronchos improved to 7-5 on the year and stayed perfect against UCM, upping their series advantage to 32-0.

“Austin and Tanner had two big falls for us,” UCO coach David James said. “We looked sluggish at a lot of weights and didn't wrestle very smart in some situations, but we're making progress and just need to keep moving forward.”

The Bronchos took six of the 10 weights, with 133 Trison Graham and 165 Derrick Adkins pulling out narrow decisions in addition to the bonus-point wins by Standage, Keck and Edison and a forfeit victory by 125 Casy Rowell.

Graham claimed a 5-4 win over Marcus Walker on a takedown with just two seconds left in the match as UCO jumped out to a 9-0 lead, but the Mules earned a major decision at 141 to pull within 9-4.

Standage bumped the lead to 15-4 with his fall at 149, reversing Brandon Russow midway through the second period to take a 4-3 lead before turning him over and getting the pin at the 4:36 mark.

UCM's Denis Ryzhov edged Eden Bernstein 7-6 at 157 on a takedown with four seconds left and the eighth-ranked Adkins followed with a 2-0 win at 165 on the strength of a first-period takedown.

The Mules made it 18-13 with a fall at 174 and Phil Witt took an early 2-0 lead over Keck in the next match, but the freshman reversed Witt to his back with 40 seconds left in the opening period and finished it 19 seconds later.

Edison then put the dual away, racking up five takedowns and more than four minutes riding time in a 13-1 rout.

UCO returns to action at the Missouri Valley Open Saturday and then ends the dual season next Friday, Feb. 12, by hosting Newman.
