STILLWATER, Okla. – Two Panthers knocked off wrestlers in the NCAA top-25, but UNI wrestling fell to No. 5 Oklahoma State, 24-10.

Conference favorite OSU (10-2 / 6-0 Big 12) rattled off three wins before No. 13 UNI (5-4 / 2-2 Big 12) could get on the board.

All three Panthers who won matches today remain perfect in Big 12 duals.

UNI's Max Thomsen's multiple shots finally took in sudden victory, where he grabbed a takedown to seal the 3-1 decision over No. 14 Boo Lewallen at 149 pounds. Thomsen has three top-20 wins this year (including an exhibition match to start the year). He is now on a seven-match win streak.

At 165 pounds, Dan Kelly took No. 9 Chandler Rogers of OSU to sudden victory. Kelly reversed Rogers in the third period and erased his riding time. With 30 seconds left in the match, Rogers got warned for stalling. A second stall call came just as time expired, sending the match into overtime. Rogers, an All-American who is 10^th in the nation for falls, notched a takedown to win 7-5.

Taylor Lujan dominated his match at 174 pounds. He notched three takedowns to beat Hestin Lamons of OSU, 7-4. Lujan improves to 23-4 overall and 8-1 in duals.

Drew Foster was the only Panther to earn bonus points. He had four takedowns and earned his fourth major decision of the year, beating No. 24 Keegan Moore, 12-2. Foster is on a six-match win streak. He has won his last 12 of 13 matches. Foster improves to 20-4 overall, with bonus points in 11 matches. Foster has now beaten six opponents ranked in the top 25.
