Cowboy Wrestling Fends Off No. 6 Virginia Tech

STILLWATER – The No. 3 Oklahoma State wrestling team defeated No. 6 Virginia Tech, 19-12, on Sunday afternoon inside Cassell Coliseum. 
The Cowboys took six of 10 bouts, with No. 2 Sergio Vega collecting the lone bonus-point win of the dual. The win improves the Cowboys to 14-1, while the loss drops the Hokies to 10-3. Oklahoma State has now won 11 consecutive duals. 
In the premier matchup in the country this weekend between two unbeaten freshmen, No. 10 Jax Forrest (133) took on previously unbeaten No. 6 Aaron Seidel in a rematch of the PIAA State Championship bout from a year ago. After a pair of takedowns from Seidel in the first, Forrest rallied to pick up a takedown and four near fall points, giving himself a 9-6 lead that he would not relinquish. Forrest would go on to take a 10-9 win to improve to 9-0 in his collegiate career. The win is Forrest’s first top-10 win of his career. 
“It was a crazy match,” Forrest said. “I had to fight through some adversity with the crowd and being down early. I knew I needed a rally, and that’s what I did. Scored some points, got a takedown and some back points, and then rode him out. It was a crazy match, but it all worked out… He’s having a very good year, so I knew I had to find a way to dig deep and come out on top.”  With the Cowboys leading the dual 16-12 heading into the final bout of the afternoon, No. 7 Konner Doucet (HWT) slammed the door on a potential Virginia Tech comeback, picking up a 6-1 win. Doucet improved to 13-2 on the season and picked up his sixth ranked win. 
No. 2 Vega (141) collected the lone bonus-point win of the dual with an 11-2 major decision victory over VT’s No. 22 Tom Crook. Vega collected his eighth ranked win of the season, tied for the team lead with No. 2 Dee Lockett. Lockett (165) used an early takedown under 10 seconds into the bout to propel himself to an 8-2 victory over No. 33 Mac Church. Lockett and Vega are a combined 27-0 with 16 combined ranked wins. 
Other true freshman No. 7 Landon Robideau (157) moved to 13-1 in his young career, after his sixth ranked win of the season. Robideau defeated No. 16 Ethen Miller, 3-2, for his sixth-straight win. 
Tied 1-1 late in the third period, No. 7 Alex Facundo (174) picked up the winning takedown … more at … https://okstate.com/news/2026/2/15/cowboy-wrestling-fends-off-no-6-virginia-tech
