Previously:  Seventh-ranked Oklahoma City came from behind to score a 27-19 victory over Tarleton State in the home men's wrestling opener for the seventh-ranked Stars. Hayden Wright got the Stars on the scoreboard with a 12-7 decision over Noah Clayton but after an OCU forfeit at 133, and a TSU major decision, the Stars trailed 10-3. Kaden Fetterolf and John Wiley righted the ship with Fetterolf getting a major decision and Wiley a technical fall to bring OCU to the lead, 12-10. The Texans briefly retook the lead but a forfeit win for Tate Picklo made it 18-16 for the home team. Cole Olguin pinned Laird Borbon with 12 seconds left in the match at 184 and Bryce Milster clinched the victory at 197 with an 11-7 decision over Colin Vasquez.
 
Making His Home Debut: Third-ranked Tate Picklo takes the mat for the first time on Sunday. He won by forfeit in the season opener. He likely squares off with Ethan Day, who was a junior college All-American at Carl Albert last season.
 
Scouting Ouachita Baptist: The Tigers are 2-1 in duals. After opening with a loss, OBU scored wins over Drury and Williams Baptist. Ouachita is ranked 25^th in NCAA Division II.
