Oklahoma State @ Northern Iowa

Oklahoma State edged Northern Iowa 22-14 in Cedar Falls on January 24, 2025, in a dual decided by bonus-point bouts. The Cowboys collected three bonus wins while the Panthers answered with a pair of majors, and those extra points made the difference in a tight Big 12 meeting.

Oklahoma State got two major decisions from Cameron Amine at 165 (10-2) and Dean Hamiti Jr. at 174 (16-4), each worth four team points, then picked up a crucial five-point technical fall at heavyweight when Wyatt Hendrickson finished Lance Runyon 19-4. Hendrickson’s technical fall supplied a big chunk of the Cowboys’ scoring and proved decisive in separating the teams.

Northern Iowa stayed within reach thanks to two major decisions of their own. Julian Farber’s 13-4 major at 133 and Parker Keckeisen’s 15-4 major at 184 each delivered four points, keeping the Panthers competitive and preventing Oklahoma State from building a larger margin.

In the end the bonus points told the story: Oklahoma State’s three bonus victories produced 13 team points to Northern Iowa’s 8, producing the 22-14 final. The meet was defined by those high-scoring, bonus-point outcomes rather than a string of narrow decisions, and both teams can point to several individual efforts they can build on from Cedar Falls.
