Oklahoma State @ Nebraska

Oklahoma State defeated Nebraska 22-12 at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln on December 21, 2025. The Cowboys’ ability to capture bonus points ultimately decided the dual, turning a number of tight decisions into a clear team margin.

The decisive moments came courtesy of two bonus victories. Sergio Vega, ranked #2 for Oklahoma State, pinned #3 Brock Hardy to pick up six team points, and Troy Spratley (#8) delivered a 12-4 major decision over Nebraska’s Kael Lauridsen (#27) for four more. Those two outings combined for the 10-point swing that matched the final margin and gave Oklahoma State the cushion it needed.

Nebraska had meaningful individual results, including Antrell Taylor (#6) knocking off Landon Robideau (#2) 3-2 in a huge upset and Christopher Minto (#7) edging Alex Facundo (#6) 4-1. Oklahoma State countered in other close ranked matchups as well: LaDarion Lockett (#2) beat LJ Araujo (#13) 4-1 and Cody Merrill (#7) took a tight 2-1 decision over Camden McDanel (#15), both contributing crucial team points.

The meet ultimately came down to bonus scoring versus narrow decisions. Nebraska’s upsets and quality performances kept the dual close, but the pin and the major by Oklahoma State created a lead Nebraska could not overcome, handing the Cowboys the 22-12 road victory.
