SIU Edwardsville @ Oklahoma

Oklahoma Men's Wrestling beat SIU Edwardsville Men's Wrestling 23-13 at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK on December 21, 2025. The Sooners picked up the win by turning a tight dual into a clear margin through multiple bonus-point victories while SIUE's brightest moment came in a ranked upset.

SIUE's Caleb Tyus, ranked #10 at 149 pounds, handed Oklahoma a 9-0 major decision, a standout performance that kept the Cougars well within reach and accounted for four critical team points. Tyus' control and scoring display was the day's top upset and forced Oklahoma to respond with high-value results.

Oklahoma answered emphatically. Brian Soldano, listed at #11, finished his match at 184 pounds by fall, delivering six team points and swinging momentum back to the Sooners. DJ Parker added a 17-3 major decision at 197 for four more points, and Juan Mora, ranked #23 at heavyweight, closed with an 18-7 major decision that supplied another four-point bonus. Those three bonus wins supplied the bulk of Oklahoma's scoring and created the separation that decided the dual.

In the end, SIUE showed it could win high-profile bouts, but Oklahoma's concentrated bonus-point production — the pin by Soldano and the two majors from Parker and Mora — proved decisive. The 10-point final reflected Oklahoma converting opportunities into bonus points at the weights that mattered most.
