The Bears lost to the Sooners, 38-3, to move to 1-2 on the season
NORMAN, Okla. - The UNC Bears fell 38-3 against the Oklahoma Sooners on Thursday night in their first Big 12 matchup of the year.
"Tonight we were exposed by a better team," head coach Troy Nickerson said. "Eleazar did continue to do a great job dominating his competition, though. Moving forward, we know the areas we need to get better at. We have two weeks until our next competition to work, get healthy, and compete."
The Bears dropped nine of their ten matches, including decision losses at 125 pounds, 184 pounds, and 197 pounds. The remaining six losses were gave OU bonus points, with three major decisions, one technical fall, and two pins.
The only points the Northern Colorado team would put on the board came in the fifth match of the night at 157 pounds. Eleazar De Luca would pick up a 7-2 decision of Oklahoma's Brock Wingbermuehle, earning his 11th win of the season and keeping his undefeated status.
The Bears have almost two weeks off and will return to the mat on Dec. 4-5 when they travel to Las Vegas, Nevada for the 2015 Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational to close out the 2015 portion of their season schedule.
