📈 STOCK UP

🔼 The Home of Wrestling. No. 3 Oklahoma State wrestling rolled past No. 7 Iowa, 32-11, in front of a sold-out Gallagher-Iba Arena to close the regular season. The Cowboys won seven of 10 bouts, powered by Jax Forrest’s 19-3 technical fall and pins from Sergio Vega, Cody Merrill and Konner Doucet, improving to 15-1 on the year.
Next up, OSU heads to Tulsa for the Big 12 Championships on March 6-7 at the BOK Center, looking to defend last season’s conference title.

🔼 Cowgirls Cruise. No. 24/19 Oklahoma State softball rolled through the River State Classic with three run-rule wins, highlighted by Ruby Meylan’s 46-pitch no-hitter in a 10-0 victory over Colorado State. Amanda Hasler powered the offense with a grand slam and four-RBI performance against Brown, as the Cowgirls outscored opponents 58-1 on the weekend and improved to 11-4 on the season.

🔼 Cowboys Collect. On Friday, Oklahoma State evened its series at Grand Canyon with a 9-1 win behind three home runs and six shutout innings from Hudson Barrett, who struck out a career-high nine. On Saturday, the Cowboys tallied a season-high 16 hits in a 10-7 victory to take a 2-1 series lead. Kollin Ritchie, Aidan Meola, and Sebastian Norman each had three hits and combined for seven RBIs, while Kai Fyke earned his first-career win with three shutout innings and Noah Wech closed it out for the save. On Sunday, OSU clinched the series with a 13-2 run-rule win, highlighted by Meola’s grand slam and five RBIs, three more homers from the lineup, and Ethan Lund earning his first-career win on the mound.

🔼 Record-Setting Run. The No. 17 Cowgirls’ distance medley relay team clocked 10:43.10 at the Arkansas Qualifier — the second-fastest time in NCAA history — shattering the program record. On the men’s side, the 4x400-meter relay team raced to a first-place finish in 3:08.97, while freshman Nate Stadtlander placed fourth in the mile with a personal-best 4:06.24.

🔼 Road Contest. Oklahoma State dropped an 83-69 road contest at Colorado as the Buffaloes used an early surge and late 15-4 run to pull away. Parsa Fallah led the Cowboys with 14 points, while Christian Coleman and Vyctorius Miller added 11 apiece.

🔼 Cowgirls Fall on the Road. Oklahoma State dropped a 72-40 contest at No. 19 West Virginia on Saturday. Stailee Heard led the Cowgirls with 13 points as OSU moved to 21-8 overall and 10-6 in Big 12 play.

🔼 Home Court Homestand. No. 27 Oklahoma State men’s tennis swept No. 48 Memphis, 4-0, to close out its homestand and remain unbeaten at the Greenwood Tennis Center. Charlie Valentine, Nicolas Kobelt and freshman Haydar Gokpinar earned straight-set singles wins, with Gokpinar securing the clinching point for the fourth straight match as the Cowboys improved to 9-2 overall.

🔼 Narrow Defeat. No. 25 Oklahoma State women’s tennis fell in a tight 4-3 decision to No. 2 Ohio State at the Greenwood Tennis Center. The Cowgirls claimed the doubles point behind ranked wins from Anastasiya Komar/Rose Marie Nijkamp and Olivia Lincer/Luca Udvardy, while Nijkamp and Udvardy added singles victories in the setback.

🔼 Florida Focus. No. 29 Oklahoma State women’s golf heads to Jacksonville for the UNF Collegiate, a 54-hole event beginning today at Jacksonville Golf & Country Club. The Cowgirls have posted four top five finishes in six tournaments this season and enter as the highest-ranked team in the 14-team field.
