Oklahoma State Head Coach John Smith was pleased with his team's performance as they bounced back from two consecutive dual meet losses.
"I was glad to see us score points and I was glad to see the bonus points racked up," Smith said. "Just continuing to insure that we are trying to improve off those last two matches ... It was good to see some of that coming out today."
Oklahoma State now travels to Laramie, Wyo. where they will face off against the Wyoming Cowboys at 7:00 p.m. MST this evening.
