NORMAN — Trailing 11-0 after the first three bouts to No. 20 Arizona State (2-2), No. 12 Oklahoma (2-0) stormed back with authority, capturing the final seven matches to take the victory, 24-11.

"We knew we were wrestling a great team today and that it had a chance to go down to the wire," head coach Jack Spates said. "We knew we were not wrestling badly and that if we would keep wrestling hard, good things would happen. That's exactly what happened."

Senior Kyle Terry posted Oklahoma's first points of the day with a 4-0 decision over Vicente Varela. Fifth-ranked Terry recorded a takedown in the first, an escape in the second and rode the Sun Devil for the entire third period to post his sixth win of the season.

Shane Vernon then chipped away at ASU's lead by outlasting Te Edwards at 157 pounds, 17-10. The Sooner senior recorded five takedowns, a near-fall and a reversal to extend his perfect season to 6-0.

The gap closed to an 11-9 ASU advantage after OU true-freshman Tyler Caldwell posted a 5-2 decision over Kyle DeBerry at 165 pounds. It was the Wichita, Kan., product's first dual appearance and win of his young career, pushing his season record to 13-3.

Oklahoma took its first lead of the afternoon, 12-11, after Jeff James extended his perfect season (6-0) by edging Eric Starks by a 4-3 final. James trailed 2-1 after the opening period but posted a takedown and an escape in the second period to overtake the Sun Devil.

A takedown and escape in the second period proved to be enough for 184-pound Erich Schmidtke, as the redshirt freshman claimed a 3-1 victory over Jake Meredith.

Senior Eric Lapotsky, ranked No. 7 nationally, needed just 47 seconds to record a pin over ASU's Anthony Pike. With the fall, Lapotsky (6-0) ensured an Oklahoma victory by putting Oklahoma on top, 21-11, entering the final bout.

The Sooners return to the mat Saturday when they host a double-dual against Oklahoma City and North Carolina State at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman. Oklahoma will wrestle OCU at 9 a.m. and the Wolfpack at 4 p.m.
