After falling behind 11-3, the Pokes won three consecutive matches in the middle weights, and four of the final six bouts.
“That was heartbreaking,” said Head Coach Mark Branch. “We had some guys step-up and get us back into the duals against a very good team, but we needed to make one or two things happen and we didn’t.”
Wyoming is now 2-1 in Big 12 dual (4-7 overall) while the Jackrabbits improved to 3-0 in the Big 12 and 6-3 overall.
