No. 5 NC State wrestling falls short in final bout against No. 3 Oklahoma State in Naples, Italy. Huge ranked wins for No. 4 Kevin Jack over No. 3 Dean Heil and No. 8 Sean Fausz over No. 3 Nick Piccininni though.

#5 @PackWrestle and #3 @CowboyWrestling each win 5 bouts - but bonus points for Oklahoma State lead to 19-16 win for Cowboys.

Renda, Fausz (over #3), Jack (over #3), Donahue and Hidlay pick up @PackWrestle victories.

---

Wolfer - Can you explain to me how the bonus points work?

---

bonus points are awarded for pin and margin of victory
team points can be taken away for unsportsmanlike conduct

a decision, no pin is 3 team points
major decision, win individual match by 8 or more points 4 points
technical fall with no near fall points (pin) 4 points
technical fall with near fall points during match, win match by 15 points or more 5 points
disqualification, forfeit, default or pin 6 points

looking at match with Oklahoma State, GoPack has individual match score followed by team scoring by match

#3 Oklahoma State 19, #5 NC State 16
184: #3 Pete Renda (NCSU) dec. Keegan Moore; 3-0 3-0 (decision 3 points, no bonus points)
197: #4 Preston Weigel (OKST) dec. #7 Michael Macchiavello; 5-4 3-3 (decision 3 points, no bonus points)
285: #8 Derek White (OKST) major dec. Malik McDonald; 8-0 3-7 (major decision 4 points, so 1 bonus point)
125: #8 Sean Fausz (NCSU) dec. #3 Nick Piccininni; 9-5 6-7
133: #5 Kaid Brock (OKST) tech fall Tariq Wilson; 16-1 6-12 technical fall with near fall points during match, win match by 15 points or more 5 points
141: #4 Kevin Jack (NCSU) dec. #3 Dean Heil; 4-3 9-12 (decision 3 points, no bonus points)
149: #17 Beau Donahue (NCSU) dec. Boo Lewallen; 6-4 (SV1) 12-12 (decision 3 points, no bonus points)
157: #3 Hayden Hidlay (NCSU) major dec. Jonce Blaylock; 12-4 16-12 (major decision, 4 points)
165: #8 Chandler Rogers (OKST) major dec. Brian Hamann; 13-1 16-16 (major decision, 4 points)
174: #10 Jacobe Smith (OKST) dec. Daniel Bullard; 7-2 16-19 (decision 3 points, no bonus points)

Watched most of the match today. What a great heavyweight match. Didn't think we'd ever see Snyder lose a college match again.

#PackFact: Over the last 3 seasons @PackWrestle ranks 2nd nationally in dual winning percentage. Coincidentally, @HokiesWrestling is #3. What a battle for the ACC Dual title in Reynolds Friday night!!!

Penn State - 43-0 - 1.000
NC State - 50-4 - .926
Va. Tech - 48-5 - .906
