Additionally, eight Beavers finished in the top six places in their respective weight classes, with Garrett Drucker highlighting the group by taking third at 133 pounds.
"This was a good second day, as we expected," Oregon State head coach Jim Zalesky said. "Some guys had some good days and I am impressed with the way this team competed. We had to travel the farthest of any team in the tournament and our guys battled tough."
The Beavers finished with 132.50 total points, edging out No. 4 Michigan, which tallied 132 points. Cornell and Penn State tied for the team championship with 151.50 points apiece. Minnesota rounded out the top five with 126.50 points.

He took fifth after defeating Virginia's Jonathan Fausey via medical forefeit.
