Mizzou's opening win against Truman State fell just short of the program's all-time largest margin of victory over an opponent. The 54-0 final against the Bulldogs was only two points behind the all-time mark of 56-0 over Shippensburg State during the 1980-81 season.
Saturday's 54 opening dual tally was the most points scored since the Tigers put 55 points on SIUE during the 2004-05 campaign.
Sophomore Matt Manley (1:23), redshirt junior Le'Roy Barnes (1:25), redshirt sophomore Blake Pepper (1:59), redshirt senior Mikey England (2:16), and redshirt freshman Willie Miklus (4:05) all earned falls in their matches against Truman State.
In the second contest of the evening, Mizzou earned wins in nine of ten matches against Missouri Baptist and once again cruised to an easy team victory. Manley (2:37), Barnes (1:51), redshirt senior Ty Prazma (3:54), and Miklus (4:04) each picked up falls in their matchups with the Bulldogs.
Redshirt sophomore Lavion Mayes also enjoyed a standout evening for the Tigers, earning a technical fall win over Truman State's Henrio Thelemaque (17-2) and a major decision victory over Missouri Baptist's Will Upson (10-1).
Redshirt senior Johnny Eblen picked up a pair of technical falls in his two outings with a 20-5 win over Truman State's Ryan Ward and an 18-1 victory over Missouri Baptist's Jeff Brock.
Mizzou wrestling competes again tomorrow at the UCM Open in Warrensburg, Mo. The Tigers' next dual marks the team's MAC opener at Old Dominion on Nov. 23.
