    Missouri downs Old Dominion in opening round

    Mizzou Wrestling opened the South Beach Duals with a dominant 24-8 win over Old Dominion Sunday morning (Dec. 29). The Tigers won the dual's final seven bouts and Old Dominion was charged a team point for lack of mat control as Mizzou rallied from down 9-0 to claim the dual. The Tigers improve to 4-2 on the year with the dual win and is now 2-0 in MAC competition.

    Mizzou got off to a slow start as Old Dominion claimed the morning's first three bouts, all via decision. However, Mizzou quickly righted the ship, thanks to its second-ranked grappler at 149 pounds - sophomore and 2019 All-American Brock Mauller. Mauller earned a hard-fought, 11-6 decision over ODU's Kenan Carter to improve to 12-0 on the year.

    That bout flipped things in Mizzou's favor as No. 14 Jarrett Jacques followed that with a dominant 7-1 win over Larry Early at 157 pounds to pull the Tigers within a win of tying the bout. At 165, Peyton Mocco won a back-and-forth bout against Shane Jones, 10-6, tying the dual.

    Then, at 174 pounds, Jeremiah Kent continued his dominant stretch with a 16-0 technical fall win over Alex Cramer to give Mizzou a 14-9 dual lead heading into the final three weight classes.

    The Tigers picked up another bonus-point win, courtesy of senior 184-pounder Dylan Wisman, who tallied a 15-4 major decision over Antonio Agee. That extended Mizzou's lead and it was the fifth consecutive bout win in the dual.

    Wyatt Koelling made it six straight bout wins, taking a dramatic 3-1 win in sudden victory over Timothy Young. That extended Mizzou's lead to 21-9 heading into the final bout.

    At heavyweight, Rodrigo Diaz posted a 10-5 decision as Mizzou closed the dual winning the final seven bouts. Old Dominion was also docked a team point for lack of mat control, seeing its total drop from nine to eight as Mizzou rounded out the dual with a 24-8 win.

    Results:
    125: Dack Punke (7-6) vs. Kilian Cardinale - L, 4-3 | 0-3
    133: Cameron Valdiviez (12-5) vs. Shannon Hanna - L, 12-9 | 0-6
    141: #9 Grant Leeth (2-2) vs. Sa'Derian Perry - L, 7-3 | 0-9
    149: #2 Brock Mauller (12-0) vs. Kenan Carter - W, 11-6 | 3-9
    157: #14 Jarrett Jacques (14-1) vs. Larry Early - W, 7-1 | 6-9
    165: Peyton Mocco (9-7) vs. Shane Jones - W, 10-6 | 9-9
    174: Jeremiah Kent (14-2) vs. Alex Cramer - W, 16-0 Technical Fall | 14-9
    184: #22 Dylan Wisman (7-2) vs. Antonio Agee - W, 15-4 Major Decision | 18-9
    197: #23 Wyatt Koelling (12-1) vs. Timothy Young - W, 3-1 (SV-1) | 21-9
    HWT: Rodrigo Diaz (10-7) vs. William Hilliard - W, 10-5 | 24-8 (ODU was charged a team point for mat control)

    The Tigers will face a pair of top-25 opponents this morning in search of their sixth and seventh straight wins. Cornell defeated Michigan State and South Dakota State Sunday while Lehigh won against No. 5 Minnesota in dominating fashion, 29-10. Mizzou wrestled both teams on South Beach a year ago, downing Lehigh, 21-12, and Cornell, 22-9.

    TrackWrestling.com will have both live video and stats of the bouts, which begin at 10 a.m. with the Tigers facing Cornell.
