The 41 points from #TigerStyle is the highest amount this season and the most since a 43-6 win over Buffalo on Feb. 6, 2015.
The Tigers started the dual with three decisions coming from redshirt sophomore 125-pounder Barlow McGhee (Rock Island, Ill.), redshirt junior 133-pounder Zach Synon (Cary, Ill.), and redshirt junior 141-pounder Matt Manley (Perry, Okla.). Manley defeated Mike Longo, 7-5, for his 25th win of the season, a new career-high, surpassing his 2013-14 win total of 24.
At 149 pounds, redshirt junior 149-pounder Lavion Mayes (Mascoutah, Ill.) defeated Matt Zovistoski, 19-4, for his first technical fall of the season. Mayes scored numerous takedowns in the bout and added a four-point near-fall in the first period. With the win, Mayes improved to 23-0 on the season.
Next, at 157 pounds, Barnes recorded his first fall of the dual season against David Peters-Logue. Barnes quickly put Peters-Logue on his back and scored the pin at 1:43. At 165 pounds, redshirt freshman 165-pounder Daniel Lewis (Blue Springs, Mo.) flirted with a pin of his own, scoring near-falls in the first and third period. Lewis could not score the six points, but finished with a 14-7 decision win over Forrest Przybysz for his 20th win of the season.
Butler picked up the first of three consecutive falls for the Tigers at 174 pounds. At 1:34, Butler scored the fall over No. 18-ranked Nick Lee. With the win, Butler has now won his last five dual bouts, scoring bonus points in four of the matches and pins in three. Next, Miklus scored the quickest fall of the night for Mizzou at 184 pounds, pinning Taylor Jackson at 1:16. At 197 pounds, Cox scored his fall over Randall Diabe at 4:06. Cox had a double-digit lead in the second period when the pin was called. Cox has now won nine consecutive matches and stands two wins away from his 100th career win.
Cox's six points finished off scoring for Mizzou on the night, as freshman heavyweight James Romero (Albuquerque, N.M.) lost by fall to Denzel No. 6-ranked Dejournette at 2:06.
The Tigers will finish off their regular season schedule with a top-five matchup against No. 3-ranked N.C. State on Sunday. The dual will begin at 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. CT. and will be streamed on gopack.com
