The Tigers began the day with a 26-14 win over MAC opponent Kent State, and followed up with comfortable wins over South Dakota State, 31-6 and SIUE, 39-10.
Mizzou's toughest dual Friday came against the Kent State Golden Flashes. Redshirt senior Alan Water set the tone early for the Tigers, claiming a 16-0 tech. fall over Drew Dickson. Mizzou's first win over a ranked opponent came via redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt, as he dominated No. 19 Michael DePalma for a 16-0 tech. fall win.
After dropping the 165 pound matchup, redshirt senior Mikey England helped bring the momentum back to Mizzou's side with a big fall (3:51) over No. 13 Caleb Marsh. The Tigers wouldn't let go of the momentum thereafter and walked away with the 26-14 dual victory.
The final two matchups of the day against South Dakota State and SIUE were controlled early and often. Against the Jackrabbits, sophomores Joey Lavallee and J'den Cox tallied wins against ranked foes with a 4-2 decision over No. 13 Cody Pack and 7-4 decision over No. 15 Nate Rosert, respectively.
Finally, against the SIUE Cougars, Mizzou dominated with victories in six-of-eight matches. Waters, redshirt junior Le'Roy Barnes, redshirt senior Ty Prazma, and Cox all recorded pins in their respective matches.
Up next for the Tigers is a trip to Chattanooga, Tenn. from Jan. 1-2 for the 2015 Southern Scuffle. Mizzou's next dual takes place in Ithaca, N.Y. on Jan. 10 for a Top-5 showdown against No. 3 Cornell.
