Missouri jumped out to a 13-0 lead over the Mocs after the first three matches behind a decision from freshman Alan Waters and a pair of technical falls from sophomore Nathan McCormick and senior Todd Schavrien. Waters held a 2-0 lead over Prescott after two periods before scoring a reversal and a takedown to go with his 2:53 of riding time, carrying him to a 7-1 victory.
A big first period by McCormick guided him to his third win by technical fall this season, as he scored two three-point near falls and three takedowns to take a 12-2 lead into the second period. A pair of takedowns and an escape in the second put McCormick two points away from the technical fall, which he locked in with a takedown 10 seconds into the final period.
Three takedowns and five points near falls in the first period helped Schavrien to the team's second straight technical fall and his 10th dual win by bonus points on the year. Leading 12-2 in the third, Schavrien clinched the victory with a reversal and another near fall, ending the match with 1:15 left in the third period.
Chattanooga got back in the match with a decision and a win by fall at 149 and 157, respectively, but the Tigers rallied off four straight decisions before junior Dom Bradley's major decision at heavyweight to put things out of reach.
Redshirt freshman Zach Toal and junior Dorian Henderson won their duals by a 5-2 score, while sophomore Mike Larson picked up a 3-2 victory over his opponent. Sophomore Brent Haynes shut out Robert Prigmore, 6-0, and Bradley picked up the major with a 10-2 final.
Up 2-1 heading into the third, Toal started on bottom and escaped to extend his lead before putting it out of reach with a takedown 11 seconds later. A takedown in each of the first two periods paced Henderson's win, while Larson used an escape with just 14 seconds left in the match to edge out his opponent. Haynes controlled his entire match, taking Prigmore down in both the first and second periods and accumulating 2:16 in riding time.
Bradley's second bonus point dual victory of the year closed out the dual, as he took down Matt Lettner four times during the match. A stall warning point in Bradley's favor, along with 1:55 in riding time, added four points to the Missouri team score.
Mizzou followed that win up with a 48-0 thumping of SIU-Edwardsville, the second shutout for the Tigers this season. Missouri beat Lindenwood 41-0 to open the home portion of the schedule back on Nov. 21.
The Tigers opened things up by getting pins in the first three matches. Waters pinned his opponent in 1:36, while McCormick stuck his opponent in 1:53. Schavrien made it 18-0 Tigers with another first period fall, getting the pin 2:13.
Kyle Bradley scored a 9-3 decision for the Tigers to make it 21-0, and back-to-back major decisions at 157 and 165 increased the lead to 29-0. Sophomore Nick Gregoris earned a 10-2 win, getting four takedowns and riding strong on top for almost three minutes. Toal won his match 12-1, as he recorded a takedown and two-point near fall in the first, pacing the rest of his match.
Henderson kept things rolling with a 6-3 decision at 174, while Larson's bid for a technical fall just short, as he majored his opponent by a 16-2 score. Up 8-1 after the second, Larson escaped to start the third before scoring a takedown and a two-point near fall. After being awarded two points for a fourth stall warning on his opponent, Larson needed a takedown to claim the technical fall, but time ran out on the Tiger sophomore.
Missouri closed out the match with two more falls, getting pins by Haynes and Bradley at 197 and heavyweight. Haynes took down his opponent and picked up six points in near falls before recording the pin in 2:26, while a takedown by Bradley and strong work on top led him to sticking his opponent in 1:41.
After a week off, the Tigers will return to action on Sunday, Jan. 30 with the Big 12 opener against Nebraska. Action at the Hearnes Center gets underway at 1 p.m. CT. Stay tuned to mutigers.com for more information.
