With a takedown in the first and a reversal in the second, Schavrien took a 4-0 lead into the third period.

At 149, redshirt freshman Kyle Bradley extended the Mizzou lead with a sudden victory win, edging Ross Grande by an 8-6 final.

Nebraska took their first lead of the day after getting a decision at 157 and a technical fall at 165 to jump ahead 11-10.

Junior Dorian Henderson put the Tigers back on top with a 4-2 decision at 174, as he scored a first period takedown and an escape in the second while racking up 1:45 of riding time. However, the Huskers took control of the match with back-to-back decisions at 184 and 197, extending their lead to 17-13.

Dom Bradley knocked off No. 11 Tucker Lane at heavyweight for his 20th win of the year, edging the Huskers by a 5-4 decision. Tied up 2-2 after the second period, Bradley escaped in nine seconds and then added another point when Lane was hit with his second stall warning. Lane tied it up with a takedown with 40 seconds left in the match, but Bradley worked another escape to secure the victory.
