Mizzou In Midst Of Historic Run

Tiger Style picked up their second road top-10 victory of the season last weekend at No. 4 Cornell. The impressive 27-9 win against the Big Red moved Mizzou to a perfect 13-0 record this season. Dating back to last season, the Tigers have accumulated 17 consecutive dual triumphs, marking the longest winning streak in program history.

Three Unbeaten Tigers Remain

Redshirt sophomore Lavion Mayes, redshirt senior Alan Waters and sophomore J'den Cox all earned victories last weekend at Cornell to maintain their unblemished records for the 2014-15 season. Mayes enters this weekend at 21-0 and ranked No. 5 in the country, Waters improved to 19-0 with a No. 1 ranking and Cox sits at 20-0 with a No. 1 ranking to his name as well.

Cox Improves Nation's Best Winning Streak

The Columbia, Mo. native's 11-0 major decision win at Cornell pushed his personal winning streak to 40 matches. Currently, that number stands as the longest winning streak in the entire NCAA. On the season, Cox has seven wins against ranked opponents with two of those coming at heavyweight.
