Myers seals dual in final match with 8-3 win

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Mizzou Wrestling (6-0, 0-0 MAC) erased a 9-0 deficit after three bouts to comeback and beat Virginia (1-3, 0-0 ACC), 18-15, Sunday afternoon at the Memorial Gymnasium in Charlottesville, Va. Mizzou won five bouts in the dual, with three coming by way of major decision, as redshirt sophomore heavyweight Austin Myers (Alexandria, Ky.) finished off the comeback with an 8-3 win over Tyler Love.

The 6-0 start for the Tigers is the 11^th 6-0 start for Mizzou under head coach Brian Smith and the 15^th all-time in program history.

NOTABLE TIGERS

After a win by decision on Saturday, redshirt junior 174-pounder Daniel Lewis (Blue Springs, Mo.) returned to his bonus point ways on Sunday, as the two-time All-American defeated No. 15-ranked Will Schany by major decision, 11-2. With the win, Lewis improves to 10-0 on the season, with eight victories coming by way of bonus points (six falls, two major decisions).

Redshirt senior 157-pounder Joey Lavallee (Reno, Nev.) posted his sixth victory of the season with an 11-2 major decision over Michael Murphy. The win was Lavallee's 20^th career major decision, and he is now two major decisions away from joining the top-10 all-time in program history.

Redshirt freshman 184-pounder Canten Marriott (Exclesior Springs, Mo.) provided a huge boost for Mizzou, as his 10-2 major decision over Michael Battista gave Mizzou its first lead of the dual at 15-12 with two matches remaining.

UP NEXT

Mizzou will now return home to open its conference slate as MAC foe Old Dominion visits Columbia on Saturday, Dec. 2. The dual will begin at Noon (CT) and will be streamed on the Mizzou Network through MUTigers.com.
