COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Wrestling improved to 2-2 on the year after sweeping an in-state doubleheader against Central Missouri and Missouri Valley Thursday night (Nov. 21) at the Hearnes Center. Mizzou downed UCM, 39-3, in the evening's first dual before defeating Missouri Valley, 45-0, just half an hour later.
In the first dual, Mizzou made short work of the in-state Mules of UCM. Six of the weight classes were won with bonus points while the Mules also forfeited at 197. Picking up a fall was 133-pounder Cameron Valdiviez, his fifth of the season. In fact, at the time his last five bout wins well all via pin. He won his Missouri Valley bout at 125, 7-0.
Jeremiah Kent posted a technical fall as well, winning 18-1. Cevion Severado (125), Alex Butler (141), Phyllip Deloach (157) and Luke Fortuna (165) all tallied major decision in the dual.
Against Missouri Valley, Mizzou had bonus point wins in seven of the 10 bouts, including falls at 165 from Peyton Mocco and 174 from Kent. Mizzou also picked up technical falls from Brock Mauller and Deloach.
"Saw some really good things, I saw some things we definitely have to work on. I saw some pins in that last match, but we've gone a long time without getting any bonus points or pins," head coach Brian Smith. "It's something we've been working on in the room, on our tilts, but we're just not getting to it. We're trying it. So I was pleased."
