COLUMBIA, Mo. – The No. 10-ranked University of Missouri wrestling team toppled No. 15-ranked North Dakota State, 28-11, Tuesday, Dec. 20 inside the Hearnes Center.
The Tigers (3-2, 2-0) got off to a hot start as redshirt senior Allan Hart wasted no time recording the fall at 141 in 26 seconds. The opening dual was preceded by three-straight decisions, including an overtime loss for senior Jarrett Jacques in his much anticipated matchup against No. 6-ranked Jared Franek. Sophomore Keegan O'Toole continued his winning ways in a 15-8 decision which saw him move to 8-0 on the season. Redshirt junior Peyton Mocco took us to the break by pinning his opponent at 174.
After Colton Hawks picked up a major decision at 184, Mizzou's lead was stretched to 22-2. Although the Tigers failed to score points in the last two matches, the Elam brothers collected a pair of decisions en route to a 28-11 victory.
