23-7 on the season and 4-0 against Big 12 opponents, Wagner recorded his biggest upset of the campaign after knocking off second-ranked Matt Storniolo of Oklahoma, 10-4, Sunday afternoon. The win was Wagner's 60th career victory. Earlier in the weekend, Wagner held off Oklahoma State's Dakota Simpson with a 15-4 win by major decision.
Wagner helped the Tigers earn back-to-back victories over fourth-ranked Oklahoma State (17-16) and No. 13 Oklahoma (24-14) on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The sweep of both schools on the road was Missouri's first in wrestling history. The wins also helped the Tigers to a 3-0 record, something that hasn't been done since the 2002-03 season.
Wagner and the Tiger wrestling team will host Northern Iowa Friday, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m. (CT) in the first-ever Beauty and the Beast Dual held in the Hearnes Center. While the Missouri wrestling team challenges UNI, the 19th-ranked Missouri gymnastics team will take on SEMO simultaneously on the Hearnes Center floor. Tickets for the event are $5 for adults and $3 for students. Those students interested in joining the Pinhead Club, Missouri premiere wrestling club, are encouraged to attend early in order to sign up and receive your free t-shirt.
