    Missouri tallies two MAC wins Saturday at Hearnes

    COLUMBIA, Mo. -- No. 6 Mizzou Wrestling (9-0, 3-0 MAC) remained perfect overall and in Mid-American Conference duals with a 46-0 shutout win over Ohio, followed by a 24-12 victory over Northern Illinois on Saturday inside the Hearnes Center.

    Mizzou's victory over Ohio marked its first shutout triumph of the season. The Tigers' 46-point margin of victory was their largest since a 48-0 win over SIU-Edwardsville two seasons ago (Dec. 9, 2018).

    The Tigers tallied eight bonus point victories between the afternoon's two duals, seven of which occurring against the Bobcats. 197-pound freshman Rocky Elam produced two falls on the day. 165-pound freshman Keegan O'Toole secured his third pin of the season, tying 184-pound redshirt sophomore Jeremiah Kent in leading the team.

    O'Toole and 174-pound redshirt sophomore Peyton Mocco both defeated ranked opponents from Northern Illinois, with O'Toole beating No. 18 Izzak Olejnik and Mocco toppling No. 31 Mason Kauffman in the second tie breaker.

    Hear From Head Coach Brian Smith

    On Saturday's pair of victories in Mid-Missouri…

    "We got after it against Ohio. We got a bunch of good wins and got bonus points, which we obviously like. Against Northern Illinois, we lost three matches and didn't get a lot of bonus point wins so that was a little frustrating. Rocky (Elam) did a good job at 197 pounds getting two pins today. He was the only wrestler against Northern Illinois to get bonus points however, so I know we can improve there as a team. They frustrated us a bit by slowing down the pace."

    Hear From 197-Pound Freshman Rocky Elam

    On tallying two wins via fall Saturday…

    "It felt good. As a team we had a dominant performance today against Ohio. Everyone looked good and felt fresh. Personally, I really wanted to go out there today and score points in the first period. That was my game plan in both matches."

    Hear From 165-Pound Freshman Keegan O'Toole

    On his two victories against the Bobcats and Huskies…

    "They both felt pretty good. The first one against Ohio went really well and I was moving my feet. I was able to attack well and picked up the fall. In the finale versus Northern Illinois, I thought I wrestled decent against a tougher kid. I need to find more ways to get to my attacks. They were really trying to lock us all down. Moving forward, I need to continue to get better every day."
