    Missouri beats Hofstra

    Hempstead, N.Y. -- Eight Tiger wrestlers won their matches in 15th-ranked Missouri’s 34-7 victory over Hofstra in Hempstead. N.Y. With the win, Missouri improves to 4-4 on the year, while the Pride fall to 5-7-2. The Tigers are now 5-0 in the all-time series with Hofstra.

    Opening the dual at heavyweight, Missouri earned a quick six team points as Dominique Bradley (Blue Springs, Mo.) accepted a win by forfeit. Bradley is now a perfect 4-0 in duals this season.

    True freshman Eric Wilson (Centennial, Colo.) collected his first career win as a member of Missouri’s 10-man lineup. Battling Jaime Fanco at 125 pounds, Wilson shut out his Pride opponent, 3-0, Missouri’s only win of the night by shutout.

    Back-to-back true freshmen made starts for Missouri. Brad Wisdom (Farmington, Mo.) who has seen time at 125 pounds for the Tigers, competed at 133 pounds, winning a major decision, 13-5, over Jeff Rotella.

    Ranked as high as 19th in the nation, Todd Schavrien (Poway, Calif.) won a 14-3 major decision against Luke Vaith. Schavrien has the second most wins by major decision of his Tiger teammates at six.

    Scott O’Donnell (Kansas City, Mo.) returned to the Tiger lineup at 149 pounds for the first time since Missouri’s Nov. 20 contest against Purdue. Winning his match against Tyler Banks, 5-2, O’Donnell helped the Tigers to a 20 point advantage over the Pride.

    Missouri’s Patrick Wright (Grand Ledge, Mich.) entered his 157 pound match with No. 19 Jonny Bonilla-Bowman with a 1-0 advantage over the Hofstra wrestler, having bested him at the 2008 Missouri Open. The two exchanged shots, but Bowman came out the winner, 21-10.

    Sixth-ranked All-American Nicholas Marable (Collierville, Tenn.) earned his eighth dual victory and improved to 26-2 on the year holding off P.J Gillespie, 7-4 at 165 pounds. Sophomore Dorian Henderson (Columbus, Ga.) added an additional five team points with his 19-2 win by technical fall over Jon Rothman. Henderson’s match ended in 5:28.

    Seventeenth ranked 197-pounder Brent Haynes (Kansas City, Mo.) closed out the dual with a win by fall. Haynes stuck Anthony Tortora in 2:38 to seal Missouri’s fourth win of the year.
