    Missouri completes perfect road trip with 22-12 win over EMU

    YPSILANTI, Mich. -- Wrestling its third road dual in four days, No. 9 Mizzou Wrestling (8-2, 5-0 MAC) showed little signs of a rust in a 22-12 win over Eastern Michigan (5-3, 1-2 MAC) on Sunday at the Convocation Center. Four Tiger wrestlers earned major decision wins to lead Mizzou to the victory, its fifth Mid-American Conference dual win of the season and 26th straight MAC dual win overall dating back to the 2013-14 season.

    Following a close defeat at 125 pounds, redshirt sophomore 133-pounder John Erneste (Kansas City, Mo.) began the scoring on the day for Mizzou, earning a 17-4 major decision over Sa'Derian Perry. Erneste fell behind early in the first period following two takedowns from Perry, but the Tiger sophomore showed resiliency at the end of the opening frame, escaping each of the takedowns then scoring a takedown of his own and a four-point near-fall as time expired to take an 8-4 lead heading into the second period. He scored another takedown and four-point near-fall in the second, along with a takedown in the third and a riding time point for the 17-4 result.

    Redshirt freshman 141-pounder Jaydin Eierman (Columbia, Mo.) took the mat next for the Tigers, earning the second major decision of the day in an 18-8 win over Kyle Springer. Eierman scored three takedowns in the first period, one in the second and another in the third, followed by a four-point near-fall before the final buzzer to capture the major.

    Following decision wins at 149 and 157 pounds from redshirt senior 149-pounder Lavion Mayes (Mascoutah, Ill.) and redshirt junior 157-pounder Joey Lavallee (Reno, Nev.), Mizzou picked up back-to-back major decisions again at 165 and 174 pounds from redshirt sophomore 165-pounder Daniel Lewis (Blue Springs, Mo.) and redshirt freshman 174-pounder Dylan Wisman (Winchester, Va.).

    After scoring a first period technical fall on Saturday against Cornell, Lewis opened the scoring early again against Devan Marry. The Tiger sophomore scored a takedown 15 seconds into the match and added two two-point near falls and a four-point near fall to grab a 10-0 lead after the opening frame. A reversal in the third period yielded the 12-0 final score. After leading 4-0 after two periods against David Kasper, Wisman scored a reversal and a takedown in the third period, followed by a riding time point to earn the 9-1 major decision. The win finished the scoring for Mizzou in the dual, as Eastern Michigan recorded decision wins in the final three bouts.

    Mizzou will now return home for its final five regular season duals of the season, beginning with a MAC dual against No. 13 Central Michigan on Sunday, Jan. 22. Wrestling from the Hearnes Center is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. (CT) and will be streamed on ESPN3 and the WATCH ESPN app.
