Missouri downs Old Dominion in opening round
Mizzou Wrestling opened the South Beach Duals with a dominant 24-8 win over Old Dominion Sunday morning (Dec. 29). The Tigers won the dual's final seven bouts and Old Dominion was charged a team point for lack of mat control as Mizzou rallied from down 9-0 to claim the dual. The Tigers improve to 4-2 on the year with the dual win and is now 2-0 in MAC competition.
Mizzou got off to a slow start as Old Dominion claimed the morning's first three bouts, all via decision. However, Mizzou quickly righted the ship, thanks to its second-ranked grappler at 149 pounds - sophomore and 2019 All-American Brock Mauller. Mauller earned a hard-fought, 11-6 decision over ODU's Kenan Carter to improve to 12-0 on the year.
That bout flipped things in Mizzou's favor as No. 14 Jarrett Jacques followed that with a dominant 7-1 win over Larry Early at 157 pounds to pull the Tigers within a win of tying the bout. At 165, Peyton Mocco won a back-and-forth bout against Shane Jones, 10-6, tying the dual.
Then, at 174 pounds, Jeremiah Kent continued his dominant stretch with a 16-0 technical fall win over Alex Cramer to give Mizzou a 14-9 dual lead heading into the final three weight classes.
The Tigers picked up another bonus-point win, courtesy of senior 184-pounder Dylan Wisman, who tallied a 15-4 major decision over Antonio Agee. That extended Mizzou's lead and it was the fifth consecutive bout win in the dual.
Wyatt Koelling made it six straight bout wins, taking a dramatic 3-1 win in sudden victory over Timothy Young. That extended Mizzou's lead to 21-9 heading into the final bout.
At heavyweight, Rodrigo Diaz posted a 10-5 decision as Mizzou closed the dual winning the final seven bouts. Old Dominion was also docked a team point for lack of mat control, seeing its total drop from nine to eight as Mizzou rounded out the dual with a 24-8 win.
