Mayes becomes the 25th member of Mizzou's exclusive 100-win club. The two-time NCAA All-American now owns a career record of 100-21 and is ranked fifth all-time in career major decisions with 25.
In his first dual start since Feb. 8, 2015, redshirt sophomore 125-pounder Chase Brennan (Monett, Mo.) posted a major decision victory, 13-4, over Steven Simpson to start the dual for the Tigers. Brennan scored quickly and often, recording three takedowns in the first period and two more in the third to get the major. Redshirt sophomore 133-pounder John Erneste (Kansas City, Mo.) shined in his start against Alex Madrigal, earning a fall in the second period at 3:35. Erneste fell behind 2-0 in the match before he took Madrigal down and got his shoulders to the mat for the fall.
Mayes led 7-3 after the first period in his match against Michael Hayes after scoring multiple takedowns in the period. Another takedown in the third period gave him the match, 9-4. After taking a redshirt season last year, redshirt junior 157-pounder Joey Lavallee (Reno, Nev.) earned a major decision, 12-0, over Shane Jones in his return to the starting lineup. Redshirt sophomore 165-pounder Daniel Lewis (Blue Springs, Mo.) followed with a major decision of his own, winning 8-0 over No. 11-ranked Seldon Wright.
Wrestling in his home state, redshirt freshman 174-pounder Dylan Wisman (Winchester, Va.) posted a 12-5 win over Antonio Agee in his Tiger dual debut. Also making his dual debut, redshirt freshman heavyweight Austin Myers (Alexandria, Ky.) registered a fall over Will Hillard in the second period at 3:19. Myers scored takedowns early in the first period and again in the second before recording the pin.
