Leading the charge for Tiger Style was redshirt senior Alan Waters who picked up a pair of technical fall victories. Between his quarterfinals and semifinals contests, Waters outscored his opponents, 34-1. Waters meets Northern Iowa's Dylan Peters tomorrow afternoon for the 125 pound MAC crown.
Redshirt freshman Willie Miklus also turned in an impressive first day, as he recorded a pin in his quarterfinals matchup and major decision in his semifinals contest. Miklus faces Old Dominion's Jack Dechow in tomorrow's title matchup.
Rounding out Mizzou's championship match qualifiers are redshirt sophomore Zach Synon, redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt, sophomore Joey Lavallee, redshirt senior Johnny Eblen, sophomore J'den Cox, and redshirt senior Devin Mellon.
Based on the NCAA qualifier allocations for the MAC, Waters, Houdashelt, Lavallee, Eblen, Miklus, Cox, and Mellon have all secured spots to the 2015 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis, Mo.
