Sunday's dual began at 141 pounds and redshirt sophomore Lavion Mayes pulled off another upset for the Tigers, as he defeated Old Dominion's No. 5 Chris Mecate via 5-4 decision. Redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt earned a victory over a ranked opponent as well, defeating No. 11 Alexander Richardson by a 3-2 decision.
Next up was sophomore Joey Lavallee at 157 pounds and he produced a 7-2 decision win over T.C. Warner. After dropping the 165 pound matchup, the Tigers quickly responded with victories at 174, 184 and 197 pounds.
Redshirt senior Mikey England produced a 3-1 decision win over Austin Coburn, and was followed by the big upset from Willie Miklus over No. 2 ranked Jack Dechow. Sophomore J'den Cox ended the nice stretch for Mizzou with a 4-1 decision victory over Kevin Beazley.
Head Coach Brian Smith decided to take a forfeit at Heavyweight, and left it to redshirt senior Alan Waters and redshirt sophomore Matt Manley to clinch Mizzou's MAC opening win. The talented duo did just that as Waters earned a 5-2 decision over Brandon Jeske and Manley walked away with a 4-1 decision over Michael Hayes.
Mizzou competes next on Saturday, Nov. 29 at the Northeast Duals in Troy, N.Y. The Tigers will take on Hofsta, Nassau Community College, Oklahoma, and Purdue at the all-day event.
