    Missouri topples Central Michigan

    COLUMBIA, Mo. - No. 3 Mizzou wrestling remained on top of the Mid-American Conference standings with a 23-12 victory over Central Michigan at the Hearnes Center. The Tigers improved to 4-0 in MAC duals while the Chippewas fell to 3-1.

    Mizzou stands at 14-0 this season, and have won 18 consecutive duals dating back to the 2013-14 campaign. The Tigers' impressive start to the 2014-15 season has keyed the longest winning streak in program history.

    Saturday's first half of action were all close contests, as all five matches ended in a decision victory. After dropping the 125 pound matchup, the Tigers responded with a 3-2 decision win at 133 pounds by redshirt sophomore Zach Synon.

    The two teams once again exchanged wins at 141 and 149 pounds. Redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt improved to 22-1 this season after a 5-1 decision victory over No. 18 Colin Heffernan. Mizzou then took control of the dual winning five of the last six matchups.

    Redshirt senior Mikey England and redshirt freshman Willie Miklus both claimed victories by major decisions at 165 and 184 pounds, respectively.

    After a forfeit at 197 pounds, redshirt senior Devin Mellon ended the afternoon on a high note with a 4-1 decision triumph.

    Tiger Style wrestling returns to action tomorrow at 1 p.m. (CT) against North Carolina State. Mizzou remains at home the rest of January with four additional duals left at the Hearnes Center.
