No. 5 @MizzouWrestling Breaks Attendance Record, But Falls to No. 2 OSU, 19-15Eierman earns a pin, Mauller upsets nation’s No. 5 wrestler, Lewis earns win on senior day
COLUMBIA, Mo. – In front of a program-record crowd of 4,721 at the Hearnes Center, fifth-ranked Mizzou Wrestling dropped a hard-fought, 19-15, decision against former Big 12 rival, No. 2 Oklahoma State Saturday (Feb. 16). The loss snapped Mizzou’s 35-dual winning streak, which dated back to the 2016-17 season. It feel just two duals shy of the all-time program record winning streak of 37 duals.
The historic dual began with recognizing Tiger Style seniorsJohn Ereneste, Daniel Lewis and Nick Nasenbury, each of whom have helped propel the Tigers as one of the nation’s most successful programs throughout the last four years.
After dropping the first two bouts, the Tigers found the momentum after redshirt junior Jaydin Eierman earned his 13th fall of the season, taking down No. 13 Kaid Brock and cutting the Pokes’ lead to 7-6 through three bouts. He needed just 3:48 to tally his team-leading 13th pin.
At 149 pounds, true freshman Brock Mauller continued his dominant initial campaign (25-1) by upsetting No. 5 Kaden Gfeller in a 9-4 decision, giving Mizzou a 9-7 lead, its first of the afternoon. His 25 wins rank second all-time amongst true freshman in the program, only behind Mizzou legend J’den Cox, who had 38.
Columbia native Jarrett Jacques extended Mizzou’s lead to 12-7 in the 157-pound, as he outlasted Wyatt Sheets and continued to prove his worth as a true freshman under head coach Brian Smith, earning his 22nd win of the campaign.
At 174, reigning MAC Wrestler of the Week Lewis was riding an 11-match winning streak heading into Saturday’s dual, one week removed from pinning the defending national champion Zahid Valencia at Arizona State. He comfortably found his way to a 7-0 decision over No. 6 Joe Smith, keeping Mizzou’s lead at five heading into the final three bouts.
Coming up short in the 184 and 197, the Cowboys regained a one-point lead on Mizzou heading into a top-25 heavyweight showdown between No. 16 Zach Elam and No. 2 Derek White.
A perfect culmination to a very even dual from start to finish, White and Elam went into a sudden victory period where the Pokes emerged victorious with a takedown just 31 seconds into the frame, ending Missouri’s 35 match winning streak.
Match Notes:
·Mizzou Wrestling’s last loss on Senior Day was to Oklahoma State in 2009 when the Tigers fell to the Cowboys 24-9.
