The Missouri Tigers made history yesterday. The No. 3 wrestling team came out on top and won their first dual competition as they took on the Arizona State Sun Devils. The Tigers won 8 out of 10 matches in the dual. This also got them their much-needed revenge against the Sun Devils after last year’s embarrassment to the No. 21 wrestling team.

This was the Tiger’s first home game of the season and things couldn’t have turned up better for the Missouri wrestling team. The Tiger Style Alumni Dual saw the Missouri team pick up a 39-6 victory over the Sun Devils. This is the largest-ever win in the school’s wrestling program history. With the Tigers slated to face off against Oklahoma on December 1st, this massive win will surely see them soar with confidence.

Missouri Tigers register their largest-ever victory

Missouri went off with a flying start from the get-go as Noah Surtin pinned Arizona’s Damien Moreno in the first stretch of the match in the 125lb category. Beating Moreno in 1:38 gave the Tigers a massive kickstart and they didn’t loosen the grip throughout the entire dual. In the second match, the Sun Devils’ Julian Chelbove wriggled out a 6-4 decision win over the Tigers’ Zeke Seltzer in 133lb. The official NCAA account posted snippets of the Tigers’ spectacular performance on X, formerly Twitter.

In the 141lb division, Josh Edmund marked his return with a massive 14-3 decision win over his opponent. Arizona State got their second and last win of the night as Kyle Parco got an 8-2 decision win. Ahead of the intermission, Brock Mauller managed a massive 21-5 win by tech fall and the Tigers were leading Arizona State 15-6.
