COLUMBIA, Mo. – Sun Devil Wrestling staged a late rally against No. 23 Missouri with three straight wins to close the dual, but a 15-point deficit was too great to erase in a 21-15 loss on Wednesday evening at the Hearnes Center.
The Sun Devils jumped out to a lead in the opening bout with yet another win from defending champion Richard Figueroa, who slid past Gage Walker in a 5-4 decision. Outside of a mid-match injury suffered at the Daktronics Invite in November that resulted in a medical forfeit loss, Figueroa has won the past 16 matches he's finished.
