BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo wrestling team dropped its first Mid-American Conference dual of the season, losing at fourth-ranked Missouri, 37-6, at the Hearnes Center on Thursday afternoon. Due to injuries and illness, head coach John Stutzman had to hold five starters out of the lineup and utilized some of his youngsters.
Justin Patrick started things off with an 11-10 sudden victory over Barlow McGhee at 125. McGhee took control of the match early with three first-period takedowns to take a 6-3 lead after the first. However, Patrick stormed back and wore out McGhee.
