In a tight dual Sunday afternoon, No. 4 Missouri prevailed over No. 14 Cornell thanks to a technical fall from junior J’den Cox.
With two matches to go in the dual, the Tigers trailed Cornell 17-10. If sophomore Willie Miklus and Cox won by two major decisions, the team would walk away with their 35th consecutive dual match. However, Miklus’ match didn’t go as planned. He won but only by a decision, making the score 17-13. Cox would need to score all the points he could in order for the Tigers to win.
And he came through, beating Cornell’s Jeramy Sweany 25-9.
