Mizzou Wrestling got its third consecutive win and first top 25 victory of the season Sunday in a 22-16 nailbiter over West Virginia.
The dual came down to the final match, where Jarrett Stoner was down and seemingly turning the tide before Michael Wolfgram was injured and unable to continue. The injury default gave Tiger Style six points and the victory, not how the team hoped to secure the win but a victory nonetheless.
Let’s break down the action:

125lbs: NR Jett Strickenberger (WVU) over #32 Gage Walker (MIZ), 7-6 Decision
Strickenberger took initiative early on, taking three separate shots which came close to takedowns, but he couldn’t finish them as Walker displayed some nice defensive scrambling.
