Senior 197-pounder J’den Cox, redshirt junior 157-pounder Joey Lavallee and redshirt sophomore 165-pounder Daniel Lewis all picked up decisions for No. 5 Missouri wrestling on Thursday night, but it was not enough to stop the Tigers from falling to No. 4 Ohio State, 30-9.
The loss is the first the Tigers have suffered in a dual meet in over a year. The meet was also the first in collegiate wrestling history to feature two Olympic medalists — Cox, who earned a bronze medal for the U.S. in the 86 kg weight class in the 2016 Olympic Games, and Buckeye junior heavyweight Kyle Snyder, who earned gold in the 97 kg weight class.
