In the 50th edition of Mizzou vs Oklahoma on the mat since 1930, the No. 17 Tigers won 23-14 over the No. 16 Sooners. The dual also marked Mizzou’s senior night as it’s the last home meet of the season. Two of its three graduating wrestlers won their matches.
The Tigers swept the 149lbs through 184lbs divisions, including two tech fall wins. Both teams came into the dual on win Streaks, but Mizzou proved to be the hotter program.
All individual rankings are according to InterMat.

No. 26 R-FR Mack Mauger (MIZ) defeated by No. 32 R-SO Conrad Hendriksen (OU) via decision 4-1 SV
The first bout of the night set a precedent for how close the rest of the dual would be. Each wrestler earned an escape point when starting on bottom position in the second and third period, leading to overtime.
Mauger went for a shot at Hendriksen’s legs in sudden victory, and the latter responded with a front headlock that got him behind for a cradle into the winning takedown with 48 seconds left in the period. The Sooners took an early 3-0 lead.
133
No. 28 SO Gage Walker (MIZ) over R-SO Carter Schmidt (OU) via decision 8-6
Walker looked like he was running away with his match going into the third period with a 7-1 lead. Schmidt started on bottom in the third and strung together four points with an escape and takedown.
The last point awarded to Walker came from an escape, and Schmidt earned his last point from a stalling penalty. The win was rough overall because Walker could’ve scored more points for Mizzou, but he gathered himself after facing some adversity. The Tigers evened things up at 3-3.
141
R-JR Easton Hilton (MIZ) defeated by No. 27 JR Tyler Wells (OU) via decision 3-2
Much like the bout at 125lbs, this was one that easily could’ve gone Mizzou’s way. Hilton got out to a 1-0 lead after escaping from bottom position in the second period, but Wells got hold of Hilton’s ankle with around 20 seconds remaining in the second and drove him back for the takedown.
Hilton didn’t allow Wells to get an escape point in the third period. However, Hilton couldn’t get any offense going, only earning his second point for having riding time. The Sooners reclaimed the lead at 6-3.
149
No. 22 R-SR Joshua Edmond (MIZ) over R-FR Hunter Hollingsworth (OU) via decision 4-2
Edmond clinched his first win since Jan. 25 with a takedown in the third period. The bout was knotted at 1-1 in the third period after each wrestler earned their escape point off bottom positioning. Edmond got the takedown after switching from a double leg to a single leg hold that got Hollingsworth on his back.
The senior night victory was hard fought by Edmond in his return. The match was once again evened up, this time at 6-6.

No. 15 R-SR Teague Travis (MIZ) over R-FR Ty Layton Schneider (OU) via major decision 15-4
In another senior night victory for the Tigers, Travis put together one of his most complete performances donning the black and gold. The CoMo native earned his win through a variety of means: takedowns, reversals and riding time.
Travis had nearly two minutes of riding time, making his bout the most dominant of the night going into the intermission. The Tigers jumped out to the biggest lead of the night at 10-6.
165
No. 26 R-JR J Conway (MIZ) over R-FR Owen Eck (OU) via decision 8-6
Oklahoma’s usual starter at 165lbs, No. 31 redshirt senior Peyten Kellar, didn’t wrestle in the match. Conway scored early takedowns in the first and third periods against Eck. The former got to a single leg to open up the match in the first to get Eck in the air and down for the takedown.
Eck responded with a takedown in the second period, which ended with Conway holding a 5-4 lead. The winning takedown came as Conway got behind Eck and corralled him as he tried to scramble away. The Tigers increased their lead to 13-6.
174
No. 9 R-JR Cam Steed (MIZ) over FR Trae Rios (OU) via tech fall 21-3
No. 8 redshirt sophomore Carter Schubert (OU) was out for the dual. Steed took care of business against the supplement, winning the bout at the end of the second period.
He made three takedowns in the first period for a 9-3 lead. The series by Steed in the second period was masterful. Three 4-point near falls in the last 90 seconds of the period sealed the bout. The Tigers jumped to an 18-6 lead.
184
No. 3 R-FR Aeoden Sinclair (MIZ) over R-SO Eli Cordy (OU) via tech fall 22-6
In the most dominant match of the night, Sinclair grabbed the tech fall just 2:13 into the first period. No. 10 senior Brian Soldano marked another Sooner starter out from the dual.
Sinclair made seven takedowns in the first and was awarded a bonus point after Cordy threw his headgear aside. The final takedown came as Sinclair grabbed Cordy’s ankle and stumbled down to the mat, trying to scramble away. The Tigers’ lead extended to 23-6 and clinched the dual win.

No. 12 R-SR Evan Bates (MIZ) defeated by No. 11 SR DJ Parker (OU) via major decision 18-4
The only senior who couldn’t clinch a going-away victory was Bates. He had a quick, yet powerful opponent in front of him with Parker and he trailed from behind early.
Parker took a 10-1 lead after the first period. He made a takedown 12 seconds into the bout and turned that into a 4-point near fall. The second period went scoreless, and Parker got back to his offense in the third period. The score stood 23-10 going into the final match.
285
No. 25 R-SO Jarrett Stoner (MIZ) defeated by No. 21 SR Juan Mora (OU) via major decision 14-4
While Stoner’s bout didn’t hold any weight in the outcome of the dual, he still struggled against a bigger opponent. Stoner is on the lighter side of heavyweights and has struggled with opponents like Mora throughout this season.
This was the second time they wrestled this season, the first coming at the Tiger Style Invite in early November. Stoner lost by an 11-5 decision in the finals against Mora in that tournament.
Mizzou hits the road for its final regular season dual against No. 4 Iowa State on Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. in Ames, Iowa. The match will be broadcast on ESPN+.
