--------

125 could go either way...If Alan gets another win over Garrett and Stallgado doesn't wrestle until his conference tournament, Alan should get the #1 seed at nationals if he wins out.

I don't think Manley can beat Grey. Mayes could possibly major Arujau.

Drake will have his hands full with Villalonga, but should still come out on top.

If Lavallee is not focused, he could be in trouble against Realbuto.

If England has settled in to 165 at this point, he'll give Palacio a run for his money. Eblen should have no problem.

I'd love to see Willie put it on Dean...he's certainly capable. J'Den could WBF (McIntosh pinned Bennett at the Scuffle). Mellon should have no problem.

I have a hard time seeing Intermat's logic in ranking Cornell ahead of Mizzou in their dual rankings. We'll see on Saturday.

Furthermore, with their perfect week in Chattanooga, Tenn., the three talented Tigers continued their perfect starts to the 2014-15 season.

ITHACA, N.Y. - No. 5 Mizzou wrestling tallied another impressive road victory Saturday at the Friedman Wrestling Center, as they took down No. 4 Cornell, 27-9. The comfortable dual win marked the 17th straight dual win for the Tigers dating back to last season.

Mizzou (13-0) handed the Big Red (6-1) their first loss of the 2014-15 season after producing wins in seven of the 10 matches. Three of those wins came in convincing fashion, as redshirt sophomore Lavion Mayes, redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt and sophomore J'den Cox all picked up major decisions over their opponents.

The Tigers received an edge before the dual officially started, as redshirt senior Alan Waters was awarded a forfeit victory at 125 pounds. Cornell's usual 125 pound competitor, No. 3 Nahshon Garrett, bumped up to 133 pounds for Saturday's contest.

In his third dual start of the season, redshirt sophomore Zach Synon tallied his best win of the year and defeated Garrett by 6-2 decision. The strong start continued for Mizzou at 141 and 149 pounds, as Mayes and Houdashelt tallied respective 11-1 and 10-0 major decisions.

After Cornell produced their first wins of the afternoon at 157 and 165 pounds, the Tigers responded with victories in three of the last four matches. At 174 pounds, redshirt senior Johnny Eblen cruised to a 7-0 decision. After dropping the 184 pound matchup, Cox and redshirt senior Devin Mellon closed out the dual with a 11-0 major decision and 7-3 decision, respectively.

Mizzou returns to the friendly confines of Columbia, Mo. for their next five duals. Next weekend marks a pair of matchups as Central Michigan visits the Hearnes Center on Saturday, Jan. 17 with North Carolina State following on Sunday, Jan. 18.
