Mizzou Makes History vs. Oklahoma State
The Tigers' 16-0 start this season is the best start to a season in program history. The previous 15-0 mark was held by the 1967-68 Tiger squad under Head Coach Hap Whitney. Last Friday night's win over Oklahoma State was even sweeter for Tiger Style fans, as the team's last dual loss was at the hands of the Cowboys on Jan. 31, 2014.
Cox and Waters Maintain Perfect Records
Sophomore J'den Cox and redshirt senior Alan Waters maintained their perfect 2014-15 records with wins against the visiting Oklahoma State Cowboys last Friday night. Waters earned his sixth win against a ranked opponent after a 9-8 decision over No. 10 Eddie Klimara.
Cox upped his season record to 22-0 after taking down Oklahoma State's Luke Bean by 5-0 decision. The win also improved his NCAA leading winning streak to 42 consecutive matches.
