Dec. 30, 2014

COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Tigers begin the new year this Thursday and Friday at the 2015 Defense Soap & Flips Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tenn. The two day event takes place at McKenzie Arena on the campus of The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Fans can follow along the action via live video at FloWrestling.org or through live online results at TrackWrestling.com and Twitter (@MizzouWrestling).

Mizzou is among 31 teams at this year's Scuffle with half of the Top-25 teams at last year's NCAA Championships also included in this year's field. The No. 5 ranked Tigers are one of 10 Top-25 ranked teams competing in Chattanooga this week.

Mizzou is joined by No. 3 Cornell, No. 4 Penn State, No. 7 Oklahoma State, No. 9 Pittsburgh, No. 11 Lehigh, No. 12 Nebraska, No. 14 Iowa State, No. 15 Michigan, No. 16 Virginia, and No. 22 North Carolina State as other top programs in attendance.

Tigers On A Historical Hot Streak

Mizzou enters Thursday and Friday's Southern Scuffle with a perfect 12-0 record. Among the latest USA Today / NWCA Division I Coaches Poll, the Tigers' 12 victories leads the way in comparison to the other top teams in the country.

The Tigers' unblemished 12-0 start to the 2014-15 campaign marks 16 consecutive dual wins dating back to last season. The 16 straight victories marks the longest dual winning streak in Tiger Style program history, surpassing the mark of 15 consecutive wins by the 1967-68 Mizzou Tigers led by head coach Hap Whitney.

Individual Mizzou Grapplers Shining As Well

A little over the halfway point of the 2014-15 season, Mizzou still possesses five individual grapplers with perfect records. Sophomore J'den Cox (14-0), redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt (15-0), redshirt sophomore Lavion Mayes (15-0), redshirt freshman Willie Miklus (15-0), and redshirt senior Alan Waters (13-0) all look to continue their torrid starts to the season this week in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Don't Forget About Us!

Not far off from the five unblemished Tigers are a group of Mizzou grapplers who have also had outstanding seasons up to this point. Redshirt senior Johnny Eblen (11-2), redshirt senior Mikey England (13-3), sophomore Joey Lavallee (11-3), and redshirt sophomore Matt Manley (10-4) all have played crucial roles into the team's outstanding start.

Waters, Mayes & Cox Win Titles At 2015 Southern Scuffle
Mizzou finishes second overall with 150 points, as seven Tigers place in Top-8
Jan. 2, 2015
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Mizzou wrestling concluded the final day of the 2015 Defense Soap & Flips Southern Scuffle with three event championships and a second place overall finish. Redshirt senior Alan Waters (125), redshirt sophomore Lavion Mayes (141) and sophomore J'den Cox (197) all racked up titles in their respective brackets, while also maintaining their perfect records to start the 2014-15 season.

Mizzou's 150.0 team points was good enough for second place, only trailing No. 4 Penn State's tournament winning 165.0 points. The impressive two-day effort by the Tigers outgained national powers such as No. 8 Oklahoma State (135.5 points), No. 12 Nebraska (116.0), No. 15 Michigan (88.5), No. 3 Cornell (79.5), No. 11 Lehigh (79.0), No. 9 Pittsburgh (72.0), No. 21 Wyoming (57.6), No. 16 Virginia (51.5), and No. 14 Iowa State (49.5).

The second greatest attendance number in Chattanooga Southern Scuffle history made their way to McKenzie Arena Friday, as 3,320 total attendees made their way through the turnstiles.

The second day of the Scuffle began with the quarterfinals rounds and two rounds of consolation matches. Waters once again began the day strong for Mizzou, by picking up a technical fall win over Sean Boyle (Chattanooga) and advancing to the semifinals.

Redshirt sophomore Zach Synon later advanced to the blood round, defeating two opponents in a row, both by decision. Mayes followed suit, winning in tie-breaker period one over Dean Heil (Oklahoma State) to advance to the 141 pound semifinals.

In the 149 pound semifinal, redshirt senior Drake Houdashelt had a back-and-forth match against No. 15 Mike Racciato (Pittsburgh), winning 11-7 to move to the title match. Redshirt senior Johnny Eblen later defeated No. 7 Tanner Weatherman (Iowa State) to advance in the 174 pound bracket.

Redshirt freshman Willie Miklus and Cox both advanced to their respective semifinals by way of major decisions, leaving the Tigers with seven wrestlers still in the running for an event championship.

Afternoon matchups brought ranked wins in the field of eight for Waters, Mayes, Houdashelt, and Cox, moving them into the finals and locking in the team's second place standing for the tournament. Also making it into placement matches were Eblen, Miklus and redshirt senior Devin Mellon.

Waters recorded the first title of the evening for Mizzou with a 3-1 decision win over No. 2 Nahshon Garrett (Cornell). Up next in the 141 pound title matchup was Mayes against No. 17 Geordan Martinez (Boise State). A close 6-4 decision in Mayes' favor gave Tiger Style their second event winner of the tournament.

Houdashelt suffered his first loss of the season in his 149 pound championship match to No. 2 Josh Kindig (Oklahoma State) via 5-3 decision. Cox responded nicely for the Tigers and got the team back in the winner's circle, as he defeated No. 5 Conner Hartmann by a 6-1 decision.
