Time to catch up on the Tiger Style dual that happened over the weekend for the Mizzou Wrestling Team. In a previous article, I reviewed potential matchups for the contest. On Sunday, January 8, 2022, Brian Smith and his Tiger Style squad welcomed the UNI Panthers to Columbia. It was the first home event held inside the Hearnes Center for the 2023 year. Let’s recap.
Mizzou: 5 - UNI: 0
Opening up at the 125-weight class, the return presence of Noah Surtin continues to be on display. Going toe-to-toe for the first two minutes of the match, Surtin unleashed a flurry of points in the final minute of the first period landing a takedown and two feet to-back four-point near falls.
