Stencel's pin, Hildebrandt's OT victory highlight CMU effort
COLUMBIA, Mo. β Good start, good finish.
Β
In between, not enough for the Central Michigan wrestling team to pull off the upset.
Β
Fifth-ranked Missouri won seven matches, recording a pin or a technical fall in five of them, in handing the Chippewas a 32-15 Mid-American Conference dual-meet loss at the Tigers' Hearnes Center.
Β
The highlights for CMU came in the opening bout and the last. Chippewa sophomore Drew Hildebrandt posted a 4-2 overtime victory in the 125-pound match, the first of the dual, and then sophomore Matt Stencel closed the meet with a pin at 285.
Β
Stencel's pin, which came with just 22 seconds remaining in the bout, was big because it came over freshman Zach Elam, who is ranked No. 1 in the weight class in the January MAC rankings. Stencel is ranked second.
Β
Nationally, Stencel is ranked 14th this week by The Open Mat. Elam is ranked 16th. The win lifted Stencel to 17-4 on the season with 13 pins.
Β
Hildebrandt scored a 4-2 sudden-victory win over Dack Punke. The win snapped a three-match losing streak for Hildebrandt.
Β
CMU also earned six team points at 184, where Missouri forfeited to Jordan Atienza.
Β
The Chippewas, who are 2-4 overall, 1-2 MAC, are schedule to wrestle a MAC dual on Sunday (3 p.m.) at league newcomer Southern Illinois Edwardsville. The Cougars are 1-8 overall, 1-3 MAC in their first year in the league.
