BUFFALO — The University at Buffalo wrestling team will look to extend its dual match win streak to six on Thursday night at Alumni Arena. However, to do so, the Bulls will have to defeat 7th-ranked Missouri, the four-time defending Mid-American Conference champion.
Buffalo is coming off a 43-4 win over Sacred Heart on Sunday. The Bulls posted three straight pins in the match by Bryan Lantry (133), Jason Estevez (141) and Colt Cotten (149) to set the pace.
The Bulls, who are a perfect 3-0 at home this season, are in search of their first win over the Tigers. Missouri holds a 4-0 edge in the series.
Missouri’s lineup features seven nationally-ranked wrestlers, including four in the top ten. Leading the way is J’den Cox at 197 lbs. Cox is the top-ranked wrestler in the nation, is the two-time defending national champion and won the bronze medal at the 2016 Olympic Games.
Thursday’s match starts at 7 pm and can be seen on ESPN3.
