COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Mizzou wrestling coach Brian Smith earned his 350th-career win in style on Sunday afternoon, as his team absolutely thrashed Northern Colorado 42-0 to improve to 9-7 on the season and 3-2 in Big 12 action.

In total, Smith's team tallied five victory by technical fall, with the other four coming from J Conway at 165, Aeoden Sinclair at 184, Evan Bates at 197 and Jarrett Stoner at 285.
Stoner's 20-5 win by tech fall came courtesy of an impressive 20-point third period to clinch Mizzou's third-straight technical fall victory to end the dual meet.
Tolton alum Teague Travis also walked away with a landmark win, on Sunday, as his earned his first victory in Columbia in a Tiger uniform since transferring in from Oklahoma State.
