• On Sunday at Missouri, Teemer recorded a 10-7 decision win over No. 12 Jarret Jacques to help the Sun Devils post their sixth top-25 win this season.
• It was Teemer’s first-ever top-15 win. After starting the season 4-4, he’s won seven of his last eight to improve to 11-5 on the season and has made his way into the InterMat rankings this week at No. 13.
