The Purdue wrestling team fell from the ranks of the unbeaten in the second round of the Virginia Duals, dropping a 26-15 dual to Big Ten foe Wisconsin at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va.
The loss drops Purdue to 10-1 on the season and ends a 10-dual winning streak, the top streak to start a season in Purdue history and the second-best winning streak overall.
Much like the first dual of the Virginia Duals, the Boilermakers just could not get started, losing the first three matches and six of the first seven. 12 of Purdue's 15 points were scored by the final three grapplers, six due to a forfeit at heavyweight.
Senior Dan Jankowski (Evansville, Ind.) was once again the Boilermaker that snapped a three-match losing streak after Purdue lost at 125, 133 and 141 pounds. The Purdue 149-pounder used a five takedown attack to score a 12-6 decision. The win got the Boilermakers on the scoreboard, trailing 13-3.
Losses at 157 and 165 for Purdue set he stage for what looked to be an exact replica of the earlier dual against Wyoming in which the Boilermakers overcame a poor start to win the final four matches and walk away with a win. This time, however, the come-from-behind luck was not on the side of Purdue.
Senior 174-pounder Ryan Lange (Northfield, Ohio) lost for the first time this season, snapping his 19-match winning streak. Lange was caught by Ralph DeNisco for a second-period takedown and was rolled to his back and pinned at the 4:10 mark.
With the score 26-3 and out of reach for Purdue, the Boilermakers got wins by sophomore Ben Wissel and freshman Nathan Moore before senior Israel Blevins was the beneficiery of a forfeit to end the dual.
The Boilermakers return to the Hampton Coliseum on Saturday for a 10 A.M. dual against Friday evening's winner between Old Dominion and American University. American lost its opening round dual to Arizona State, 41-8, while Old Dominion fell to Edinboro, 42-6.
