WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Boilermaker wrestling team could not make the third time a charm, falling to the Wisconsin Badgers for the third time this season, 28-6, at the IAF on Friday evening.
The loss drops Purdue to 16-5 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten. Wisconsin improves to 16-3 and 3-1 in conference duals. Purdue has lost its last six duals at home dating back to last year.
With the dual opening at 184 pounds, the Badgers jumped on Purdue early and the Boilermakers were unable to respond. Brady Reinke defeated sophomore Ben Wissel (Richmond, Ind.), 6-1, and freshman Nathan Moore (Indianapolis, Ind.) dropped an overtime decision to Ryan Flaherty, 9-7.
Purdue got on the scoreboard at heavyweight as senior Israel Blevins (Sullivan, Ind.) posted an 8-2 decision against Jareck Horton. Blevins took a 2-0 lead into the final period and put the match away with two late takedowns.
Wisconsin answered the Boilermaker win with three straight victories of their own, winning by technical fall at 125 and decision at both 133 and 141. With the team score 17-3 in favor of the Badgers, senior Dan Jankowski (Evansville, Ind.) broke open a 2-2 deadlock in the third with a reversal and two-point nearfall to garner the win, 7-3.
The Boilermakers were unable to break back into the win column in the final three matches of the dual as Wisconsin scored decision victories at 157 and 174 and a technical fall at 165, the Badgers' second bonus-point victory.
The Purdue grapplers return to the road where they are 2-0 in the Big Ten this season, this time traveling to East Lansing to take on the Michigan State Spartans on Sunday, Feb. 8, at 1 p.m.
