Always Aggressive Podcast: Episode 6 / Season Statistics
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue wrestling team continues its dual slate Sunday, heading to North Dakota State University for a 1 p.m. CT dual at the Scheels Center. The Boilermakers entered the NWCA Top-25 Poll for the first time this season Tuesday, earning the No. 25 spot nationally after a 2-1 dual start at the Journeymen Classic Duals last weekend.
"Sunday is another great opportunity for our team to go face a quality opponent on the road and take another step in the process," said Boilermaker head coach Tony Ersland. "Coach (Roger) Kish and his staff have done a great job building up their program at NDSU and they'll be ready to throw everything they've got at us. It's our job to make sure our guys are ready to handle it."

The Boilermakers went 2-1 in New York, defeating Buffalo 32-8 and Utah Valley 30-12 before a narrow 22-19 loss to No. 8 Arizona State. They took 20 of the 30 matches over the day, including a 5-5 split with the Sun Devils, and scored bonus points in 10 victories. Lydy was 1-of-5 Boilermakers to go undefeated on the day, knocking off the No. 10 and No. 12 wrestlers in the country, while Schroder outscored his three opponents by a combined 44-3 with two technical falls and a major decision. Penola starred in his first career duals starts, knocking off Buffalo's Sam Schuyler and earning his first career fall with a second-period stick against Utah Valley.
PURDUE NOTES
• After going three full seasons without a weekly conference honoree, Purdue has had individuals honored in back-to-back weeks to start 2019-20 as freshman Kendall Coleman shared Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honors on Nov. 5 and senior Dylan Lydy was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week on Nov. 12.
• Lydy has been ranked in 37 straight polls across all major publications, and is currently ranked in the top-10 in all five major polls.
• Lydy is 1-of-3 undefeated Boilermakers so far this season, joining Coleman and junior Griffin Parriott, and has yet to surrender an offensive point. He enters Sunday 10 takedowns shy of a spot on Purdue's career top-20 list in the category.
• Junior Devin Schroder leads NCAA Division I with four technical falls so far this season, three of which have come in the first period. Fellow junior Max Lyon is tied for second in the country with three technical falls. (stats via Wrestling By Pirate)
• With 64 back points through nine matches so far this season, Schroder has climbed to No. 5 all-time at Purdue with 298 so far in his career, most recently passing Jacob Morrissey and Frank Patacsil on the Boilermaker's all-time list.
• Schroder leads the team with 104 points, outscoring opponents by a total of 93 total points and averaging 11.6 points per match, and leads Purdue with 14 dual points
