Always Aggressive Podcast, Episode 5 / 2019-20 Season Stats
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - After opening the 2019-20 season in impressive fashion at the Michigan State Open last weekend, the Purdue wrestling team begins its dual schedule Saturday, heading to Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, New York for the 2019 Journeymen Northeast Duals. The Boilermakers will wrestle three times Saturday, set to face Buffalo, Utah Valley and No. 8 Arizona State at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m., respectively.
"We got off to a great start last week, but it's important for us to take the next step," said Boilermaker head coach Tony Ersland. "We're trying to teach our guys that it doesn't matter what you did last week, or who you wrestle in the next match, but it's who's in front of you right now. Go out and compete at a high level every time."

The Boilermakers placed seven at the Michigan State Open, led by a 157-pound championship from freshman Kendall Coleman. The rookie opened his collegiate career with wins over wrestlers ranked No. 7, 8 and 10 in this week's FloWrestling poll, earning co-Big Ten Wrestler of the Week honors for his efforts. Fellow rookie Emil Soehnlen was second at 165 pounds, junior Devin Schroder was third at 125 pounds, and junior Max Lyon and sophomore Parker Filius both earned spots on the podium.

• After rolling up 30 back points at Michigan State, junior Devin Schroder climbed to No. 7 all-time at Purdue with 264 so far in his career.
• Junior Max Lyon led the Boilermakers in scoring at MSU, posting three technical falls on his way to 72 points in six matches.
• Coleman piled up a team-best 19 takedowns at Michigan State, while surrendering only three in five matches.
