WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue wrestling team got its first on the mat action of the 2022-23 season in their annual intrasquad scrimmage Friday night at Wrestle-Offs in Holloway Gymnasium. The event saw 18 matches between 22 different wrestlers with five ending in bonus point victories and two going into extra periods.
"Overall I saw a lot of good things from a lot of the guys," said head coach Tony Ersland. "We need to see more consistency, aggression and authority within our matches going forward. Wrestling your teammates can be hard because they know what you want to do, but we need to see guys come and execute more effectively in bigger bursts."
Returning NCAA qualifiers Matt Ramos, Parker Filius and Kendall Coleman went undefeated on the night and won all four of their matches with bonus points. The trio combined to outscore their opponents 59-32. The sophomore Ramos put up a 14-4 major decision win and the redshirt senior Coleman took a 14-5 major in their only matches of the evening. Filius wrestled twice, taking a pair of 18-7 and 15-7 major decisions on the back of a team-high 12 takedowns.
Junior Trey Kruse picked up the only other bonus point victory with his 13-1 major of Jaden Reynolds, using this first period four-point near-fall to build his lead in the second match of the event. Kruse would add another 3-2 decision win later in the night.
Besides Kruse, juniors Cooper Noehre and Macartney Parkinson and sophomore Hayden Copass also snagged multiple wins. Noehre wrestled two close matches with sophomore Stoney Buell, but emerged victorious in both by scores of 5-2 and 3-2. Copass did not allow a takedown in either of his matches to win 3-2 and 4-1 decisions over fellow sophomore Tristan Ruhlman. The 184-pounder Parkinson needed extra periods to take a 3-1 decision win after winning 4-3 in his first match thanks to three third period points.
Freshmen Brody Baumann, Nate Camiscioli, Brac Hooper, Jacob Macatangay and Sean Pitts took the mat for the first time as Boilermakers. Camiscioli and Hooper both started their nights off with wins, earning 5-3 and 4-2 decisions respectively.
