WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue wrestling is set to kick-off its 2022-23 dual season on Sunday with a home match against Rider in Holloway Gymnasium. The home opener for the Boilermakers will get underway at 12:00 p.m. ET and be streamed on BTN+.
CRASHED THE PARTY AT CLARION Purdue traveled to the Clarion Open to start its season and head coach Tony Ersland's squad showed no signs of rust. The team came away with six champions, a first place team finish, seven finalists and twelve placewinners.
Matt Ramos and Parker Filius won their titles outright, while the duos of Dustin Norris and Jacob Macatangay and Kendall Coleman and Nate Camiscioli shared their titles with each other once they reached the finals. Six more Boilermakers made the podium to give head coach Tony Ersland's team 240 team points, good for first place and 41 more than second place.
SCOUTING THE BRONCS The Rider Broncs have seen action on two occasions prior to facing the Boilermakers. They began at the Princeton Open where redshirt junior Quinn Kinner and graduate-student Ethan Laird, both NCAA qualifiers, won titles at 149 and 197 pounds respectively. Ten more Broncs took spots on the podium on the day.
Rider head coach John Hangey moved to 42-24 with the program after their first dual on Friday night, picking up a 21-19 win over SIUE. Laird provided the difference with a 21-6 tech fall. THE LAST RIDE(R) These two teams faced off in Philadelphia, Pa., as part of a tri-dual with Drexel last season with the Boilermakers emerging victorious by a score of 33-3. The Broncs proved to be a tough test, as five of the matches were decided by two points or less and two went into sudden victory.
Ramos, in only his second appearance for Purdue, battled back from 4-1 down to put Rider's Richie Koehler on his back in sudden victory to earn a pin at 8:08. Filius also took his match to overtime before grabbing a 7-5 win over Kinner for the Broncs. Trey Kruse, Kendall Coleman and Thomas Penola all also earned wins to propel Purdue to team victory.
Purdue holds a 2-1 all-time record against Rider, with the first ever matchup coming in a win for the Boilermakers in 2008. This will be the first time the two programs have met in West Lafayette.
HOME SWEET HOME The Boilermakers return to the friendly confines of Holloway Gymnasium for the first time this season on Sunday. In his nine years at the helm, Ersland holds a 29-25 record in home matches and was 5-2 at home last season. He owns the third-most home wins by a coach in Purdue history.
