Purdue Wrestling hosted its second quad of the season on Tuesday in what will be the team's last action of 2022. 

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Purdue Wrestling hosted its second quad of the season on Tuesday in what will be the team's last action of 2022. The Boilermakers (4-3, 0-0 B1G) went 1-2 on the day, taking a 20-18 win over Utah Valley and dropping their matches to Drexel (20-17) and Campbell (29-9). 

In the win over Utah Valley, Purdue splits the matches five-a-piece but emerged victorious thanks to three bonus point wins from No. 3 Kendall Coleman, Stoney Buell and No. 32 Ben Vanadia. The swing match turned out to be Buell's first period pin (1:56) of Danny Snediker, the first win via fall of the young 165-pounder's career. Majors from Coleman and Vanadia along with earlier wins from No. 8 Matt Ramos and Dustin Norris gave Purdue the edge. 

The redshirt senior Coleman (15-1) would shine the brightest for the Boilermakers throughout the day with a trio of bonus point victories. His two major decisions and one tech fall put him into ties for the most such victories on the team in both categories. His 46 points was the most scored by any wrestler on the day with the he next highest coming up with 31. 

Coleman also etched his name in program history on Tuesday by breaking into the top-10 of the career takedowns list at Purdue. He now has 274 across his four years of competition which puts him in 10th all-time, just two shy of Luke Manuel (2008-11) in 9th. Ryan Lange (2001-04) holds the record with 523. 

125-pounder Ramos (14-2) won two of his three matches, claiming his third pin of the year in the first match of the day against Drexel's Antonio Mininno (4:08). His eight bout dual win streak came to an end in sudden victory against Campbell's Anthony Molton 6-4. Both Ramos and Molton graduated from Lockport Township HS in Lockport, Ill. and have done battle on the mat for years. Most recently, Ramos got the better of Molton in the 57 kg final of the U.S. Open. 

It was a feast or famine kind of day for the Boilermakers, who both earned and surrendered eight bonus point wins. Beyond that, four of their losses were by one takedown or less.  Up Next The Boilermakers are done competing in 2022, but will not make fans wait very long to see them back in action in 2023. Purdue will travel to the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tenn., from Jan. 1-2.  Match Results Purdue 17 - Drexel 20
