MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Purdue wrestling earned three ranked upset wins, but came up short against No. 13 Minnesota 20-12 to wrap up the weekend on the road.
Matt Ramos, Parker Filius and Hayden Copass all picked up upsets and Kendall Coleman battled for a ranked win of his own as the Boilermakers (4-7, 0-4 B1G) young squad brought the fight to the Golden Gophers in Maturi Pavilion.
Just days after recording the highest ranked upset of his career, the redshirt-sophomore No. 10 Ramos outdid himself once again by taking down No. 5 Patrick McKee 4-2 in the opening match of the dual. Ramos, who transferred to Purdue from Minnesota, did not give up a takedown to his former teammate and used a second period roll through to get two on a reversal to take the win.
No. 15 Filius followed Ramos' lead and rolled a tricky reversal into a two-point nearfall to win an 8-5 decision over #11 Jakob Bergeland. The move nearly resulted in a pin for Filius but was left at two points after review. It is his fifth ranked win of the year, second most on the team behind Ramos.
Redshirt-senior No. 3 Coleman was no less impressive in his 5-2 win over No. 16 Brayton Lee. The match was action packed, and saw a lot of shots from both sides from the whistle. Coleman jumped out in front thanks to a pair of doubles in the first and did not look back. He once again did not allow a takedown for his opponent and has only done so in four of his 25 matches on the season.
The wins from Ramos, Filius and Coleman all came against the three former All-Americans on the roster for the Gophers.
The final match of the afternoon ended in dramatic fashion as redshirt-freshman Hayden Copass overpowered No. 27 Garrett Joles for a takedown as time expired to win a 5-3 decision. Copass timed his re-attack perfectly to catch Joles in a bad position to help the Boilermakers end the dual on a high note. It was the first career ranked win for the Georgetown, Ill., native.
Purdue will look to build off the positives as they head into a rivalry match with Indiana next Sunday at 4:00 p.m. ET in Holloway Gymnasium.
