Senior Cooper Noehre took second in his pool to be the next highest finisher for Purdue. His best win came in an 11-0 major decision shutout of Harvard's Evan Gleason, bagging a takedown in all three periods.
Tristan Ruhlman placed fourth in his group while Ashton Jackson, Michael Leveille, Orlando Cruz, James Rowley and Ben Vanadia all finished in fifth. Leveille finished his weekend well with a 17-3 major over Ryan Dal Pizzol of Sacred Heart.
