WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue wrestling team hosts its annual Hammer Down Cancer dual Sunday, as it is set to square off with No. 21 Wisconsin at 1:00 p.m. ET in Holloway Gymnasium. The Boilermakers will auction off special, limited-edition singlets, with all proceeds going to support the Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment.
