MADISON, Wis. – The Purdue Wrestling team dominated in a 33-7 victory at Wisconsin on Friday night, opening its final regular season road trip on a high note.
The Boilermakers (9-4, 2-3 B1G) won eight of the 10 matches at UW Field House, including five for bonus points.
No. 1 Matt Ramos got the night started with an emphatic 11-2 major decision over No. 17 Nicolar Rivera at 125 pounds.
The undefeated senior jumped ahead 10-0 before Rivera notched a last-second reversal in the third period to spoil the shutout.
But it was not enough to prevent Ramos' ninth ranked victory and 17th bonus point win to improve to 22-0 on the year.
No. 28 Greyson Clark returned to the lineup in his home state and handily beat Brock Bobzien in a 7-2 decision.
The 141-pound Wrightstown, Wisconsin, native registered two takedowns and an escape to put him over the top.
Isaac Ruble kept the good vibes rolling in an 11-2 major decision over Royce Nilo (149 lbs). It was the redshirt-sophomore's first time hitting bonus in a Big Ten Conference dual.
Coming out of the intermission ahead 11-7, the Old Gold & Black went on to sweep the back half of the card.
Bouncing back from a string of frustrating defeats in recent weeks, team captain Stoney Buell opened the 165-pound match with a commanding 16-4 major decision over Cale Anderson.
The Dundee, Michigan, junior got to work early, taking Anderson down 23 seconds into the match and rolling around for five back points to go up 8-0.
With 3:46 of riding time, Buell cruised back into the win column with another takedown, a penalty point, a reversal and an escape.
No. 27 Brody Baumann earned a gritty 12-9 decision win in sudden victory over Lucas Condon.
After getting caught with a buzzer-beating takedown to tie it after three periods, Baumann bowed up and earned the definitive points with a takedown 43 seconds into overtime.
Orlando Cruz wasted little time to secure his first career Big Ten pin in just 2:14.
The redshirt freshman from Crown Point, Indiana, is turning heads in his first season of action, filling in for the injured James Rowley at 184 pounds with four dual wins.
Cruz's win over Dylan Russo was Purdue's first fall since the conference opener against Northwestern on Jan. 10.
Ben Vanadia held his own at 197 pounds, beating Wyatt Ingham in a tough 10-8 decision thanks to two takedowns and 1:37 of riding time.
Hayden Filipovich punctuated Purdue's night with a pin of his own, sticking Gannon Rosenfeld at the 5:44 mark with a shot he never saw coming.
Planting him square on his back, Filipovich secured the pin in the blink of an eye to put six more points on the board for good measure.
The team win marked Purdue's first over the Badgers (4-10, 0-6 B1G) since Feb. 18, 2018. UP NEXT The Boilers head further northwest to Minneapolis for their final road dual of the season, squaring up with No. 7 Minnesota on Super Bowl Sunday.
