The Iowa Hawkeyes will face #24 Purdue on Sunday, January 9 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena at 2 PM. Purdue is coached by former Iowa Hawkeye Tony Erslund. The potential is there for five matches that will involve ranked wrestlers.
The biggest match of ranked wrestlers will be #12 Kaleb Young – #10 Kendall Coleman at 157 and #5 Jacob Warner – #15 Thomas Penola at 197.
Purdue looked real good last night defeating #6 Nebraska 18-15 at Nebraska. The match count was 5-5 but Purdue scored a tech fall at 125 (#5 Devin Schroder) and a major decision at 141 (#25 Parker Filius). At 184, #23 Max Lyon defeated #10 Tyler Ventz, 7-2. #10 Kendall Coleman did not wrestle at 157. This was the first Purdue win over a Top 10 ranked team since 2004 and the first for Coach Ersland.
It will be Military Appreciation Day for the Iowa-Purdue dual meet.
The Iowa-Purdue meet will be televised live on BTN and available at FoxSports.com and the Fox Sports mobile app.
