Purdue's wrestling team put
together a weekend sweep
of top-25 opponents to return
the Boilers to the top-half of
the Big Ten standings.
The Boilers (13-5 overall,
4-3 in the Big Ten) traveled to
Evanston, Ill., on Friday and
knocked off No. 19 Northwestern, 21-15. Two days later,
Purdue hosted No. 16 Michigan
and came away with a nail-biting 19-18 victory.

Redshirt sophomore Braden Atwood added a pair of wins to his season tally with Ws over Northwestern
and Michigan over the weekend.
His pin against Michigan provided the winning margin for Purdue
against the 16th-ranked Wolverines.
The Delphi native has put together a strong second season at 197
pounds, posting a 18-6 record that
hasn't gone unnoticed. Atwood is currently ranked 22nd in his weight class
by D1 College Wrestling and 18th by
InterMat Wrestle.
