EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Despite a 14-6 lead following the 165-pound bout, the Michigan State wrestling team was unable to complete the upset of No. 20-ranked Purdue on Sunday, February 17. The Spartans dropped each of the last four matches of the afternoon to fall to the Boilermakers, 18-14.
With a loss, the Spartans record drops to 9-8 overall and their Big Ten dual record finishes at 3-6. Purdue is now 7-9 overall and will also finish 3-6 in the conference.
No. 7-ranked 125-pounder Rayvon Foley tallied early bonus points for Michigan State, defeating Marshall Craig V by tech fall (18-2) to open the dual. Foley's sophomore season record improved to 29-2 overall and 16-1 in duals following his win on Sunday.
Foley earned four takedowns and two four-point near falls in the bout.
Purdue came away on top in a low-scoring 133 pound bout, with No. 15-ranked Ben Thornton only scoring on a third period escape and riding time to defeat redshirt senior Anthony Tutolo.
At 141 pounds, Nate Limmez led redshirt senior Austin Eicher, 5-1 heading into the third period. Eicher scored a reversal at the start of the period and a takedown later on, but an escape by Limmex gave him a 6-5 advantage at the final buzzer.
The Spartans were on the winning end of a one-point bout at 149 pounds as redshirt freshman Jaden Enriquez scored a takedown on Parker Filius with 30 seconds remaining in the third period to seal victory.
Redshirt sophomore Jake Tucker earned his 20th victory of the season on Sunday by upsetting No. 13-ranked Griffin Parriott at 157 pounds. Parriott, who ranks No. 11 at 157 pounds by FloWrestling, led Tucker 3-2 heading into the third.
In the third, Tucker earned a quick escape and took Parriott down with 23 seconds remaining to improve his season tally to 20-13 overall.
Out of the intermission, redshirt sophomore Austin Hiles increased the Spartans lead to 14-6 over Purdue with a 4-1 decision to defeat Cole Wysocki.
Unfortunately for the Spartans, Purdue went on to rattle off four straight victories to close the dual. Bouts at 174 and 285 pounds went to sudden victory where the Spartans fell just short. No. 15-ranked Cameron Caffey was upset in the 184-pound bout, 7-6, by Max Lyon.
Michigan State will conclude its 2018-19 dual season at home this upcoming Friday, February 22 with a 7:00 p.m. ET dual against Central Michigan.
