Purdue at Penn St Tonight!

Available on BTN+ ($9.95 team subscription or $14.95 all teams) or FloWrestling (subscription required)

Lots of IN kids should go tonight.  Likely from Purdue - Luke Welch #12 @ 125, Dylan Lydy #12 @174, Kobe Woods @ 197 & Shawn Streck @ 285.

The meet also features the first appearance at home for Nick Lee, who came out of redshirt status last weekend and enters the rankings this week at #7 on Intermat and #8 on Flo.  Nick is 16-3 on the year including his unattached schedule.  He has scored bonus points in all but one win.  He'll face Nate Limmex who defeated Chad Red last week.  I know comparative scores aren't reliable, but you can bet many will be watching to see how Nick does against him.

Below is an article from a PA paper on Nick with quotes from Greg Schaefer and Matt Coughlin.  It's a nice piece with only one error in the year he won State in IN.

Lineups:

125: PSU forfeit vs. #12 Luke Welch
133: Corey Keener vs. Ben Thornton
141: #7 Nick Lee vs. Nate Limmex
149: #1 ZPain vs. Austin Nash
157: #1 Jason Nolf vs. Cole Wysocki
165: #1 Vincenzo Joseph vs. Jaco Morrissey
174: #2 Mark Hall vs. #12 Dylan Lydy
184: #1 Bo Nickal vs. Max Lyon
197: #10 Shakur Rasheed vs. Kobe Woods
285: #8 Nick Nevills vs. #15 Shawn Streck

285 should be interesting.  Nevills finished 4th at the Southern Scuffle and was dominated by Michigan's Adam Coon.  PSU fans have complained he hasn't been as active/aggressive recently.  Could be a nice win for Streck if he can pull it off.

Keener dec Thornton 3-2 - lots of shots by Thornton but couldn't finsh.

Lee with a MD over Limmex, 13-4.  Lee won every scramble and  fended off Limmex shots, two where he got in on a single leg but couldn't finish.  Nice performance by Nick in his Rec Hall debut.

Check that, Lee wins 14-4.  I missed a late stall point on Limmex.

Doesn't he always...

 

Pretty much, yeah.  He's technically very sound.

Shakur Rasheed wins by Fall over Kobe Woods 1:42.  Rasheed is PSU's 3rd wrestler at 197 this year and may end up being their best.

He has looked great lately.  Undersized, but he really moves and works that cradle like no other.

That’s brutal, but not surprising. Purdue has some good to very good wrestlers but penn State is just on another level 

Agreed..Purdue will get a very nice handful to NCAAs this year. But PSU has 5 champs and 3 more ranked Top 10. Even Ohio St, who are loaded to the gills and are the slight tournament favorite, probably can't win a dual against that lineup.
