Rutgers Wrestling weekend ends in sweep

Oh, yeah. Rutgers was 3-0 on the weekend, too, as wrestling bookended Steve Pikiell’s first Big Ten basketball win. Not a bad weekend at all.

The Knights (9-2, 3-1) remain undefeated at home with the weekend sweep, topping Oregon State (2-6), 38-3 and B1G opponent Purdue (8-3, 3-2), 27-9. In addition, the win over the Boilermakers on Sunday was Head Coach Scott Goodale’s 150th dual match victory.

RU appears much more aggressive this season. On most opportunities, the Knights are looking for back points right off their takedowns. And when the visitors are watching your hype video, as Purdue was, before the match, you might already have a leg up.
