A slightly edited news release from the Gophers wrestling sports informaton director:
The Minnesota Wrestling Endowment Meet was held Sunday, meaning all ticket revenue from the 3,107 fans at the Sports Pavilion will go to wrestling scholarships. The Gophers won the dual with No. 25 Purdue 30-9. Minnesota (9-4, 4-0) opened a 14-0 lead before Purdue (10-7, 1-3) won its first match. Dustin Schlatter (Massillion, Ohio) and Cody Yohn (Alamosa, Colo.) started the meet with back-to-back 11-1 major decisions at 157 pounds and 165. Schlatter improves to 10-1 on the season, and has won 10 straight matches. In the shortest match, heavyweight Ben Berhow (Hayward, Minn.) notched a first period fall. Before the two minute mark in the first period Berhow pinned Purdue's Adam Walls for his first fall since the Southern Scuffle. It was his second fasted pin of the season for Berhow, who won his third straight. After Berhow's match, the Gophers held a 23-3 advantage. Next weekend, the Gophers wrestle at Illinois and Indiana.
