Freddie Rodriquez made his SIUE dual match debut at 125 pounds and was victorious 16-10 over Luke Schroeder.
"He wrestled well and got a takedown right away but then gave up points at the end of the first period," said SIUE Head Coach Jeremy Spates. "He then turned around and got a six-point move to start the second period."
"We came out and wrestled hard, which was a big key," said Spates. "The guys are starting to believe they can beat a team like that."
Purdue improved to 9-7.
SIUE will close of the regular season with Rodriguez and McMahon heading to the U.S. Western National Open in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
"They both missed a lot of time," said Spates. "We're going out there to try to get some Division I matches for them to help them qualify better for the NCAAs."
