Poetic justice -- sort of. First, a mistake vs Cassioppi at the B1G's gives away enough points to cost PSU a league team title; two weeks later his consy victory, apparently fighting thru injury, allows PSU to wrap up the National Title going into the championship round.
Without a Gable Steveson to contend with, if he can stay healthy, Kerkvliet obviously figures to be well into the hunt for both B1G and national titles next year.
