The No. 1 Nittany Lions, meanwhile, have eight top-five grapplers and seek their 67th consecutive dual meet triumph. It is the first of two matches for head coach Cael Sanderson’s side this weekend. It hosts Maryland on Sunday at Rec Hall.

“Michigan’s one of the top programs in the country,” Sanderson said Monday. “So we’re looking forward to that match, another match in the Jordan Center, and then being able to kind of turn around and wrestle Maryland, who’s wrestling really well. I mean, they’ve done a really good job there, and they’ve been very competitive.”
