Quote of the day
“We’re a team but we’re made up of individuals and we want them to be happy and reach their goals when they come to Penn State. When it works out for them that’s great; it doesn’t most of the time, so when it does, it’s a special thing.
“I think these guys care about each other and they compete as individuals. But winning as a team is a lot more fun. You go in as an individual but if your team doesn’t do well … well, it’s just a different experience. We just have a great group of kids and they’re competitors. They step up in these big moments and they did this weekend.”
–PSU wrestling coach Cael Sanderson to PennLive following his team’s latest NCAA title.
