We start with wrestling. The Lions won nine of 10 bouts en route to a 31-3 victory over Oregon State on Sunday. Head coach Cael Sanderson’s team is now 4-0 on the year. Max Dean bounced back at 197 pounds to take out No. 11 Tanner Harvey 6-3. Donovan Ball wrestled for Aaron Brooks and won at 184 pounds. The Lions only loss came at 125 pounds, where Gary Steen lost to No. 12 Brandon Kaylor by decision, 4-0. Three Penn State wrestlers won by bonus points. Roman Bravo-Young and Carter Starocci won by major decision at 133 and 174 pounds, respectively, while heavyweight Greg Kerkvliet won by technical fall 18-2 in 6:08.
“I think looking at the lineups going into the dual, it had the potential to be a really good dual,” head coach Cael Sanderson said, according to PennLive.
“Our guys were able to win some close matches and kind of separate the score a little bit but each the matches were tough. They came in here and wrestled well. (Oregon State is) definitely an up-and-coming program under (head coach Chris) Pendleton. We’re gonna keep getting better as we move along.”

Quote of the day
“We had a great visit. It was me, my mom, my dad and my sister and we saw a lot. Friday, we got Raising Cane’s. That was my first time having that. We probably ate the whole day. They gave us so much food. I probably gained five pounds. But we learned a lot about NIL, we learned about academics and a lot of things. Saturday, they had practice in the morning, so I got to watch that. It was really competitive. I watched the D-line practice, so it was fun watching Dani [Dennis-Sutton] and Dvon [Ellies] and PJ [Mustipher] really getting after it. It was fun seeing them altogether out there.”
