The third-ranked Penn State wrestlers rebounded from their loss to Iowa with two victories this past weekend at Michigan State and #13 Michigan.

The Lions won seven of ten matches and finished with a 35-4 takedown advantage in Friday night's rout of the 9-5 Spartans. On Sunday, Penn State ruined Michigan's undefeated Big Ten record and racked up the bonus points despite barely leading in takedowns. Freshman David Taylor remains undefeated on the season and is still ranked third nationally at 157. 

This weekend, Penn State returns home to Rec Hall to take on #19 Illinois (Friday, 7pm) before heading to Minneapolis to take on Minnesota on Sunday afternoon. Friday night's dual will be the second to last home dual of the season, which means only two more chances remain to see this year's squad at Rec Hall!
