STATE COLLEGE | No. 1 Penn State once again asserted its dominion over college wrestling, head-locking No. 2 Iowa 30-8 at the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday in a match that cemented the Nittany Lions atop the sport's hierarchy. Penn State wrestling won eight of 10 bouts, losing one with a missing starter, and dominated some of Iowa's top wrestlers.

The indomitable Tyler Kasak from Doylestown, Pa. took it upon himself here Friday night to not just conquer his match but symbolize this latest runaway, marquee victory − a 30-8 final count for the No. 1 Nittany Lions over what's billed as the second-best team around, the Iowa Hawkeyes.

But the plus this weekend for wrestling fans is that they get to watch top-ranked Penn State perform twice. The Nittany Lions entertain No. 14 Michigan (5-4/2-4) at 6 p.m. Friday on BTN and host No. 24 Maryland (8-7/3-2) at 1 p.m. Sunday at Rec Hall.

The No. 1 Nittany Lions overwhelmed the second-ranked Hawkeyes before an energized, sold-out crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Penn State wrestling will attempt to continue its dominating march toward another NCAA Championship on the biggest winter stage Friday night. The No. 1 Nittany Lions against No. 2 Iowa in the sold-out Bryce Jordan Center in State College.

Cael Sanderson’s top-ranked wrestling team made quick work of No. 2 Iowa last Friday night in State College, winning 30-8 before a sellout crowd. Obviously, PSU remains No. 1 in the updated InterMat team rankings.
