In what came as a surprise to absolutely nobody, Penn State wrestling pounded Michigan at the Bryce Jordan Center Friday night.
Penn State got a pin to start the night and just kept winning from there.
The stars, such as Beau Bartlett, Shayne Van Ness and Mitchell Mesenbrink, all got wins, and a reserve named Kyison Garcia got his first dual meet win at 133, filling in for Braeden Davis.
Penn State has now won 65 consecutive bouts dating back more than five seasons. It’s also swept the state of Michigan, following a 55-0 win over Michigan State last month.
