PHILADELPHIA– Penn State wrestling is 1-0 in this year’s NCAA Championships so far.
Initially, it looked like 133-pounder Braeden Davis might be in trouble.
Davis, seeded No. 8, fell behind Bucknell’s Kurt Phipps (No. 25) 4-2 in the second period.
But a late takedown gave Davis a 5-4 lead going into the third period, and it was all Davis from there. A takedown and a near fall late in the third gave Davis not just a win, but a major decision and gave Penn State its first two points of the tournament.

He’s off to a hot start to reaching his goals as a sophomore.
