It’s the busiest month of the season for the Penn State wrestling team.

Between classes, practices, six duals (four on the road) and a two-day tournament, there’s a lot to balance for the nation’s No. 1 wrestling team. But the Nittany Lions aren’t ones to back down from a challenge.

They relish this.

“We’re looking forward to it,” 165-pound sophomore Vincenzo Joseph said. “You know, it’s challenging. You got a lot of matches and stuff — but it gets you really well-prepared for postseason stuff like the national tournament.”

The Nittany Lions checked off the two-day tournament, the Southern Scuffle, on the first Monday and Tuesday of the month.
