Here’s why winning isn’t what’s most important in Penn State wrestling’s win over Nebraska

Having gone undefeated as a college wrestler, and having guided his team to seven national championships in the past eight years, Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson knows a thing or two about winning.

After his team’s 25-6 win over Nebraska at Rec Hall on Sunday, however, Sanderson said it’s not whether a wrestler wins or loses a match that’s important, as long they’re putting in the work to get better, making adjustments and setting themselves up for long-term success.

Vincenzo Joseph showed the results of those adjustments in his 2-0 win over No. 6 Isaiah White, using improvements made to his top and bottom game to solve the wrestler who’s historically given him issues.
