For the first time this season, Penn State wrestling will be broadcast on national television, as the Nittany Lions’ 6 p.m. Friday dual with Arizona State is set to air on ESPN2.
“I think that’s great. Any national exposure like that is great for the sport, and I think we’re seeing more and more of that in wrestling, which I think is a good sign,” Penn State coach Cael Sanderson said Tuesday.
With a Lehigh team depleted by injuries, No. 15 Arizona State will be Penn State’s toughest test yet, as it brings five InterMat-ranked wrestlers to Rec Hall for four ranked head-to-head matchups.
