Penn State’s Anthony Cassar reacts after upsetting Ohio State’s Kollin Moore at 197 pounds last year at Rec Hall. Moore said the loss “sucked,” but he quickly put it behind him, and is now looking toward his next Nitany Lion challenger -- two-time national champ Bo Nickal. Phoebe Sheehan psheehan@centredaily.com
With Penn State standout Jason Nolf sidelined with injury last year, Ohio State came into Rec Hall looking for victory against the top-ranked Nittany Lion wrestlers. But some bonus points here and an upset there, and Penn State eked out a close 19-18 win.
Now that it’s time for Penn State to travel onto Ohio State’s turf on Friday, the Buckeyes won’t soon forget how last year felt.
