Penn State wrestling survives strong start by Rutgers, Nolf injury to hold on and remain undefeated

Neither Cael Sanderson nor former Nittany Lion Nick Suriano were concerned about this weekend's reunion between the two sides when Penn State traveled to Rutgers to take on the Scarlet Knights on Sunday.

While Suriano wasn't a cause for concern for Sanderson, several arose as Penn State downed Rutgers 25-15 in a highly contested and competitive dual that saw reigning national champion at 157 Jason Nolf exit with an apparent knee injury and saw several penalties assessed to wrestlers and the team.

Suriano dominated against his former team to kick things off for Rutgers as the nation's top ranked wrestler at 125 made easy work of Penn State's Devin Schnupp to start, going up 19-7 before Schnupp fought off several of Suriano's attempts at getting a four point near fall.
