Even though his team fell 42-3 to the Nittany Lions, Bucknell wrestling coach Dan Wirnsberger said Friday night’s match in front of 4,279 fans was still a win.
“Before the match even started, it was a win; just with the anticipation of it, knowing we were going to set a record for Bucknell wrestling, putting 4,200 butts in the stands to watch a wrestling match,” he said. “There were people who came to watch this wrestling match tonight that have never seen a wrestling match before. I’ve had dozens of people tell me that, and that’s great for the program.
