Zain Retherford stays undefeated and wins Penn State wrestling an individual national title

Zain Retherford remains undefeated.

After a year off, Penn State's 149-pounder controlled Iowa's Brandon Sorensen from the first ticks of the clock. He took down Sorensen early.

He didn't look back.

"It's awesome," Retherford said. "That's all I can say about it. It was awesome."

Retherford took the Nittany Lions' second individual NCAA title on Saturday night, taking a 10-1 major decision and following teammate Nico Megaludis' victory at 125 pounds.

He latched on to Sorensen's leg, then moved to his neck and wrists. The Hawkeye's limbs flailed, then fell.
