Badgers wrestling team loses to Penn State

MADISON, Wis. — University of Wisconsin wrestling coach Chris Bono identified two matches as key to the fourth-ranked Badgers' chances of upsetting second-ranked Penn State on Friday night.

Neither match went the Badgers' way and the reigning NCAA champion Nittany Lions closed by winning the last five matches in rolling to a 29-10 victory before a season-high crowd of 3,073 at the UW Field House.

"We knew going into the match we had to win all the toss-ups and we didn't get 149 (pounds) or we thought 184 we could get in there and that hurt us," Bono said.
