In a recent matchup against arch-rivals, Penn State locked horns with Iowa Hawkeyes. As the two top contenders competed against each other, spectators were not able to even blink their eyes to catch every glimpse of the showdown. With the help of its amazing roaster, Nittany Lions were finally able to dominate the opponent team to secure a 29-7 finish.
Interestingly, Penn State not only added a second consecutive win but also made it to award their HC Cael Sanderson his 200th win. The major attraction at the dual meet was the 141-pound bout, where Beau Bartlett defeated Real Woods to contribute to the team’s total. However, there is a slight twist in this win.
