Overview
- The dual is set for Saturday, Jan. 10 at 4 p.m. ET at Rec Hall and will air on the Big Ten Network.
- Penn State carries the Division I dual-meet record at 77 straight wins, and a victory would push the mark to 78 to surpass Division II St. Cloud State’s 77.
- Rutgers could be without top 141-pounder Joey Olivieri, who has not wrestled since Dec. 7 and is not listed in projected lineups.
- Penn State’s 141-pound plan remains unresolved after Aaron Nagao’s Southern Scuffle medical forfeit, with Cael Sanderson weighing Braeden Davis’s redshirt status or freshman Nate Desmond.
- Key storyline bouts include No. 1 Levi Haines vs. No. 10 Lenny Pinto at 174, and previews widely project a comfortable Penn State win as Rutgers seeks its first victory in 26 tries against the Nittany Lions.
