Penn State?s rugged February wrestling road trip has ended with the Nittany Lions going 3-1, losing only to Iowa. Penn State will be home on Sunday for Senior Day festivities at 2 p.m. at Rec Hall. The match is once again a sellout.
Rider will be the foe and odds are that the match could end in Penn State?s fourth shutout of the season. But Rider coach Gary Taylor, who won his 390th career match on Sunday when Rider defeated Drexel 26-12, is looking forward to it.
?That?s going to be a tough trip,?? Taylor said in a school release. ?For Penn State to give us that opportunity and gain some exposure for our program, I am thankful to their coaching staff.
?It helps a program like ours to compete in that environment. It?s a very special environment and it is going to be sold out and lively.??
Rider is 10-6 overall and 3-2 in the Colonial Athletic Association.
