Penn State’s Carter Starocci is expected to face Iowa's Gabe Arnold for the first time Friday night when the No. 1 Nittany Lions host No. 2 Iowa. Joe Hermitt | [email protected] question was bound to be asked and the answers, as entertaining as they were, varied in style.
Arnold, who went 12-1 last season while preserving his redshirt status, and the four-time NCAA champion Starocci traded a few barbs on social media last season, but the young Hawk seemed to fire the first shot this year.“He’s the starter. I thought the other guy was the starter,” Starocci said Monday. “Didn’t the other guy win the tournament ?
“And I think everybody’s kind of used to it, and everyone kind of does their own thing. We just try to do our thing when the whistle blows. It’s not something that we really think too much about or worry too much about. We’re going to bring our best effort regardless; we’re not really thinking about our opponent.”
It’s tough to argue that point, since the top-ranked Lions are 9-0/3-0 and continue to build on a 65-match win streak. Their last loss was five years ago in Iowa City.
