Nittany Lions earn bonus point in each of the 10 bouts.
To wit: About 75 quick minutes of vigorous — if not unchallenging — wrestling over the course of 10 bouts; a 54-0 shutout for No. 1-ranked Penn State , the 36th shutout in program history and 24th for head coach Cael Sanderson; the 59th straight victory for Penn State and the 250th career win for Sanderson, and some interesting walk-up and background music to entertain a crowd of 7,317.
The Cowboys — missing starters Jore Volk and Joey Novak — were victims of 10 losses, each of which yielded bonus points for Penn State, including five falls and four technical falls. Penn State won the takedown battle 29-1 and the longest bout out of a possible 7 minutes of regulation time was 5:27.
Branch said Penn State will make a return trip to Laramie next season. “You hope your guys will fight harder in front of their home crowd,” Branch said. Luke Lilledahl started Penn State’s takedown onslaught with a six-pack of three-pointers against Wyoming’s Jack Braman for a technical fall in 4:25.
Penn State’s Beau Bartlett and Shayne Van Ness followed with falls, Bartlett’s in just 43 sewconds against Cole Brooks and Van Ness’s in 4:26 after opening an 11-5 lead against former Latrobe High School wrestler Gabe Willochell. “A lot of the top stuff that I’ve been doing, working on it with the coaches, that’s a whole different game, and it’s really exciting, and it makes the sport fun, looking for new challenges and new things that you can constantly keep getting better at.”
