The top-ranked Nittany Lions defeated the No. 6 Cornhuskers 31-7. Sanderson said Penn State 'wrestled well enough' to win.

Penn State made the trek to Lincoln, Nebraska, for its first Big Ten road dual of the year on Friday night. The No. 1 Nittany Lions will come back to Happy Valley as 31-7 victors over No. 7 Nebraska in a dual that showcased 10 bouts of ranked wrestlers squaring off.

Nebraska broke through Penn State’s stranglehold at 133 with a surprising 14-7 win by Erie Prep grad Jacob Van Dee over Penn State’s Braeden Davis and a major decision at 149 by fourth-ranked Ridge Lovett over second-ranked Shayne Van Ness. That Lovett won wasn’t as surprising as the 10-2 score itself.
