Cael Sanderson's goal is to win NCAA titles, not dual meets, and he's still primed to do that | Opinion

By Cael Sanderson's own admission, he wasn't hired by Penn State to win dual meets.

That's a seemingly ordinary task considering Sanderson won 44 in three years at Iowa State and has won 141 in his time at Penn State.

And yet none of those 141 wins, and now after Friday, none of his 15 losses, have defined a season for Sanderson.

The Nittany Lions lost 19-18 on Friday to an Arizona State team that packed a record 8,522 fans into its gym and a team which was out for revenge after getting shut out at Rec Hall a season ago.
