How Bo Nickal clinched Penn State wrestling’s eighth national title against a familiar Ohio State foe

The Penn State wrestlers who were competing in the finals on Saturday night knew the team score was close between them and Ohio State, but they never lost sight of their goals: to win an individual title as well as a team title. If they accomplished the first goal, the second would come along with it.

The five wrestlers taking the mat on Saturday night inside Quicken Loans Arena were the same five that won their individual titles last year in 2017, and they all were fighting for that back-to-back win.

Zain Retherford wrestled, and won.

Jason Nolf wrestled, and won.
