Nittany Lion Wrestling Club dominates at freestyle event taking nine of 13 bouts

Cael Sanderson's wrestlers often have a knack for putting on a show and providing fans with entertainment, but this weekend it was Sanderson who did the entertaining once again.

No, the Olympic gold medalist didn't come out of retirement and step onto the mat himself to compete.

Instead, the 12th-year coach organized a 13-bout freestyle event hosted by the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club in State College, which featured some of the top names in men's and women's freestyle.

The night's final bout at 190 pounds was also the main event.

It pitted three-time NCAA champion and Hodge Trophy winner Bo Nickal from Penn State against three-time NCAA champion and Hodge Trophy winner from Oklahoma State Alex Dieringer.
