Wrestling Postview: #1 Penn State Shuts Out Severely Depleted Lehigh, 42-0

Cael Sanderson’s undefeated dual meet streak against Lehigh continued today, as the Nittany Lions dominated the injury-decimated Mountain Hawks, 42-0.

Compare that Lehigh lineup above, with Lehigh’s projected “starting lineup” from the preseason:

7 of 10 Starters were injured and didn’t go vs Penn State today. 8 of 10, if you count Jacobsen over Weiler. Just a brutal situation for Pat Santoro’s team. Here’s hoping they can get at least a few of those guys healthy by March.

Other noteworthy, if asterisk-heavy, achievements in today’s result:

  • This was the first time in their long history that Penn State has ever shut out Lehigh
  • Penn State won the takedown advantage 48-0.
