Zain Retherford, Roman Bravo-Young put on strong showings as headliners in NLWC's fourth freestyle event

Christmas came early for Penn State wrestling fans, Cael Sanderson and the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club.

Sanderson and the NLWC hosted their fourth freestyle event in as many months, this time featuring several members from NC State and the Wolfpack Wrestling Club, an MMA fighter and a three-time World medalist.

The night got underway when NLWC member Franklin Gomez dispatched Malik Amine by a 5-2 decision.

While the event started off well for the NLWC, the two headliners didn't come until much later in the night.

The first headliner pitted UFC bantamweight and former Division III All-American Aljamain Sterling against NLWC member and Penn State All-American Roman Bravo-Young.
