Rutgers won't celebrate 'moral victories' after Penn State loss

Rutgers came closer to beating Penn State than anyone expected, but the Scarlet Knights aren't looking to have a parade as a result.

"We wrestled really hard. That's all I ask of these guys. I'm super proud of them. But, you know, you don't ever like to lose. I'm not into moral victories," coach Scott Goodale said following Sunday's 25-15 loss to the No. 1 Nittany Lions at the Rutgers Athletics Center in Piscataway.

"We knew we were up against it. It's a great team, an all-time team. I get it. But we wrestled really, really hard.
