STATE COLLEGE | No. 1 Penn State once again asserted its dominion over college wrestling, head-locking No. 2 Iowa 30-8 at the Bryce Jordan Center on Friday in a match that cemented the Nittany Lions atop the sport's hierarchy. Penn State wrestling won eight of 10 bouts, losing one with a missing starter, and dominated some of Iowa's top wrestlers.

The indomitable Tyler Kasak from Doylestown, Pa. took it upon himself here Friday night to not just conquer his match but symbolize this latest runaway, marquee victory − a 30-8 final count for the No. 1 Nittany Lions over what's billed as the second-best team around, the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Nittany Lions led the entire time and cruised to the 30-8 victory over the Hawkeyes at PSU’s Bryce Jordan Center. Here are three takeaways from the battle of the previous unbeatens, No. 1 vs. No. 2: Penn State’s Luke Lilledahl is not your average true freshman wrestler.

The No. 1 Nittany Lions overwhelmed the second-ranked Hawkeyes before an energized, sold-out crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Cael Sanderson’s top-ranked wrestling team made quick work of No. 2 Iowa last Friday night in State College, winning 30-8 before a sellout crowd. Obviously, PSU remains No. 1 in the updated InterMat team rankings.
