PSU Finishing Dual Season Against Buffalo

Top-ranked Penn State is capping off its dual meet season with a final tuneup before the Big Ten Championships against Buffalo this Sunday at Rec Hall in University Park, PA.

The Nittany Lions are fresh off of back-to-back home wins over #2 Ohio State and #3 Iowa but are still looking for the answer of who will be their starter at 197lb.

DATE: Sunday, Feb. 18 | TIME: 2 PM ET | WHERE: University Park, PA

Penn State sophomore Anthony Cassar and junior Shakur Rasheed have each started once at 197 in PSU's last two outings and both have looked incredible.

Cassar’s win over #1 Kollin Moore of Ohio State on Feb. 3 made the debate even more interesting. Then Rasheed emerged through the smokey tunnel at the Bryce Jordan Center a week later and majored #8 Cash Wilcke of Iowa, 11-2.

Check out highlights from Rasheed's major over Wilcke:
