2018 NCAA Team Race

Updates on the chase for the national championship and top four podium finishes.

Penn State did it again.

Trailing for most of the NCAA tournament to Ohio State, and by six points entering the final session, the Nittany Lions had an electric ending, eclipsing the Buckeyes by winning 4 of 5 finals on Saturday in Cleveland.

The pivotal moment came when Myles Martin had Bo Nickal in trouble with a feet-to-back exchange. Bo would elevate Martin up and over for the fall to seal PSU's third straight NCAA team title and their seventh in eight years. 

Below are final tallies for the eight teams with the highest projections coming in to the tournament.
