In the most surprising dual of the season to date, #5 Arizona State beat #1 Penn State in Tempe to end Penn State's 60 match win streak. We had live updates throughout the night. Here is a breakdown of all the action:


ASU has been hyping this dual all week, and hopefully they'll have an enormous crowd. Should be some really solid action.

Sounds like we'll be starting tonight at 125.

Looks like some fantastic women's soccer action on the screen now. Hoping we have wrestling underway soon. It appears that the new official start time is 9:05 PM ET, so I'm optimistic we won't miss any action.


Ok, the 125-pounders are on the mat. Here we go!


125: Brody Teske, Penn State vs Brandon Courtney, Arizona State
