Hollingshead gets win against PSU wrestlers

From Mirror reports

Former Altoona Area High School wrestling standout D.J. Hollingshead, now a senior at Bucknell University, accounted for the Bisons’ only victory in Bucknell’s 42-3 loss to Penn State at Sojka Pavilion last Friday.

Hollingshead, 3-1 this season, used a late four-point move to cement a 10-5 victory over Penn State sophomore Bo Pipher at 165 pounds. Pipher was filling in for top-ranked Vincenzo Joseph, who was not feeling well.

Hollingshead, a PIAA Class 3A state-runnerup at 170 pounds for Altoona in 2015, is 3-1 in his first four matches this season for Bucknell. He won 18 matches a year ago for the Bisons, and his career collegiate record currently stands at 54-41.
