Notable: Oregon State is probably Penn State's toughest dual meet yet, but their toughest work is still in front of them. The Beavers come into Friday night with nine of their 10 weight classes filled with ranked wrestlers. The highest is 184-pounder Trey Munoz. ... The Beavers made the trip to State College last season with the Nittany Lions winning the dual meet, 31-3. ... This is Penn State's first trip to the west coast for a dual meet since Nov. 22, 2019, when the Lions lost to Arizona State, 19-18. ... Although this will be the Lions' first dual meet since Dec. 10, a number of PSU wrestlers competed in the USA Team Trials in the middle of December. ... After this dual meet, Penn State will begin its Big Ten schedule, but will wrap up the regular season with a non-conference meet at home with Edinboro. ... Braeden Davis is now the listed starter at 125 pounds for Penn State over Gary Steen and Robbie Howard. Either David Evans or Tyler Kasak will get the brunt of the work the rest of the season at 149 pounds for the injured Shayne Van Ness.
