Cornell/Penn State

[Earl]

The Nittany Lions will host Cornell this Friday in a matchup of Eastern powers.

125-Mark McKnight (PSU) vs Frank Perrelli/Mike Rodriguez (Cor)
133-Tim Haas (PSU) vs Mike Grey (Cor)
141-Jake Strayer (PSU) vs Adam Frey (Cor)
149-Bubba Jenkins (PSU) vs DJ Meagher (Cor)
157-Dan Vallimont (PSU) vs Jordan Leen (Cor)
165-Dave Rella (PSU) vs Mack Lewnes (Cor)
174-David Erwin (PSU) vs Steve Anceravage (Cor)
184-Phil Bomberger (PSU) vs Michael Moore (Cor)
197-Phil Davis (PSU) vs Taylor Moore (Cor)
285-Stefan Tighe (PSU) vs Zach Hammond (Cor)

Nice matchups at 141, 157, 165, 174 and 285.

At 141 the two met at 133 in last season's dual with Frey winning a 1 pt. decision

157-Leen tweaked his ankle at the Scuffle but should be able to be in the lineup in a match of top-10 wrestlers.

165-Another chapter in the history of Lewnes/Rella. The two both shared time at the number 1 spot in the High School rankings during their senior season. They met 3 times with Lewnes winning two of them.

Nice upset for Erwin at 174.

149 is interesting. We'll have to see whether Scott beat Jenkins or maybe Bubba was banged up or something. Also Frey was supposed to wrestle 149.

Question? Does Cornell deserve the duel rating that has been posted. I say no.
