Cael Sanderson has experienced a lot in collegiate wrestling, but tonight will be a first for him.

The Penn State wrestling team begins a new chapter in Sanderson’s first year as coach as it competes in its first Big Ten dual meet of the season.

The No. 13 Nittany Lions (8-3-1) host No. 19 Illinois (5-3) at 7 tonight in Rec Hall — the Lions’s; first home dual meet in two months.

It will be the Lions’s first test in a conference that has eight teams in the NWCA/USA Today Division I Team Coaches Poll. Senior 184-pounder David Erwin knows each match will be difficult with the large amount of talent in the conference.

“The Big Ten is just a tough all-around conference,” Erwin said. “So Big Ten duals are always tight matches. It’;s a brawl.”
