ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Brad Pataky had stitches below his eye. Frank Molinaro’s face was bleeding. Cyler Sanderson wrestled with a bandage around an entire leg.

Physically, Penn State left the Big Ten Championships battered, although their aches appeared mild compared to Michigan State’s Nick Palmieri, who competed with an eye swollen shut.

Mentally, the Nittany Lions appear fine.

The tournament yielded mixed results for Penn State, which went 17-18 in individual bouts and finished fifth in the two-day event. The Nittany Lions, who placed seventh against a stronger field last year, currently have six NCAA qualifiers.

Pataky at 125 pounds, Molinaro at 149, Sanderson at 157, Dan Vallimont at 165, David Erwin at 184 and heavyweight Cameron Wade.
