Penn State had to overcome considerable odds to get a 19-19 tie with host University of Pittsburgh Saturday night… but Nittany Lions' head coach Cael Sanderson was not looking at the outcome in a positive way.
“A tie is a loss,” said Sanderson, who never tied — or lost — a match in his varsity wrestling career at Iowa State.

PITTSBURGH, Pa.; December 12, 2009 – Wrestling without two starters, a shorthanded Penn State wrestling team stormed back from an early 9-0 deficit to win five straight bouts in the middle of the dual to walk away with a 19-19 tie at No. 24 Pittsburgh on Saturday. The Lions, ranked No. 14 nationally, already forfeiting at 197, were dealt a serious blow in warm ups when sophomore heavyweight Cameron Wade (Twinsburg, Ohio) was injured and could not wrestle.

PITTSBURGH — First-year Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson has said on many occasions that he hates to lose. At anything. Especially wrestling.

So, even after his No. 14 Nittany Lions (5-1-1) overcame seemingly insurmountable odds Saturday night at Fitzgerald Field House to tie No. 24 Pitt (6-1-1), 19-19, Sanderson bottom lined the match.
“A tie is a loss,” he said.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State senior David Erwin hasn’t been in Ohio since his teenage years, so excuse him for possessing no pre-tournament knowledge of Edinboro’s Chris Honeycutt, another former Buckeye state star.
By early Sunday evening, Erwin knew all about Honeycutt, including how to defeat the wrestler two of his younger teammates couldn’t master.
Erwin used guile to edge Honeycutt 9-8 in the 184-pound final of the annual Nittany Lion Open at Rec Hall. He was one of three Penn State veterans to capture titles. Rejuvenated Frank Molinaro cruised to the 149-pound title while senior Cyler Sanderson edged freshman teammate David Taylor 8-7 in an entertaining final at 157.

The Penn State wrestling team enjoyed success from Nittany Lions past, present and future.
Among Nittany Lion starters, three won championships, one was a runner-up, another was third, a part-time starter was fourth, another was fifth and another part-timer was eighth.
