CDT: Energized Nittany Lions sweep three foes at duals

Guy Cipriano

VESTAL, N.Y. — With no mat-side prodding from his coaches, Penn State’s Frank Molinaro ran to the center of the mat.

He waited for company as Edinboro’s Torsten Gillespie adjusted his left knee pad twice. Gillespie then lumbered to the center for the final 38 seconds of the 149-pound bout.

Even during the third dual of the season’s first demanding day, Molinaro demonstrated subtle changes emerging within the Penn State wrestling program.

Instead of casually trudging toward restarts, these Nittany Lions run, and on Sunday they bounced into three victories, including a 22-9 triumph over 15th-ranked Edinboro during the Sprawl and Brawl Duals at Binghamton University.
