Mirror: Nittany Lions use the fall to earn big victory

UNIVERSITY PARK – He had a 9-0 major decision over Northwestern’s Andrew Nadhir, but Penn State’s fourth-ranked 149-pounder, Frank Molinaro, felt kind of left out Friday night at Rec Hall.
“Yeah, seriously,” Molinaro said, “I’ve got to get a pin. This is getting crazy. I only have one this year.”
Molinaro was envious because the 11th-ranked Nittany Lions recorded three pins – rare for a college dual meet – against the Wildcats, who are 0-4 in the Big Ten Conference after the graduation of Hodge Trophy winner Jake Herbert, to go with two major decision and a forfeit in a 37-10 rout before 3,841 fans as a winter storm was blowing through outside.
