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.

Sun-Gazette: PSU wrestlers win at West Virginia

By ANDY ELDER, For The Sun-Gazette

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – No matter if it’s in the Eastern Wrestling League or the Big Ten, Penn State still gives Craig Turnbull fits.

The 32-year West Virginia coach watched his record against the Nittany Lions sink to 7-19 on Friday night at the West Virginia University Coliseum.

Penn State (5-1) won seven of 10 weights, including three by pin and one by disqualification, to dispatch West Virginia, 32-13.

The usually loquacious Turnbull was reduced to one word when asked to assess the Mountaineers’; performance.

“Lousy,” he said.
