This is the second consecutive year Penn State defeated Oklahoma State in the Dual Championship. The Nittany Lions beat the Cowboys 29-18 in Rec Hall on Feb. 21, 2016.

Penn State’s last dual meet loss came on Feb. 15, 2015, when the Lions fell to the Cowboys 21-18 in Stillwater. Since then, Penn State is 31-0.

Next up for the Nittany Lion wrestling team is the Big Ten Championships, which start March 4 in Bloomington, Ind.
