Overview
- The dual begins Saturday at 4 p.m. ET at Rec Hall and airs on Big Ten Network with streaming on Fubo.
- Penn State rides a 77-match Division I dual-meet streak, and a victory would surpass St. Cloud State’s 77 for a new NCAA all-divisions mark.
- Lineup plans at 141 remain unresolved after Aaron Nagao’s medical forfeit, with freshman Nate Desmond or redshirting All-American Braeden Davis possible; Rutgers star Joey Olivieri has been out recently and his status is unclear.
- A featured 174-pound rematch pairs top-ranked Levi Haines against Rutgers’ Lenny Pinto, whom Haines defeated 9–2 last season.
- Rutgers arrives ranked with a 6–2 record and a Midlands team title, while Penn State has dominated early duals and has never lost to the Scarlet Knights in 25 meetings.
