After his 167-pound match, Jason Suter pounded his fist into the mat and looked at his opponent in disbelief. Somehow, West Virginia's Mark Banks had just scored three points in seven seconds.

The three points gave Banks a 5-4 victory and all but put the match out of Penn State's reach. The Lions' bench stood stunned, while West Virginia's exploded into pandemonium.

The win added three points as West Virginia beat Penn State, 20-13, and snapped the Lions' 56-game unbeaten streak against Eastern Wrestling League opponents.

"The win for me was great," Banks said. "I knew I scored three more for us and three less for them. The team win was great. It was the first time that we beat Penn State since I was on the team."

Suter walked off the mat upset and was unavailable for comment. He wrestled an intelligent and well-fought bout against Banks, ranked 10th by Amateur Wrestling News, only to have the victory stolen in the final seconds.

"Jason wanted to win really bad and he wrestled a great match," Coach Rich Lorenzo said. "We got a good effort out of Suter, it just wasn't productive."

Leading 4-2, Suter gave Banks a one-point escape to prevent a match-tying reversal. Without hesitation, Banks dove at Suter's legs for the takedown, sealing the victory at the buzzer.

"I knew I was going to get two," Banks said. "That whole time I was thinking I was going to win."

"That was an ending that shouldn't have happened from Penn State's perspective," Mountaineer coach Craig Turnbull said. "It was really great to see Mark respond in that dire of a situation and say, 'Hey, what the heck, let's go for it,' and come out on top."

Suter took the lead early with a single-leg takedown in the first period. Banks pulled within one with an escape. Banks deferred his choice in the second period, and Suter chose down. Banks controlled Suter for the whole two minutes, but could not garner any points.

"It was a little frustrating because I wasn't getting the points I thought I should be getting," Banks said.

Banks chose the down position in the third period and quickly escaped to tie. With 50 seconds left, Suter went ahead by two with another single-leg takedown.

Suter pushed him away with six seconds left, and when he retreated, Banks caught him on his heels.

"I thought Jason wrestled real well," West Virginia assistant coach Nate Carr said. "I thought he used good strategy; he just couldn't counter Mark's shot."

"When you win at the end of the match like it means the individual really wants it," Lorenzo said. "Our guys got a little tight, a little defensive trying to stay with it, and you can't make those kind of mental errors against a good opponent."
