Greg Wagner sprang off the mat and pumped his fist in the air toward his coaches and teammates.

The Michigan heavyweight had just done what nobody else had been able to do all year -- beat Pat Cummins in a match that counted. Cummins lost last week to No. 1 Tommy Rowlands of Ohio State at the NWCA All-Star Classic, but the match did not count against his record because it was only an exhibition. Yesterday, Wagner, who is ranked No. 5 in the country, beat No. 2 Cummins 3-2 to tarnish his perfect 31-0 record.

Penn State (12-4, 4-2), ranked No. 10 in the country, did win the dual meet however, beating No. 5 Michigan (14-3, 4-1) 21-19 at Rec Hall. The Nittany Lions went 3-0 on the weekend, also beating Northwestern 42-3 Friday night and Lock Haven 26-11 last night.

"I'd like to be a little more excited," Penn State wrestling coach Troy Sunderland said after the Michigan match. "The loss at heavyweight kind of sends our fans home with their heads down. I'm happy the team won but the other side of that is disappointment for Pat losing to Wagner."

Both heavyweights were only able to notch points off escapes for the first two periods in the match. In the second, it seemed as though Cummins would score a takedown, as he had Wagner's leg lifted with both wrestlers on their feet. Wagner fought off the attack, however, and scored a takedown of his own in the third period to notch the 3-2 victory.

The Lions lost to Michigan earlier this season, 21-17, at the National Dual Team Championships. However, yesterday the Wolverines wrestled without No. 2 Foley Dowd at 133 pounds and No. 8 Ryan Churella at 149 pounds. The two wrestlers didn't make the trip to Happy Valley because they were battling the flu.

The last time Michigan and Penn State faced off, Moore was battling the flu and he lost his match to Dowd 4-2 in overtime. Churella defeated Penn State's Matt Storniolo in overtime 6-5 in the same match.

Eric Bradley, who went 3-0 on the weekend, said Storniolo and Moore were looking forward to wrestling Michigan's starters.

"They were disappointed because they both wanted to wrestle those guys," Bradley said. "As a wrestler, any time you lose, it's personal. You want revenge."

Storniolo, Moore and DeWitt Driscoll joined Bradley in going 3-0 on the weekend. Storniolo, ranked No. 11 in the country at 149 pounds, defeated No. 7 Mike Maney of Lock Haven 2-1 yesterday in the meet's most anticipated match. Storniolo also pinned Northwestern's Josh Ballard and gained a technical fall against Jeremiah Tobias of Michigan.

Moore meanwhile pinned all three of the wrestlers he faced, giving him 21 falls on the year and 50 for his career. While Moore already owns the all-time career falls record at Penn State, the mark of 21 in a season ties the record set by his brother Scott last year.
