Penn State wrestling announces 2012-2013 schedule
Fresh off back-to-back national titles, the Penn State wrestling team announced its schedule for the 2012-2013 season on Monday.
The Nittany Lions will have seven home duals throughout the season, and will also host the Nittany Lion Open on Dec. 2. The defending Big Ten champs begin their conference schedule with a dual against Indiana on Dec. 9. Perhaps the Lions' most difficult stretch will come in early February, when coach Cael Sanderson and co. have four straight road duals -- including a meeting with perennial national championship contender Iowa.
