Alton brothers make return to lineup against Nebraska
After serving a suspension for a violation of team rules, the Alton brothers made their return against No.12 Nebraska on Jan. 27.
Both have wrestled as Penn State currently leads the Cornhuskers, 16-6, at the halftime break.
No. 3 Andrew Alton opened up a quick 4-0 lead over No. 12 Jake Sueflohn at 149 pounds, but slowly lost it before being pinned at the 5:33 mark. Sueflohn's pin gave the Cornhuskers their first points of the day, but the Nittany Lions still led 13-6.
In the last bout before the break, No. 6 Dylan Alton found himself locked in a tight battle with No. 4 James Green. The match was tied until Alton picked up a takedown late in the third period for the victory by decision at 157 pounds.
Nico Megaludis started the day off with a victory by forfeit at the 125-pound weight class. Redshirt freshman Jordan Conaway followed up Megaludis and kept the momentum going by picking up a win by major decision to put the Lions up 10-0.
Senior Bryan Pearsall earned a close 2-0 decision to upset Nebraska's No. 19-ranked Ridge Kiley.
David Taylor will lead off the second half of the dual against Nebraska's Tyler Koehn.
