UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Nittany Lion wrestling team (8-2, 4-2 Big Ten) won five matches in a tightly-contested dual match against No. 2 Minnesota (10-0, 6-0) inside a packed Rec Hall on Sunday afternoon. But a pair of bonus points for the Gophers proved to be the difference in a 17-16 decision.
After junior Morgan McIntosh knocked off No. 1 Scott Schiller, heavyweight Jimmy Lawson notched a victory to set the score at 17-12 heading into the final bout of the afternoon. Jordan Conaway scored a 13-3 major decision and nearly pinned Minnesota's Ethan Lizak in the final match, but the Lions fell just shy on the final scoreboard.
