When teammate Tim Haas went down with a knee injury early in the 2007-08 campaign, red-shirt freshman Mike Eagen stepped into the role as Penn State[apos]s starting 133 pounder and acquitted himself very well. The talented New Jersey native wrestled in four duals for the Nittany Lions and picked up his first career dual meet win against Lehigh in early December. Eagen will head into the 2008-09 season once again looking to earn time in Penn State[apos]s line-up and add experienced depth to Penn State[apos]s lower weights.
