Sauber: This begins the steamrolling for Penn State in this dual. Van Ness fell to Nebraska’s Ridge Lovett, 10-2, and is in need of a win to get himself back on track. Unfortunately for Clark, he’s in the way of that this week. It would be a surprise if the Nittany Lion doesn’t rack up bonus points in this one. Prediction: Van Ness by fall.

Shawver was the only Scarlet Knight to win a bout in last season's 35-3 defeat to the Nittany Lions at Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center. Rutgers will wrestle hard and well. It usually does wrestle well against Penn State, but Penn State is so good, the final score will probably not reflect that.

The Princeton and Rider wrestling rivalry has become a good one – not just because the two programs have consistently contended for national rankings and they are geographically less than nine miles apart – but they’ve matched up well in recent years.
