UNIVERSITY PARK — Wrestling fans other than the 6,468 that crowded into a sold-out Rec Hall on Sunday may be deceived when they see that top-ranked Nittany Lion 165-pounder Vincenzo Joseph beat No. 6 Isaiah White, 2-0. Joseph, who hasn’t competed since winning a title at the Southern Scuffle on Jan. 1-2, last met Nebraska’s White in the 2018 NCAA 165-pound quarterfinals. Joseph needed a slick takedown in a second sudden-victory period to pull out a 4-2 win on his way to a second consecutive NCAA championship. On Sunday, Joseph’s win was one of six Penn State notched in pairs of ranked wrestlers, and eight overall, in the Nittany Lions’ 25-6 win over the Cornhuskers.
