Top-ranked Nittany Lions set new Division I win streak record; Second-ranked Buckeyes handle third-ranked Cyclones in Nashville
Manheim, Pennsylvania – A major college record that stood since the early 1950s fell over the weekend as top-ranked Penn State improved to 6-0 and won the program’s 77th dual meet in a row at the Journeymen Collegiate Duals in Nashville, Tennessee.
Penn State (6-0) shutout North Dakota State and then-No. 23 Stanford and remained atop the most recent NWCA Division I Men’s Coaches Poll released on Tuesday. The Nittany Lions are now tied with Division II St. Cloud State for the longest win streak in NCAA wrestling history. The Nittany Lions can take hold of the NCAA mark on January 10 at Rec Hall when they host Rutgers.

Fifth-ranked Oklahoma State added another ranked win with a 22-12 victory over No. 6 Nebraska in Lincoln. The dual drew 7,094 fans, setting a new home attendance record for the Huskers. Nebraska picked up a ranked win on Friday, defeating then-No. 16 North Carolina 27-9. North Carolina would pick up a solid win on the road in Cedar Falls, beating then No. 12 Northern Iowa 19-13.

NCAA D1 Wrestling Week 8 Roundup: 2nd Semester-ers
The world’s finest collection of noteworthy happenings from the 8th week of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 wrestling season.
Merry Christmas from the Caption Hotel in Nashville, where I am currently filling the lobby with the pitter-patter of little fingertips as I type out the latest roundup of noteworthy happenings from the 8th week of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season!
Week 7 Rankings | Week 8 Box Scores
Roundups: Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7
I’m going to be totally real with everyone: It’s already 9:00pm on Sunday night, and I’m just now starting the Roundup. As such, it’s going to be a very truncated edition, due in part (although this is not an excuse!) to me leaving for Nashville on Friday and then being enmeshed with the Journeymen Collegiate Duals almost exclusively since then.
So consider it your Christmas gift to me to not give me a hard time this week for leaving out some noteworthy happening that you, the wise and learned fan, thought should have been included. I’m sure I will agree with you that the omission was regrettable!
I will make it up to you next Monday, when there will be literally no NCAA D1 wrestling to round up, with something special, the likes of which I will determine in the interim.
With that housekeeping out of the way, let us turn our attention to…
The Dual of the Century of the Week
Cowboys Spoil the Huskers Record-Setting Crowd
Nebraska hosted North Carolina on Friday and were victorious to the tune of 27 to 9. Sunday, however, was a different story, as most of the 7,094 fans in the Devaney Center left disappointed due to Oklahoma State placing the proverbial lump coal in the stocking by beating the home team 22-12. Still, that crowd, plus having a raised stage, and a national audience on the Big Ten Network, in addition to all the star power on the mat, is enough to earn the DotCotW this week.
#2 Sergio Vega pinning #3 Brock Hardy in the first period set the Cowpokes up for the dub. Antrell Taylor, Chris Minto and Silas Allred all got top ten wins for Nebraska, but it would not enough, especially with Nebraska being without the services of AJ Ferrari. … more at … https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/15042666-ncaa-d1-wrestling-week-8-roundup-2nd-semester-ers
NCAA DI Rankings Updated (12/23/2025)
After a record-setting Journeymen Collegiate Duals for Penn State, the Nittany Lions have once against put some distance between themselves and #2 Ohio State. Much of the online chatter around the team rankings focused on the fact that we were conservative regarding true freshman Marcus Blaze and PJ Duke. That was true; however, the main reason Penn State came back to the pack was because top-ranked Josh Barr missed the first month and a half of the season. Barr is back and takes his spot atop the 197 lb weight class. Blaze and Duke also get their first wins over returning All-Americans and have climbed into the top-five at their respective weights. … more at … https://intermatwrestle.com/articles.html/college/ncaa-di-rankings-updated-12232025-r100717/
Men’s College Notebook: Penn State Snaps Dual-Meet Record, Ohio State and Oklahoma State notch top-10 wins
Penn State Breaks 74-Year-Old Record
Not only did Penn State set a new DI team record, but they also did it in style. With a pair of wins at the Journeymen Collegiate Duals, the Nittany Lions won their 76th and 77th consecutive duals, breaking the record set by Oklahoma State in 1951.
In Nashville, Penn State shut out both North Dakota State (46-0) and then #23 Stanford (42-0). The last Penn State dual loss was January 31, 2020, at Iowa (19-17).
Nittany Lion Freshmen Shine
There was a lot of discourse this week on social media about ranking true freshmen—predictions versus season results. One thing is for sure, a pair of freshmen in the Penn State starting lineup will be national title threats come March.
Both Marcus Blaze and PJ Duke earned top-10 wins in the Stanford dual. At 133 pounds, Blaze earned a fall over 2025 All-American #6 Tyler Knox (he was up 12-2 at the time). At 157 pounds, Duke downed 2024 All-American Daniel Cardenas, 5-2.
Blaze (10-0) and Duke (9-0) are both undefeated through the first couple of months in their collegiate careers.
Barr’s Season Debut
Returning NCAA finalist Josh Barr made his season debut for Penn State at 197 pounds. He was a perfect 2-0 on the day, as both of his matches ended in the second period via technical fall. His first bout was a 19-3 tech over North Dakota State’s Devin Wasley. In his second bout of the day, Barr scored a dominant, 19-3, tech fall over #20 Angelo Posada of Stanford. In the bout, Barr reeled in five takedowns and a turn before ending the match early in the second period.
Ohio State Reigns Supreme
For the fifth time this season, Ohio State racked up a top-10 win. Even more impressive, the Buckeyes 21-13 win over #3 Iowa State was their third top-5 victory in the first two months of the season. Ohio State once again dominated in the first half of the dual, winning four of the first five bouts to take a 15-3 lead midway through the dual after … more at … https://www.themat.com/news/2025/december/22/men-s-college-notebook-penn-state-snaps-dual-meet-record-ohio-state-and-oklahoma-state-notch-top-10-wins

16 members of the Pack saw action across the three duals, with the highlight being the addition of Patrick Brophy at 197 lbs. Making his debut in the red and white, he went 3-0 on the day, which included competition against his former team, The Citadel.

Penn State Sets DI Dual Winning Streak at Collegiate Duals
On a Saturday night in Nashville, Tennessee, the top-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions posted two shutout wins to etch their program’s name in the collegiate wrestling record books. The second win of the day, a 42-0 blanking of #19 Stanford, was the 77th straight dual meet win for Cael Sanderson’s program. That 77 number is a DI record. The previous mark was held by the Oklahoma State team from 1937 to 1951. Penn State’s last dual meet loss occurred against the University of Iowa on January 31, 2020.
Other good news for Nittany Lion fans on Saturday was the return of 2025 NCAA finalist Josh Barr at 197 lbs.

Memorable victories in Penn State wrestling’s record-setting dual win streak
Penn State is coming off a shutout victory over Stanford, breaking Oklahoma State’s 74-year record of 76 consecutive victories, earning win No. 77 over the Cardinals. Throughout the win streak, the Nittany Lions created many memorable moments and victories, holding the No. 1 spot for a majority of the streak. Here are a few of those memorable moments during Penn State’s historic stretch.
Start of the streak
There’s no better way to start than the first win of the 77. Entering the match, Penn State had two No. 1-ranked wrestlers in Vincenzo Joseph and Mark Hall, a No. 2-ranked wrestler, Nick Lee, and a No. 3-ranked wrestler, Roman Bravo-Young.
Those four combined for 22 points towards the dual, with Joseph and Hall recording falls, and Lee and Bravo-Young notching tech falls.
In front of a sold out Rec Hall, the Nittany Lions cruised to a 40-3 victory, with No. 15 Seth Nevills closing things out with a tech fall at heavyweight. It’s been a one-sided matchup between Penn State and the Terrapins throughout Cael Sanderson’s coaching tenure.
