NOTES

1.  Yes, you're reading that correctly. PSU will host two duals in the Bryce Jordan Center - vs. Wisconsin, and vs. Ohio State.

2. Yes, you're reading that correctly. PSU will be participating in National Duals. This year the Duals will feature 16 teams - the top eight from the Big Ten, and the top eight non-Big Ten squads. It will resemble a "bowl game" showcase/event, rather than a championship tournament, and sounds exactly like what Cody and Cael have suggested in seasons past.

3. Yes, you're reading that correctly. PSU heads to California for the first time since 1997. Cael promised Morgan McIntosh he'd get to wrestle a dual in his home state during Morg's recruitment. Cael delivers on his promises.

4. Yes, you're reading that correctly. PSU wrestles Lehigh for the 103rd time, but in February, rather than November/December.
