STATE COLLEGE — On one of the saddest days in the history of Penn State University, the Nittany Lion wrestling team gave the community a brief reason to celebrate.
Mere hours after legendary former football coach Joe Paterno passed away, casting a pall over the community, the Nittany Lions put the Happy back in Happy Valley, at least for a couple of hours.
No. 3 Penn State (8-1, 4-1 Big Ten) battled back from a 12-0 deficit to reel off wins in the final seven bouts to hand No. 2 Iowa (9-3, 4-2) a 22-13 loss in front of sell-out crowd of 6,796 fans in Rec Hall.
