Following a No. 25 ranking in the season’s first USA Today/NWCA/AWN coaches’ poll, the Broncs were visited by No. 1 ranked Penn State, marking the first time a No. 1 ranked team in any sport has traveled to Rider’s campus.
The match against the Nittany Lions served as their toughest test so far this season. Penn State’s well-renowned wrestling program has won the NCAA tournament three seasons in a row, losing only three matches in that span. Coming into the match, Rider and Penn State had met three times, with Rider losing all three by scores of 48-0, 41-0, and 38-3.
