Penn State wrestling finishes its 2022-2023 dual meet season today. The No. 1 and Big Ten regular season champion Nittany Lions host Clarion this afternoon. It’s Senior Day for head coach Cael Sanderson’s side, and Rec Hall will be packed for the match.

While departing members of the roster will be honored before the match, don’t expect significant lineup changes due to the celebration.

“You want to throw the seniors out there if you have the chance but unfortunately, that’s not really how it works,” Sanderson said back on Tuesday. “We’re getting ready for the national tournament. That’s our focus and our purpose. If it works for a senior, great, and if not, that’s kind of how it goes. We love our seniors. But at this point, it’s about preparation for the national tournament.”

Projected Lions-Eagles lineups

As always, these can and likely will change before or during the match. But, here are the projections as things currently stand:

25 pounds: Gary Steen, Penn State vs. Joey Fisher, Clarion

133 pounds: No. 1 Roman Bravo-Young, PSU vs. Mason Prinkey, Clarion

141 pounds: No. 5 Beau Bartlett, Penn State vs. Seth Koleno, Clarion

149 pounds: No. 13 Shayne Van Ness, PSU vs. Kyle Schickel, Clarion

157 pounds: No. 8 Levi Haines, PSU vs. Trevor Elfvin, Clarion

165 pounds: No. 9 Alex Facundo, Penn State vs. Cam Pine, Clarion

174 pounds: No. 1 Carter Starocci, PSU vs. John Worthin, Clarion

184 pounds: No. 1 Aaron Brooks, Penn State vs. No. 21 Will Feldkamp, Clarion

197 pounds: No. 3 Max Dean, PSU vs. Ty Bagoly, Clarion

285 pounds: No. 2 Greg Kerkvliet, Penn State vs. Austin Chapman, Clarion

What will the top bout be?

The Eagles will put their best effort on display. But, head coach Keith Ferraro’s team is significantly overmatched up and down the lineup. We’ll be curious to see if Aaron Brooks gives way to Donovan Ball at 184 pounds. If so, his matchup opposite No. 21 Will Feldkamp could be a doozy. If not, Brooks will roll.

Beyond that possibility, Cam Pine is 21-5 but not ranked at 165 pounds. Because of that fact, expect him to give No. 9 Alex Facundo his best shot. That could make for a fun match.

Finally, we’ll be looking for Gary Steen to close the season out with a win opposite Joey Fisher. It would be a big confidence booster entering the Big Ten tournament, which is March 4-5 in Ann Arbor, Mich.
