**Surprising: Penn State Wrestling Sets Big Ten Record**
In an unexpected turn of events, the Penn State Nittany Lions wrestling team has set a new Big Ten Conference record, extending their dual-match winning streak to an impressive 70 consecutive victories. The historic achievement came as a surprise to many, as the Nittany Lions surpassed Iowa’s longstanding record of 69 straight wins.
The latest victory that secured this milestone was against Illinois on February 16, 2025, where Penn State triumphed with a commanding 29-9 scoreline. This remarkable performance not only added another win to their streak but also clinched the Big Ten regular-season title for the fifth consecutive year.
While Penn State’s streak is currently second in Division I history, behind Oklahoma State’s 76 consecutive dual victories, their dominance within the Big Ten has been undeniable. The record-breaking win solidifies Penn State’s position as one of the most formidable programs in collegiate wrestling under head coach Cael Sanderson’s leadership.
With their continued success, Penn State looks poised to further challenge national records, making their next matches even more exciting for fans and competitors alike.
