Nittany Lion Home Wrestling Dual Against Pitt Moved to 6 p.m. to Air Live on Big Ten Network

Intra-state battle of nationally ranked programs will reach over 70 million homes

                UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; December 7, 2010 – The fifth-ranked Penn State wrestling team’s home wrestling dual with rival Pittsburgh on Jan. 21 has had its start time moved to 6 p.m.  The time change will now allow the Big Ten Network to air the much-anticipated wrestling dual live to over 70 million homes nationwide.

                Penn State and Pittsburgh have a long and storied wrestling rivalry.  The two teams have met 65 times with Penn State owning a 50-12-3 advantage in the series, but the teams wrestled to a 19-19 tie last year in Pittsburgh.  This year’s dual will feature a number of anticipated match-ups of ranked opponents and is also Penn State’s final non-conference dual meet.

                The Nittany Lions, 5-0 this year under the guidance of head coach Cael Sanderson, return to action this Sunday when Lock Haven comes to town for a 2 p.m. dual.  Fans wishing to purchase single dual meet tickets for the LHU dual or the upcoming nationally televised Pitt dual can place their orders by calling 814-865-5555 or by visiting the Bryce Jordan Center ticket office.  The box office is open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.  Ticket pricing is $8 for adults and $5 for youth, and there will be a limit of eight tickets per order.  Group sales are also available.  The 2010-11 Penn State wrestling season is presented by the Family Clothesline. All Penn State events will once again air live on Forever Broadcasting’s WRSC (1390 AM) and WSQV (92.1 FM).  All radio broadcasts are streamed live at GoPSUsports.com as part of the All-Access package.  The 2010-11 Penn State Wrestling season is presented by The Family Clothesline.
