38. Jan. 22, 2023: Penn State vs. Michigan State, 34-6

Mendez was one of eight athletes on that 2023 Buckeye team who either had, or would go on to, earn All-American honors.

Sixteen of the 20 athletes who competed in this dual either had or have since earned All-American honors in their careers with seven of those 16 winning national titles. Despite the depth and talent across both programs, Penn State reigned with ease, winning six bouts with three by bonus. Carter Starocci, Aaron Brooks and Greg Kerkvliet led the way with a technical fall and two major decisions respectively against NCAA qualifier Bubba Wilson, All-American Silas Allred and NCAA qualifier Nash Hutmacher.
56. Feb. 25, 2024: Penn State vs. Edinboro, 55-0
While Penn State's dominance via four pins, five tech falls and a forfeit stands out from this dual, the bigger headline from the meeting against the Fighting Scots is that this was the dual where then three-time NCAA champion Carter Starocci injured his knee, just two weeks before he would attempt to make history by winning a fourth national title. Starocci did tech his Edinboro opponent Brody Evans in the first period but then forfeited his two Big Ten tournament bouts before gritting his way through NCAAs and capturing top honors at NCAAs, despite the injury.
57. Nov. 17, 2024: Penn State vs. Drexel, 41-3
Two true freshman, Luke Lilledahl and Cael Nasdeo, made their dual debuts for Penn State against the Dragons, though only Nasdeo had the chance to wrestle, as Lilledahl was awarded a forfeit after an injury to Drexel's starter earlier in the week.

58. Dec. 8, 2024: Penn State vs. Lehigh, 34-3
Three of Lehigh's 10 starters in this dual — Sheldon Seymour, Ryan Crookham and Michael Beard — either had earned or would go on to earn All-American honors. Of the three, only Crookham picked up a W, giving Lehigh its three team points for the night after a 4-1 battle with Penn State's Braeden Davis. Crookham was also the only Mountain Hawk to score a takedown against Penn State, though this would also be Crookham's last varsity dual meet before taking a medical redshirt for the season.
59: Dec. 15, 2024: Penn State vs. Wyoming, 54-0
This win against Wyoming, which included five pins, four techs and a major decision, was Penn State's second-largest margin of victory in history and the second-largest margin of victory in the 77-match win streak. Penn State would tie the program record later in the win streak in a 55-0 win against Michigan State later that season (see No. 63). None of Penn State's individual Cowboy opponents in this dual were ranked higher than 19th.
60. Dec. 22, 2024: Penn State vs. Binghamton, 52-0
Eight of Penn State's 10 matches in this dual ended early. Mitchell Mesenbrink did not wrestle at all, earning a forfeit at 165 pounds, while Shayne Van Ness, Josh Barr and Greg Kerkvliet ended their matches at 149, 197 and 285 pounds in the first period by pin, tech fall and pin. Tyler Kasak and Levi Haines finished their bouts by the end of the second period with a pin and tech fall, respectively, while Luke Lilledahl teched his opponent, Carson Wagner, early in the third period, and Carter Starocci pinned Will Ebert early in the third period as well.
61. Dec. 22, 2024: Penn State vs. Little Rock, 44-0
This win marked Penn State's third straight shutout of the year, and while the score implies yet another dominant win for the Nittany Lions, the individual bouts and the significance of wins at 133 and 197 pounds in particular cannot be overlooked. Braeden Davis' gritty 1-0 win over All-American Nassir Bailey and Josh Barr's 4-1 sudden victory win against All-American Stephen Little showed the "it" factor of those two Penn State underclassman early in the season. Barr would go on to place second at NCAAs while Davis would finish fifth for his first All-American honor.
62. Dec. 22, 2024: Penn State vs. Missouri, 41-3
The big storyline from this dual was Penn State's Levi Haines' bout against Missouri's Keegan O'Toole. The veteran NCAA champion O'Toole earned the win 4-1 in sudden victory to give the Tigers their three points in the dual, but Haines' and O'Toole's talent in that bout generally made it a must-watch event. O'Toole would finish second at NCAAs to Oklahoma State's DJ Hamiti while wrestling on a torn ACL, with Haines taking third.
63. Jan. 10, 2025: Penn State vs. Michigan State, 55-0
Amidst a record-setting stretch for the Nittany Lions, Penn State kept picking up accolades, this time breaking the program standard for most points in a single dual. Greg Kerkvliet, Luke Lilledahl, Shane Van Ness, Tyler Kasak, Levi Haines, Carter Starocci and Josh Barr earned pins while Braeden Davis, Mitchell Mesenbrink notched techs and Beau Bartlett added a major decision.
64. Jan. 17, 2025: Penn State vs. Nebraska, 31-7
Penn State's only losses in this bout came at 133 pounds and 149 pounds, where Jacob Van Dee (who would go on to earn All-American honors at NCAAs) topped fellow eventual All-American Braeden Davis 14-7 and future NCAA champion Ridge Lovett topped All-American Shayne Van Ness 10-2. Both of those matches were considered upsets at the time. Penn State notched an upset of its own when Luke Lilledahl beat All-American Caleb Smith, but, outside of those three matches, each bout went chalk with the Nittany Lions walking away the dominant victors to kick off the 2025 Big Ten schedule.
65. Jan. 24, 2025: Penn State vs. Rutgers, 35-3
Penn State continued to sell out opposing gyms. Seven days after wrestling in front of a record crowd in Nebraska, Penn State dominated the Scarlet Knights in a sold-out Jersey Mike's Arena. Braeden Davis, Levi Haines, Josh Barr and Greg Kerkvliet all earned wins against Rutgers All-Americans in Dylan Shawver, Jackson Turley, John Poznanski and Yaraslau Slavikouski. Rutgers' Dean Peterson was the only Scarlet Knight to earn team points when he beat Penn State's Luke Lilledahl at 125 pounds.
66. Jan. 31, 2025: Penn State vs. Iowa, 30-8
Another day, another record. The Nittany Lions stormed past Iowa in a sold-out Bryce Jordan Center with the most iconic moment of the dual coming at 157 pounds, when Penn State's Tyler Kasak lifted up then-No. 1 Jacori Teemer and pumped his fist to the crowd, a symbol of his victory and new status as the then-topped ranked athlete in the country.
67. Feb. 7, 2025: Penn State vs. Michigan, 39-0
Penn State did not give up a single takedown in its dominant victory over the Wolverines. The biggest win of the evening came when freshman Josh Barr topped All-American Jacob Cardenas 3-2 in tiebreakers to preserve the shutout. Barr would also outpace Cardenas at NCAAs, finishing second to the Wolverine's fourth place.
68. Feb. 9, 2025: Penn State vs. Maryland, 35-10
For the second time in two days, Penn State rolled to a win over a Big Ten foe by over 24 points without giving up a single takedown. Luke Lilledahl, Shayne Van Ness, Mitchell Mesenbrink, Carter Starocci and Josh Barr all earned techs, with Starocci's coming against eventual All-American Jaxon Smith. The other notable moment from the dual was Maryland's Ethen Miller's injury default win over Tyler Kasak, a win that would give Miller the No. 1 seed at Big Tens, though Kasak would ultimately recover from his injury and outplace Miller at NCAAs.
69. Feb. 14, 2025: Penn State vs. Ohio State, 27-13
While Penn State dominated the Buckeyes, the dual started off in Ohio State's favor, as Brendan McCrone earned a statement pin against Luke Lilledahl. Lilledahl, like many of his teammates mentioned previously, would outplace McCrone at NCAAs. Braeden Davis and Beau Bartlett put Penn State back in the driver's seat in this dual with notable wins over Nic Bouzakis and Jesse Mendez, and the Nittany Lions were rolling from there, losing only two other weights in the dual at 157 and 285 pounds with backups wrestling in place of Tyler Kasak and Greg Kerklivet.
70. Feb. 16, 2025: Penn State vs. Illinois, 29-9
The win against Illinois — which came by way of a DQ win from Starocci, a tech fall from Lilledahl, major decisions from Shayne Van Ness Mitchell Mesenbrink and Barr and decisions from Beau Barlett and Levi Haines — locked up Penn State's 11th Big Ten regular season title.
71. Feb. 21, 2025: Penn State vs. American, 50-3
Penn State picked up five falls and four techs against the Eagles with the team's lone loss coming at 133 pounds when American's Raymond Lopez topped Penn State backup Kyison Garcia 9-7.
72. Nov. 14, 2025: Penn State vs. Oklahoma, 45-0
Penn State kicked off the 2025-26 season with its young roster of six underclassmen and made a statement against the Sooners. Freshman Connor Mirasola's top-10 win against DJ Parker 13-3 served as the headline of the dual and highlighted Penn State's depth at 197 pounds where the Nittany Lions also have NCAA finalist Josh Barr in the room.
73. Dec. 5, 2025: Penn State vs. Drexel, 43-4
Penn State brought the heat to Philly, helping the Drexel Dragons sell out the Daskalaskis Athletic Center before demolishing them in nine of 10 bouts. Drexel's only win came at 141 when Jordan Soriano beat Penn State's Cael Nasdeo. Penn State also has Aaron Nagao as an option at 141, and is expected to slot in for Nasdeo.
