For the second consecutive week, the Navy wrestling team will battle a team that currently resides inside of the top 10 in the national rankings. The Mids, who opened the season last week with a pair of wins against Fresno State and California Baptist against a loss to No. 6 Wisconsin, will rekindle their series with defending National Champion Penn State (0-0) when the two programs square off on Sunday (2:00 pm) at Rec Hall in State College, Pa.

Additionally, Navy will send a handful of wrestlers to compete at the East Stroudsburg Open, also on Sunday, beginning at 9:00 am.
