Both Nolf and Nickal are four-time finalists and three-time NCAA champions. Both also just wrapped up their careers at the NCAA Wrestling Tournament in Pittsburgh this past weekend.
Nolf defeated Nebraska’s Tyler Berger 10-2 in the 157-pound final. Nickal defeated Ohio State’s Kollin Moore 5-1 in the 197-pound final.
Penn State won its eighth national title in the last nine seasons.
