PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Penn State, led by 184-pound champion Quentin Wright, won its first NCAA wrestling title in 58 years Saturday night by outpointing Cornell.
The Nittany Lions finished with 107½ points to Cornell's 93½.
Wright began the tournament as the ninth seed and won his first national title with a 5-2 decision over Lehigh's Rob Hamlin.
Nebraska senior Jordan Burroughs, (36-0), one of five wrestlers to finish the tournament undefeated on the year and the first two-time national champ in program history, dominated the 165 weight class. He took the championship match with an 11-3 victory against Oklahoma's Tyler Caldwell.
In the only pin of the night, Arizona State's Bubba Watson, who spent four years at Penn State before he transferred, dispatched Nittany Lions' freshman David Taylor in 4:14 at 157 pounds.
The Iowa Hawkeyes finished third as a team.
