B—The Daily Collegian Monday, Dec. 8, 1980 anrahan takes. only Lion title in PSU'lnvitatio'h..6( By JEFF SCHULER Daily Collegian Sports Writer Penn State advanced only one wrestler to the finals of the eighth annual Penn State Invitational Wrestling Tournament, but that one made the most of his opportunity as John Hanrahan repeated as the 167-Ib. champion in the 16-team event. Tonight it's back to the dual meet trail for the Lions, as Michigan, fresh from an impressive showing in the tourna ment, invades Rec Hall for an 8 p.m. match with 0-1 Penn State. While Hanrahan was the Lions' only finalist in the tourna ment, Penn State also picked up two third places and two con solation championships. Bernie Fritz (142) and Andy Bingaman (177) were the third-place finishers, while Carl DeStefanis (118) and Joel Johnson (190) battled back to win consolation titles. Bob Bury had advanced to the quarterfinals at 134, but a knee injury forced him to default to Harry Barnabae of North Carolina. Barnabae went on to lose the championship match to Clar Anderson of Auburn, 5-0, in overtime. Hanrahan, who was tested only once (a 5-4 win over Bob Kyff of Auburn in the semifinals), controlled the final from the opening whistle against Bucknell's Steve Greenly, eventually winning 16-7. "I really wanted it (the second straight title)," Hanrahan said. "I wanted to control the final and leave no second doubts as to who was better." The junior from Falls Church, Va., went right after Greenly in the first period, taking him down three times while compil ing a 1:15 riding time advantage. Hanrahan got one more takedown in the second period, then controlled the final period, ending with a three-minute time advantage. "That may have been one of the best matches I've seen John wrestle here at Penn State," Lion coach Rich Lorenzo said. "He's usually a very spurty wrestler. Tonight he was tough all the way throughout the match." Hanrahan said the tournament may have helped the Lions ment. The tournament helped to prove ourselves, both to us shake off the negative effects of Thursday night's loss to Cal and to the fans. 't)bly,. . "As the match progressed on Thursday, everyone entered "I think we handled the downfall pretty well," he said. "We into their own phase of individual depression.

"Cal Poly may have been a hard way to open the season," he added, "but I think it may have paid off here at this tournament." As for his own performance against the Mustangs, a 9-7 loss to Tim Vaughn, Hanrahan offered no excuses, but did offer a possible explanation as to the sudden turnaround. ~y F aO -^ "I'm a very tournament-oriented wrestler;" he said. "You get the individual recognition in wrestling thrpugh thqse tour naments, and I look to peak for them." But tonight, Hanrahan and the rest of the Lions return to the" dual meet grind.

"The freshmen put 1 1 on a hell of a show. Our team won all three matches, and we had a barn stormer with George Mason, winning 19-13 that sure was a rough one." The Lions' toughest match came from George Mason as they were fac ed with an uphill battle during the en tire meet even though the foil and sabre squads managed to score enough points to put the Lions over the top.

Scott Hollenbeck and Marc Watts posted 1-2 records while Todd Nathan was 0-1 and Marty Simowitz was 0-2. "Epee collapsed," Garret said. "It is possible that they were a little too high and a little too confident against George Mason. They all collectively collapsed. We do have a better epee team than the scores indicate. Hopefully we can rectify this problem in the months to come." Everybody contributed to the Lions' easy win over Maryland. In foil it was Rothenberg (3-0), Papp (2-0), Jim Barnett (2-0) and B.alestracci (2-0); in epee it was Hollenbeck (2-1), Watts (3-0) and Nathan (2-0); and in sabre it was Lear (2-1) and Vandermark (3-0).
