Binghamton vs. Penn State

Penn State defeated Binghamton 52-0 on December 22, 2024; location was not provided. The dual was built on bonus-point finishes, with Penn State recording eight bonus wins en route to a shutout.

A couple of performances stood out. Luke Lilledahl put together a dominant technical fall, winning 19-4 at 125 pounds and securing five team points. Levi Haines also picked up a technical fall, blanking his opponent 18-0 at 174 pounds. In the upper weights Greg Kerkvliet closed the night with a fall at 285, and Carter Starocci added a pin at 184, both delivering six-team-point bonuses that swung the scoreboard emphatically in Penn State’s favor.

Beyond those decisive bouts, Penn State mixed majors, tech falls and pins across the lineup to prevent any momentum for Binghamton. Beau Bartlett’s 14-2 major decision and Josh Barr’s 19-4 technical fall provided additional bonus points and depth to the scoring punch. The accumulation of extra-team points, rather than a single marquee matchup, made the difference.

The final 52-0 margin reflected a comprehensive performance by Penn State’s lineup, where consistent bonus scoring kept Binghamton off the board throughout the dual.
