The United World Wrestling Junior World team trials had a distinct Penn State flavor on Sunday in Irving, Texas, and an incoming Nittany Lion recruit defeated a future teammate to make the team.

Mark Hall, a six-time state champion from Minnesota, defeated Penn State's NCAA runner-up Jason Nolf 10-0 and 10-6 in the best-of-three finals series at 74kg/163.

Hall wrestled only in the finals, awaiting the challenge winner, Nolf, who defeated Joe Smith of Oklahoma State (10-0), Logan Massa of Michigan (6-5) and teammate Vincenzo Joseph (5-2).

One of Joseph's victories was over Anthony Valencia of Arizona State.

Penn State's Bo Nickal also made the finals at 86kg but lost 10-0 and 2-1 to Zahid Valencia, also an Arizona State redshirt. Nickal, an NCAA runner-up at 174 pounds, won three matches to gain the finals.

Penn State's 2016-17 squad possibly was affected in a negative way on Saturday when Anthony Cassar, a frontrunner for the 197-pound job next season, suffered another shoulder injury while wrestling in the second round. Cassar had recovered from a shoulder injury and subsequent surgery after an international competition.

The extent of this particular injury is unknown.

Other Junior World team members are Spencer Lee of the Young Guns Wrestling Club, Daton Fix of Oklahoma, Seth Gross of Minnesota, Alec Pantaleo of Michigan, Kollin Moore of Ohio and Jordan Wood, a Lehigh recruit from Boyertown. One of Wood's victories was over Drexel's Joey Goodhart of Hempfield.
