CLEVELAND — Zain Retherford hasn’t spent much time considering his place in the college wrestling world or even his Penn State legacy.

On Friday night, the Nittany Lions senior allowed himself a moment of reverie.

Shortly before his 92nd straight win propelled him into the finals of the NCAA Wrestling Championships — where he’ll try for his third title when the tournament concludes on Saturday — Retherford looked around a packed Quicken Loans Arena.

“Before that match, I think I was kind of pacing out there in the center,” Retherford said. “I was just thinking, this is my second-to-last full-style match I’ll ever get to wrestle in a Penn State singlet. Just make the most of it.”

Retherford (149 pounds) beat North Carolina’s Troy Heilmann 10-4 to spark Penn State’s 5-for-5 performance in the semifinals and cue its surge to the top of the team standings.

The Nittany Lions, who’ve won six of the last seven team titles, also got wins from defending champions Jason Nolf (157), Vincenzo Joseph (165), Mark Hall (174) and Bo Nickal (184) to take a 120 1/2-109 1/2 lead over Ohio State.

It continued the Nittany Lions’ torrid streak of 16 straight semifinal wins in the NCAA tournament since 2015.

Iowa, Michigan and North Carolina State round out the top three with 85 1/2, 73 1/2 and 69 1/2 points, respectively.

The Buckeyes led by double digits after the first three rounds and sent six wrestlers into the semis. But they went just 2-for-6 with 184-pounder Myles Martin and reigning Olympic champion Kyle Snyder (285) advancing to the finals.

Like Retherford, Snyder will also compete for his third title. He’ll face Michigan big man Adam Coon after Snyder beat Duke’s Jacob Kasper 10-5 and Coon edged Oregon State’s Amar Dhesi 4-2 in the semis.

Meanwhile, two former 125-pound champions were bounced in the semis by youngsters making their tournament debuts.

Rutgers sophomore Nick Suriano, who withdrew from last year’s tournament the night before with an injury, became the first NCAA finalist in program history with a 2-0 win over defending champion Darian Cruz of Lehigh. He’ll face Iowa freshman Spencer Lee for the 125-pound title. Lee pinned Tomasello, the 2015 champion, in 6:05.
