After a somewhat slow start, the Nittany Lions had an exceptional showing following the intermission.
Despite posting 47 shots on goal, Penn State couldn't come up with a win.
As the middle of January approaches, the Nittany Lions are 12-10 overall and have collected just eight points with a 3-9 record in conference play.
"I am excited to announce I'm returning to the one place I can chase this dream - Penn State - where I will finish my wrestling career as a Nittany Lion."
While Penn State's wrestling program has been widely successful in recent years, only one athlete could make it to the championship on Sunday.
While competing for Central Michigan, Hildebrandt became a two-time All-American, a three-time NCAA Championships qualifier, and a two-time MAC champion at 125 pounds.
