The Gophers fell short of a national championship last year, only losing to Penn State.
The No. 1 Gophers came up on top on Sunday, outplaying the No. 6 Nittany Lions 17-16 to remain undefeated in the season.
This is the second consecutive year the Gophers defeated Penn State by one point in the regular season.
“We split [the meet] five to five,” head assistant coach Brandon Eggum said. “There were a lot of tough [matchups], but we were just proud that the guys are continuing every weekend to get out there and finding ways to win.”
