🔺 Home Cookin’. What a weekend it was for Penn State women’s volleyball!

A sweep of Michigan on Friday night at Rec Hall served as the appetizer to a dominant 3-1 win over No. 2 Wisconsin, which had lost only once all season to No. 1 Nebraska to this point!

🔺 Winning Ways. The Mike Rhoades Era of Penn State men’s basketball moved to 2-0 over the weekend with a 74-65 win over Lehigh Friday night.

Tied at the intermission, the Nittany Lions allowed just 27 points in the second half to pull away. Kanye Clary led Penn State with 20 points, while Qudus Wahab scored 11 and grabbed 18 rebounds.

The Nittany Lions mustered 12 shots in the contest, but none found the back of the net. Peter Mangione and Kris Shakes were named to the All-Tournament Team, and Shakes was named the Defensive Player of the Tournament.

Penn State now awaits the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, which is today at 1 p.m.

🔺 And We’re Off. The defending national champion Penn State wrestling program has officially started its title defense, rolling at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic over the weekend.

The Nittany Lions had 20 wrestlers competing, and 11 of them went undefeated.

Six Nittany Lions scored in double figures once again, led by Leilani Kapinus’ 24 points in just 26 minutes.

Penn State is right back out on the court tonight, hosting Kansas at 6 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
