🔺 Nice On The Ice. Penn State men’s and women’s hockey both had fantastic weekends!

The men finished up their first-ever sweep of Ohio State in front of a sold-out crowd during a White Out game, winning both games against the Buckeyes, 4-3.

The Lady Lions had the same sweep result, but with far less drama — Penn State outscored Lindenwood 16-2 over two games.

🔺 Wholly Dominant Performance. Penn State women’s basketball took down Maryland at home on Sunday, 112-76, and where do we even begin?

The win was the Lady Lions’ first over the Terps since December 3, 2003, the 112 points are the most ever given up by Maryland, Penn State shot 62% from the field and from deep, and made 16 of its shots from deep, and we could go on!

🔺 Took Care Of Business. No. 1 Penn State wrestling traded wins with Maryland through four matches on Sunday, but rattled off six straight wins to close out the dual and win, 42-6.

The Nittany Lions tallied four pins — Mitchell Mesenbrink (165 pounds), Carter Starocci (174), Bernie Truax (184) and Greg Kerkvliet (285).

🔺 Tale Of Two Halves. Penn State men’s basketball took a 45-31 lead into halftime against Minnesota on Saturday, but the Gophers came storming back to win, 83-74.

Ace Baldwin Jr. led the way in scoring for the Nittany Lions with 16 points, followed by Qudus Wahab (15), Kanye Clary (11) and Nick Kern Jr. (11).

🔺 No. 1 Goes Down Again. For the second time in four days, No. 9 Penn State men’s volleyball took down Ohio State, the No. 1 team in the nation!

Sunday’s win came with more drama, as the Nittany Lions clawed all the way back from a two-set deficit to earn the big win.

🔺 On The Court. Penn State men’s tennis bounced back after falling to Toledo in its opening match of the weekend, beating Temple 4-3 on Sunday to earn the weekend split.
