🔺 All The Way Back. Reese Laubach scored a goal for Penn State men’s hockey in the second period against Army to cut the Black Knights’ lead to 6-3. And then Ryan Kirwan scored two goals in a row. And then Christian Berger scored. And then Aiden Fink.

By the time the final horn blared, the Nittany Lions had completed the largest comeback in program history in a 7-6 win to earn their 10th win of the season!

🔺 Down, Not Out! A 14-point deficit proved to be nothing for Penn State men’s basketball against Michigan on Sunday at the Palestra in Philadelphia, as the Nittany Lions came storming back in the second half to win 79-73.

Penn State put together a 19-5 run to flip the script of the game that featured eight straight points from D’Marco Dunn, including a three-pointer to give the Nittany Lions the lead.

🔺 Road Rout. A cross-country flight did nothing to slow down No. 1 Penn State wrestling over the weekend, as the Nittany Lions won nine of 10 matches against No. 18 Oregon State in a dominant 36-3 win!

🔺 Bounced Back. How did Penn State women’s hockey respond to losing a 2-1 OT game against Union on Friday night?

The Nittany Lions exploded for six goals, including the first of Karolina Hengelmüller’s career, in a 6-2 win to move to 12-9-1 on the season!

🔺 Night To Remember. Where were you during the John Kerr Match?!

After tallying only five kills for No. 6 Penn State men’s volleyball over the first two sets against No. 16 Lewis on Saturday, Kerr exploded for 26 more over the final three, hitting .417 and also adding career-highs in digs (9) and aces (4).
