🔺 Up At The Top. Top-ranked Penn State wrestling lived up to its ranking during Day 1 of the NCAA Championships, leading the field after one day of competition.

The Nittany Lions are sending eight wrestlers to the quarterfinals, and finished the second session on Thursday night a perfect 10-0.

🔺 Marching On. The drama was present in Penn State women’s basketball’s WBIT First Round game against George Mason on Thursday, with the Lady Lions winning 84-80 in overtime.

Leilani Kapinus registered her fourth double-double of the season, scoring 13 points and pulling down a career-high 15 rebounds.

🔺 B1G Season. You blink, and the non-conference season is over — Penn State baseball hosts Michigan this weekend in its Big Ten opener, beginning today at 5:30 p.m. at Medlar Field.

🔺 Non-Con Gone. Penn State softball also opens up Big Ten play this weekend, hosting Indiana for a three-game series at Nittany Lion Softball Park, beginning today at 5 p.m.

🔺 B1G Time Tennis. You guessed it, Penn State men’s tennis begins Big Ten action this weekend as Illinois travels to Happy Valley for a dual today at 5 p.m.

The Lady Lions are out on the road, traveling to the state of Indiana for a matchup against Purdue tomorrow at noon and Indiana on Sunday at 11 a.m.
