📈 STOCK UP
🔺 Acting Upset. The task of going on the road and playing at No. 4 Maryland didn’t phase No. 24 Penn State women’s lacrosse over the weekend, and the Lady Lions upset the Terps, 12-11!
Penn State fell behind 6-3 after the first quarter and trailed 7-3 at halftime, but a 6-1 advantage in the third quarter tipped the scales. Kristin O’Neill and Gretchen Gilmore both collected hat tricks in the win.
🔺 Home Finale. No. 11 Penn State men’s lacrosse finished its home slate in style on Saturday, beating Michigan 14-8 to move to 8-3 overall and 2-2 in Big Ten play.
Jack Fracyon was the man of the match, recording a career-high 19 saves against the Wolverines. On the scoring end, TJ Malone led the way with five goals and two assists, and Kyle Lehman added a hat trick of his own.
🔺 Taste Of Fall. The White squad picked up a 27-0 win over the Blue squad on Saturday at Penn State football’s annual Blue-White Game presented by Highmark — check out the standouts from the game!
🔺 Winning Weekend. Penn State softball picked up another Big Ten series win this weekend, taking two-of-three against Michigan State to move to 30-9 overall and 9-3 in conference action.

🔺 Conference Champs. For the third season in a row, No. 8 Penn State men’s volleyball is the undefeated EIVA conference champion!
The Nittany Lions took down No. 16 George Mason twice over the weekend to clinch the perfect conference slate and extend its overall conference win streak to 38 matches.

🔺 One Up. Penn State baseball played a roller coaster series at Indiana over the weekend, winning by 11 in Game 1, losing Game 3 by nine runs, and dropping a 10-9 heartbreaker in the middle.
