📈 STOCK UP
🔺 Put Your Dukes Up. It’s win or go home for Penn State women’s lacrosse today, as the Lady Lions are in College Park, Md. to take on James Madison in an NCAA First Round matchup.
The Dukes and Nittany Lions have seen each other this season, but it’s been a while — the two programs opened up the season with an exhibition in Harrisonburg back on Feb. 3.
In real competition, the series is split 5-5 between Penn State and James Madison, the most recent game a 14-10 Penn State win in 2022.
🔺 Survive And Advance. No. 9 Penn State gets ready to start another run to NCAA Championship Weekend on Sunday, traveling to Washington, D.C. to take on Georgetown in a first round matchup.
This will be the first matchup between the Nittany Lions and Hoyas since 2009, when Penn State won 12-11 in double overtime.
🔺 Late Knight. Penn State baseball is all set to play its final home series of the season this weekend, hosting Rutgers for a three-game set at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
The Nittany Lions still have a shot of getting into the Big Ten Tournament, and this weekend is a good opportunity to make a move up the conference standings — Penn State is currently tied for 10th in the standings, with Rutgers sitting in 12th at 4-14 in Big Ten play.
The top-eight teams in the standings qualify for the Big Ten Tournament.
