🔺 Rivalry Renewed. We made it. Penn State football is back. The Nittany Lions host West Virginia tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. under the lights in Beaver Stadium!

The Nittany Lions visit Cal (0-3) tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Berkeley, before heading to Palo Alto on Sunday for a matchup versus Stanford (0-2) at 3 p.m. ET.

🔺 Tournament Time. Penn State women’s volleyball will host the Penn State Invitational this weekend at Rec Hall, with Western Kentucky, Colgate and James Madison in town to compete.

The Nittany Lions will play Western Kentucky (3-1) on Friday, Colgate (2-1) on Saturday and James Madison (2-1) to wrap up play on Sunday.

🔺 Late Goal Wins It. It took 88 minutes, but No. 6 Penn State women’s soccer eventually got the goal it needed in a 1-0 win over UCF on Thursday night.

Payton Linnehan assisted Mieke Schiemann on the play, and the Nittany Lions went home happy shortly after.

The meet is the first of the year, and precedes the Spiked Shoe Invitational, which Penn State will host a week from today in Happy Valley.
