    • The volleyball team continued its impressive win-streak by taking down NJIT 3-1 at home this past weekend. Clemens led with 13 digs and Smith added 45 assists.

    • Men’s tennis dominated both Nebraska and Iowa this week. Hosting Nebraska at home, the men shutout Nebraska in doubles, and won four of the six singles matches. Against Iowa, the team once again dominated in doubles, but were tied 3-3 in singles before finally pulling ahead to clinch the match win.“I am always pleased when you get a win on the road in the Big Ten,” said head coach Jeff Zinn.




    • The women’s track and field squad broke a school record at the Florida Relays. Marissa Sheva (Sellersville, Pa.), Julie Kocjancic (Pittsburgh, Pa.), Frances Bull (Mentor, Ohio), and Danae Rivers (Derby, Conn.) teamed up to achieve the 4x800 in 8:38.17. The previous record, set in 2011, is 8:39.44




    • Softball (13-19, 1-4) saw success at its Big Ten home opener, splitting the series with Nebraska. Mollie Sorensen (Stevenson Ranch, Calif.) and Tori DuBois (Mt. Vernon, N.H.) led the team to success, adding three hits each. Shelby Miller (Sugar Land, Texas) created the sole run of the game on a sacrifice fly. Madey Smith (Washington, N.J.) and Marlaina Laubach (Northampton, Pa.) shared in the success of the win on the mound.




Great job to all Blue and White teams, and good luck this week in all competitions!

    Prove It

    In the end, despite the disappointment, Penn State proved they could absolutely go toe to toe #1 Oregon. Had the Nittany Lions played cleaner, the outcome may well have been in our favor. Our team never stopped battling, not even when they were down 28-10. They could have let Oregon put the game away at that point, but they proved their resilience and their right to belong among the best in the nation.
