Up-and-Down Weekend for Penn State Soccer
Both the Men’s and Women’s teams suffered disappointing losses Sunday, with the Lady Lions giving up the most goals during a single game in program history (6) to underdog Virginia.

Not ideal, but I’m sure someone’s mom brought orange slices to make everything better.

Gorman Abruptly Resigns
Head coach of the men’s soccer program Barry Gorman unexpectedly announced his resignation Monday. He leaves a legacy of 22 years of coaching and three Big Ten titles in his wake. Citing “personal reasons,” he has left the team to a nation-wide search for his successor.
“We expected Gorman to be there,” [rising Senior and Co-Captain Andres] Casais said of next season. “He was a father figure to us.”
Oof, that can’t feel good. The move isn’t completely out of the blue, as Gorman was periodically absent during the past few weeks without notice. But from all accounts, his intention to resign was only revealed yesterday. On the abandonment scale, this registers just slightly above “going to the store for some cigarettes and never coming back.”
