It was a good sports weekend for Penn State in places other than just Iowa City. Several programs won, and the women's soccer team clinched its fifteenth consecutive regular season conference championship. A review of all the teams in action can be found below.
This is the first installment of a five-part series that will take a look back at the most memorable Penn State-Ohio State games since the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten in 1993. Hopefully this serves as both an informative and entertaining way to get you pumped up for Saturday. Each day, we will provide a short recap of the selected game, and brief interviews with a few fans who were in attendance. Today, the 2001 contest in which the Nittany Lions beat the Buckeyes 29-27, is featured.
PSU Votes will be hosting a screening for the final presidential debate, focusing on foreign policy, in the HUB tonight, with a discussion hosted by Sociology professor Sam Richards after the screening. As an added bonus, students who attend will get a chance to write the headline for the story that will accompany the article about the debate that will be picked by Onward State staffers.
The Penn State Women's Volleyball Team (20-1, 10-0 Big Ten) defeated the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor over the weekend (25-19, 25-18, 21-25, 22-25, 15-10), extending their winning streak to a season-high 14 games.
The Penn State Men's Hockey team is an even 2-2-0 after their second weekend of Division 1 play. The Nittany Lions played two away games this weekend, traveling to New York to face both the the Buffalo State Bengals and the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers.
After being at Penn State for seven weeks, I've explored most of campus. However, one place remained a mystery to me: the third floor of the Hub. When I finally made it up there, my predictions of what it held were nothing like its reality.
