After Casey Bailey tied the game with five seconds left, David Goodwin beat Michigan goaltender Zach Nagelvoort on a 2-on-1 in OT to seal the 5-4 win for Penn State.
With so many issues getting spectators in and out of the BJC in recent years, for 2014, THON has implemented a new wristband system. Each person entering the Bryce Jordan Center, including Captains and committee members, is required to have a wristband.
[Time lapse] Watch as the BJC turns into the colorful spectacle that is THON.
If there's one thing that sets great cover bands apart from their less-gifted counterparts, it's whether or not the singers can, well, sing. Fortunately for Lenina Crowne, the vocalists -- Eric Faust (lead vocals) and Blake Gifford (singer-songwriter) -- more than proved their worth tonight in this indie-folk-rock band's first ever performance at THON.
Everyone know that THON was started and is supported by the Greek community at Penn State (it's the IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, after all). But what about business fraternities?
Anybody involved in THON knows what it's like to beg for donations. For months we've stood on street corners, sent letters, held fundraisers all in the hopes of raising more money for the kids. But what about the other details that go into THON weekend? Who begs for the streamers, the balloons, the aspects that are often overlooked? A small committee of 22 captains and 1 director has that covered. All year long the Supply Logistics committee contacts vendors in the hopes that they'll be willing to supply kind donations--items other and money and food--that are instrumental in running THON weekend.
