The move to No. 6 comes after Penn State split its series against No. 1 Minnesota. The Nittany Lions stole a 4-2 away win on Thursday, marking the second week in a row Guy Gadowsky’s team knocked off the No. 1 team in the country. Penn State couldn’t complete the sweep on Friday, as the Golden Gophers won 3-1.
Penn State came into the series holding a one-point lead over Minnesota for first place in the Big Ten, with Michigan State not far behind. The Spartans swept Ohio State, meaning they now hold first place with the Nittany Lions trailing one point behind.
Penn State is among several other Big Ten teams that are ranked. Minnesota dropped to No. 2, along with Michigan (No. 3), Ohio State (No. 12), Michigan State (No. 17), and Notre Dame (No. 20).
The Nittany Lions’ next series is pivotal for conference control, as they host the Spartans at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 18, and at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 19.
