Penn State’s offense exploded in game one against RIT, cruising to a 6-1 win that saw Kevin Wall score two goals.
Game two on the following day wasn’t much different. The Nittany Lions defeated RIT 3-1 to end 2022 on a high note. Freshman forward Alex Servagno scored his first career goal, too.
Penn State is among several Big Ten teams that are also ranked. Minnesota is ranked highest (No. 3), followed by Michigan (No. 7), Ohio State (No. 12), Michigan State (No. 14), and Notre Dame (No. 20).
A little more than halfway through the regular season, Penn State is 17-5-0 overall and 7-5-0 in the Big Ten. The sweep against RIT is Penn State’s fifth of the season and its first since its series against Alaska-Fairbanks in November.
Guy Gadowsky’s team’s next matchup is away at Michigan State on Friday, January 13, and Saturday, January 14. Both teams split the series in Happy Valley in November.
