While the weekend didn't go as originally planned for some teams, many other teams earned hard-fought victories. Basketball made its return the the Bryce Jordan Center, highlighted by a record-breaking performance by the Lady Lions on Friday. The #2 ranked women's volleyball team swept their Big Ten opponents, and the men's hockey team remained unbeaten in the new Pegula Ice Arena.
Penn State earned its second victory of the year on Friday night, defeating Sacred Heart 2-1 in a game that the Nittany Lions dominated much more than the score showed. The win kept the Nittany Lions undefeated in the new Pegula Ice Arena.
Penn State, along with the Wells Fargo Center, has been named a finalist to host the Frozen Four in the coming years.
