Although a rain delay may have put a damper on the initially large audience, the Penn State Men's Soccer team defeated Hartford Monday night at Jeffrey Field, 3-2.

The ARWU is often used when it comes to, frankly, showing off. Plenty of schools use it as their legitimate ranking in speaking with media or simply letting future students know how great their school is. Let's face it, saying you go to one of the top 50 schools on the planet sounds pretty awesome.
Let's show those guys at ESPN, and the hundreds of schools entered, that we're still #1. We've never lost the pride in our school, and we never will. As of right now, we're in 2nd place. Keep the votes coming, because, let's face it, we've got power in numbers.
As an avid Penn State fan, I know that it's a tough feeling when we see one of our own leave, in any sport, whether they graduate, get injured, or end up transferring. Sometimes it's just sadness because you're going to miss them. Sometimes it's sympathy because you wish they could play, but their injury leaves them on the sidelines. Lately, though, it's been pure anger because we feel betrayed.
We've got to learn to let go.
