It was a certainty that the Penn State women’s basketball team would make the NCAA Tournament. On Monday, the Lady Lions learned that they would face Dayton on Saturday at 11:10 a.m. at the Bryce Jordan Center. Penn State earned the six-seed in the Philadelphia region. Dayton is the 11-seed.
The Nittany Lion baseball team finished up their week taking three games out of four against Norfolk State in back to back doubleheaders. Penn State (10-5) just finished a 10-day spring break road trip winning seven games out of nine. During the trip, the Lions built a five game win streak, the longest streak the squad has had since March of 2008.

I'll admit it. I like beer, a lot. But none of that yellow fizzy crap that seems to be pervasive throughout the college drinking scene. I'm what many would consider a craft beer enthusiast, and while the amount of time that I've been enjoying "good" beer is rather limited, I've come to discover the wonders that can be found in a quality IPA or Outmeal Stout. Thanks to establishments such as Zeno's or the Z-Bar, I've been able to expand my knowledge about craft beer further than I could have imagined before turning 21. But State College is sadly devoid of a location where I could purchase quality beer for home consumption, or should I say was.
