35 points from Kamaria McDaniel weren't enough to push Penn State past Purdue.
No. 9 Penn State closed its series against Michigan State with their first victory since January 11 against Robert Morris Friday night in East Lansing.
Patrick Khodorenko's hat trick and John Lethemon's stellar goaltending powered the Spartans to a crucial win over the Nittany Lions.
Kudryashova racked up 134 kills in two seasons with the Scarlet Knights.
Lethemon put up a 48-save shutout against Penn State back in November, so in star center Evan Barratt's words, the Nittany Lions "owe him two good games" in East Lansing.
Although this season hasn't exactly gone according to head coach Carolyn Kieger's plans, McDaniel's development may be the silver lining.
