The No. 16 Nittany Lions men's soccer season was stopped short on Sunday night with a 2-0 loss to seventh-seeded New Mexico in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament. Goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton made seven saves in the contest, doing his best to give the offense a chance to win the Sweet 16 matchup, but it wasn't enough as the Lobos blanked the Nittany Lions.

The Nittany Lions ended the season on a high note once again, topping the No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers on the road 31-24. The win clinched another winning season at 7-5 for Bill O'Brien in his second year as Penn State's head coach. Nobody -- including our staff here at Onward State -- expected or predicted an upset victory for the Nittany Lions in Madison on Saturday. After taking some time to digest what went down yesterday afternoon, we handed out some grades to the team for the last time this year.
Penn State battled back from a 3 goal deficit, but eventually fell to Union 4-3.
