The second-seeded Lady Lions could not hold on to a first half lead and eventually lost to seventh-seeded Hofstra 76-68 in the first round of the WNIT.
Penn State led by as much as nine points before Hofstra took the lead at 29-28 with 2:45 left in the first half. The Lady Lions, led by sophomore Tyra Grant's 14 first-half points, were up 34-33 at half-time.
After the jump: more details on the disappointing game.
Like many of you who may have spent Saint Patrick's Day focusing on your career prospects rather than kicking back and socializing, approximately 20 former Nittany Lion football players were doing the same. But instead of staying in to write a paper or study for an exam, these Penn Staters were running drills.
Casual football fans may not be aware of Pro Day. While the NFL Combine is viewed as the premiere event for college players with professional football aspirations, Pro Day allows each school to host their players - without the limited invitation of the combine - in a familiar environment. Not only is this advantageous to borderline prospects who want to make their case to scouts as an undrafted free agent, but other players can show improvement in the weeks that have passed since the combine.
So how did things turn out for our NFL hopefuls? Analysis can be found after the jump.
Lieutenant Dan Choi was arrested along with Jim Pietrangelo - both are gay Iraq vets who have been discharged from the army (Choi’s is pending) - because of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” The men were taken into Park Police’s Anacostia station on charges of “failure to obey lawful order”—they handcuffed themselves to the White House fence.
Choi is scheduled to speak here this upcoming Wednesday, March 24th in the HUB at 7:30 as a part of Pride Week. As of now, Lt. Choi is still going to speak as planned; his agent said he “should be out soon.” Read on for a video of the arrest and details about Choi's scheduled speaking appearance.
This afternoon, 147 Penn State medical school students experienced a few moments of extreme joy as they found out where they would be spending the next three to four years in relative misery residency programs. Watch their reactions below!
I was browsing some MySpace sites (call me old school) looking for some good tunes, when I came across The Dangerous Summer. In their tour list, Movin' On is definitely listed.
They aren't headliner material, so they will be apparently opening for the festival.
Found other hints of openers or *gasp* the headliner? Post them in the comments.

It's apparent that spring has sprung in Happy Valley, which means when walking the streets, you'll probably notice a little more variety in what people are wearing. I think females have a 6th sense when it comes to when the weather has definitely made a turn for the better, because the day where you see 90% of the girls around town in skirts or shorts is the day where you know its okay to hang up your North Face.
Tuesday was the first significantly nice day in State College, and it's only looking better. Spring brings out a lot of potential wardrobe choices, but make sure you're not just wearing shorts and a t-shirt, or no jacket. Show that you knowit's spring by rocking a variety of colors.
