The Nittany Lions move up three spots from No. 14 last week.
Three players earned their first career goals for Penn State in the team's match against Illinois on senior day.
The Wolverines swept the Nittany Lions to give them their first loss of the season Saturday night.
Four turnovers, a pair of sacks, and a second-half shutout masks the sour taste left by the team's second quarter.
Despite a nearly disastrous second quarter, Penn State stayed cool and came away with a victory, which is never guaranteed.
The Doylestown, Pennsylvania native kicked three punts that were downed inside the 20-yard line in Saturday's game.
