Over the weekend, the No. 9 men's lacrosse team (6-1) renewed two of its oldest rivalries against Drexel and Lafayette. Every year since 1942 and 1927, respectively, these two teams have played dual roles as both the Lions' oldest rivals and Lions' yearly whipping boys. This weekend proved times never change.

There had been talk about the seniors -- that their performances would dictate the direction of any Lady Lion basketball game.
Netmen double up Indiana
Penn State men's tennis coach Jan Bortner has been preaching it all season long. He has been drilling into his players' heads the importance of winning the doubles point.

Lady sluggers turn away St. Peter's in action-packed two-game sweep

Gymwomen's best falls short
After an uninspired first rotation and a fall on the first routine of the second event, it looked like it would be a long night for the women's gymnastics team. It wasn't.

Lady laxers spread scoring, win pair

Netmen double up Indiana
Penn State men's tennis coach Jan Bortner has been preaching it all season long. He has been drilling into his players' heads the importance of winning the doubles point.

Abe snags grapplers' lone title
All season long, the senior trio of 126-pounder Sanshiro Abe, 142-pounder John Hughes, and 150-pounder Russ Hughes have been the leaders of the Penn State wrestling team.
