Looking at the score, it was easy to tell who was on the road.
One of Greek musician Yanni's most powerful songs is "Until the Final Moment." Unlike most recent games on the road, the Penn State men's basketball team was able to avoid an early deficit. As they had been all season long, consistency and teamwork were the key elements that guided the women of Penn State's ski team to a second-place finish at regional competition in Seven Springs this weekend. The Penn State men's boxing team built on its success from last week's strong home match, going 7-1 at the Lock Haven Invitational on Saturday. With the Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon taking over Rec Hall, the No. 18 Penn State women's gymnastics team (8-5,1-0 Big Ten) had to move to a new home Saturday night. The biggest question on the team's mind was whether or not the fans would come to the Bryce Jordan Center to cheer them on. Sophomore Lady Icer Katie King's brilliant hat trick was the bright spot in a game where the participants on the two teams were picked out of a hat.
A loss to Notre Dame two weeks ago showed the nine-time NCAA champion Penn State fencing team that even it can be vulnerable on any given day. Records are made to be broken. Just ask the Big Ten women's swimming teams. So this is what Penn State men's volleyball coach Mark Pavlik has been talking about all season.

Sean Crosby, Thon chair for Penn State Hazelton Campus, admitted he'd found a way to tell time in the middle of an entirely clock-free Thon. Dancers in the 31st annual Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon broke a record this year as they became the first group to learn the entire line dance in 68 minutes, beating last year's time by 11 minutes. There are many jobs that happen behind the scenes at the Interfraternity/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, and some volunteers had duties that extended well beyond doing the line dance. The most recent challenge for some cast members of MTV's The Real World and Road Rules was the fight against cancer. Sleep is overrated. Dancers at this year's Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon crowded the makeshift runway during the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show, as Four Diamonds Fund children, students, Hilfiger models and Road Rules cast members revealed the company's new spring line to Thon-goers. Five middle school students and their counselor drove nine hours this weekend from a much warmer, drier North Carolina to see the inspiration for their own mini dance-a-thon. For some student organizations, Thon is an opportunity to get involved with campus activities -- but not without a lot of hard work and a hefty price tag. For some newcomers, the revelry in Rec Hall was overwhelming and astonishing when they first stepped onto the floor of this weekend's Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon. After nearly three months, the second annual 2003 Thon Blood Drive has come to an end.
