Ice Lions stage comeback for win

Men's swimming falls to Washington

Covering his face with his jersey and dropping to the ground as Indiana's fourth penalty kick settled in the net, Penn State goalkeeper Matt Novchich displayed a spectrum of emotions -- sadness, madness and frustration -- which seemed to sum up the Nittany Lions' entire season.

Well over a dozen players were crammed into the penalty-box awaiting Penn State's Heidi Drummond to launch a corner kick towards the net.

LOCK HAVEN -- Redshirt freshman Dan Mazzocco grimaced as he raced toward the finish line and his face showed off what it had taken to build what would be an insurmountable lead.

For the No. 7 Penn State field hockey team, this weekend's trip to College Park, Md. for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament came with many expectations.

Picture this:

A pencil-thin streak of white chalk running from his left eyebrow to the middle of his forehead was about the only sign that BenJarvus Green-Ellis played football at all on Saturday.

Tom Bradley looked even more tired than his players did on Saturday.

Maurice Humphrey did it again.

As he jogged out of the Beaver Stadium tunnel for his final time there was a mixed reaction.

The Penn State women's cross country team has all the excitement, confidence, and talent required to be a championship team. Unfortunately, this weekend at the 2003 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional II Championships, several other teams also had all those elements.

You win some, you ... lose some?

Washington sophomore Sharon Olson's three individual event wins, including two school records, were not enough to spoil the home opener for the Penn State women's swimming and diving team.

The Penn State seniors went out in style Saturday.

Nate Bump stood in front of the tunnel at Beaver Stadium and watched as Maurice Humphrey dove into the end zone for six points...

Friday night's collage of college bands at the Bryce Jordan Center was a concert best described as a well-earned good time. Despite lasting four and a half hours on a night when most of the crowd was itching to go home and party, all three bands managed to keep the half-sized venue entertained until the very end.

Contrary to popular belief, rock 'n' roll concerts aren't just about blazing guitars, thumping bass and bloody eardrums. Well, maybe the concerts themselves are.

Jack's Farm will play at 10:30 p.m. at The Brewery, 233 E. Beaver Ave. Specials include $4.50 Molson pitchers until 10 p.m., $1.50 domestic pitchers, $1.75 shots and drinks, $2 white Russians, $5.25 Barcadi and Coke pitchers, $5.50 iced tea pitchers and $5.50-7.50 mixed drink pitchers. (237-2892).
