Penn State was finally able to get one. As much trouble as Penn State players had explaining the losing streak, they had a three-word response for Saturday's win. Penn State goalkeeper Amanda Brown didn't stop a penalty kick on Sunday. She didn't have 11 saves and she didn't have to single-handedly keep her team in the game. When you think of the Penn State women's volleyball team's offense of late, names like Cara Smith, Ashley Pederson, and Erin Iceman come to mind. Sixty-four of the Big Ten's top atennis players were placed in the main pool at the Big Ten Individual Championships this weekend at the University of Michigan. Five opponents and 11 sets later, Penn State senior Roddy Cantey found himself competing in the semi-finals. It is hard to sweep a three-game season series. At least that's what the talking heads point out whenever a team in the NFL that beat a division rival twice in the regular season plays it again in the playoffs. The University of Rhode Island's women's hockey team did something no one else has done this season to the Penn State Lady Icers' offense: shut it down completely. Penn State setter Sam Tortorello has been named the Big Ten Women's Volleyball Player of the Week.

Penn State students living in Graduate Circle and Nittany Apartments have been frustrated in their attempts to get Internet access, something most on-campus students take for granted. So you're not a smoker -- but if you're on the other end of the cigarette, it may be just as bad as taking a puff yourself. Health officials say secondhand smoke is a serious hazard, but pro-tobacco groups are claiming that it's not a health risk, just a health hype. When you think of a natural scent, what comes to mind? Is it the passenger sitting next to you on the Loop that seemingly forgot to wear deodorant? Or do you think of aromatherapy, a practice of using specific oils to affect mood and promote health? Q: What causes brain freezes and how can they be treated? Just mentioning a drug test can send chills down the spine of many college students looking for jobs or internships.
