Due to the Penn State ACHA Div. I Icers dominance this season, it seemed that it would take a rival with a similar style and first-hand knowledge of the Penn State system to present a challenge

After a grueling first few meets of the season that including facing four top-25 teams, the Penn State men's swimming and diving team was able to win its first meet of the season on Friday.

Walk into any eating establishment on campus, and chances are you'll be treated to more than just a snack; you might just get an earful. Quite a few campus restaurants allow their employees to pick the music their diners listen to. It might seem like mere background noise, but there's more thought going into the choices made than you might think.
