After recently facing some weaker opponents, both the Penn State men's and women's swimming and diving teams responded well against some of the best teams in Div.

When the game started, it seemed like there was no telling how bad the outcome would be for the Lady Lions. My Opinion: Tony Calvello My Head Bobbles
