With a home game on the line, the Penn State women's rugby team will travel to Charlottesville, Va., for a possible two-game set this weekend. Two games this weekend could decide the Penn State men's rugby team's season. The first game will be against West Chester tomorrow and if the Ruggers win, they will face either the Indiana University of Pennsylvania or Navy on Sunday. Playing against two opponents in the midst of losing streaks can make a team take those games as guaranteed wins. If the Penn State men's volleyball team comes into this weekend with a similar mindset, the games could have negative EIVA tournament implications for the Nittany Lions. Eighth-ranked Penn State (13-5, 6-0) will be in New Jersey this weekend for two EIVA matches as it faces Rutgers-Newark (11-8, 7-2) at 7 tonight and Princeton (10-6, 4-4) at 4 p.m. tomorrow.

It was all the way back in 1991 that the Penn State women's lacrosse team last beat Maryland. The next year, current Nittany Lions coach Suzanne Isidor began her playing career at Penn State. At the beginning of the season, it seemed highly improbable that Penn State boxing coach Alex Komlev would decide between two undefeated fighters to pick the team's last boxer at the Eastern Regional boxing tournament.

Splitting law school sites solid means of improving its merit My Opinion: Kaitlyn Andrews-Rice Letters to the editor
How much do you really know about zombie logic? Every horror genre has its fans; slasher flicks, poorly-lit German vampire films, even those kitschy '60s B-movies with the eight-headed swamp things. But me, I like zombie movies. A lot. Stop me if you've heard this one before. In life, you can't have the good without the bad. It's part of the bittersweet technicality of memory and we have to live with it every day.
