In Penn State's game against Penn on April 7, women's lacrosse coach Suzanne Isidor said her team refused to lose, going into the second overtime. Heading into this weekend the Penn State men's lacrosse team appears to have a NCAA bid right where they want it. The Penn State men's outdoor track team is hoping for continued success today at the Nittany Lion Relays for the final home meet of the Spring Semester. For this weekend's two Big Ten matches, the No. 63 Penn State men's tennis team should not have to look far for inspiration. It's too late for the women's tennis team to avoid finishing its season with a winning record, but it would be satisfied just to get its Big Ten win of the season. The Penn State women's track and field team is split in two this weekend. It may still be two weeks before final exams -- but the men's golf team is already set to be tested this weekend. Wednesday night, as the janitor looked on from the opposite end of Holuba Hall, members of the Penn State baseball club finished a three-hour practice by running sprints. Tomorrow at 7 p.m., Penn State gymnast Lisa Clark will be at the finals of the NCAA National Championships at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles -- as a spectator. Heading into nationals, Clark was confident she could perform just as well or better than she had at regionals. The junior posted a career-high 9.95 on the vault and a 9.9 on the floor exercise, earning her first place at the Northeast Regionals and a plane ticket to Los Angeles. The Penn State men's rugby team can recollect the last time it beat rugby powerhouse Navy. But it can't do the same when they think about Ohio State. For the past two seasons the Buckeyes have dominated the Ruggers. It has simply wore the Ruggers down with a physical style of play along with size. The Penn State baseball team has preached winning games early in the Big Ten season, rather than waiting until the last week to make a run at the championship. The Penn State softball team started Big Ten play off on the right foot, winning its first two conference games. However, the Nittany Lions have drop their last four conference games and currently find themselves sitting in ninth place. However, Penn State (16-23, 2-4) will have a chance to climb the standings this weekend as they welcome Northwestern (20-13, 3-5) and Michigan State (23-16, 3-5) to Nittany Lion Field for a four-game weekend. Both teams are only one game ahead of Penn State in the Big Ten. On a team full of talented, young underclassmen, the importance of senior leadership can sometimes be overlooked. This weekend, however, it is the seniors' time to be celebrated. Perplexed as she was by the thrashing she thought this year's team would never get, there was only one thing giving Kelly Mazzzante even more confusion after the Lady Lions' 66-49 season-ending loss to Connecticut in the Elite Eight. 
BJC controversy, long brewing, has students near boiling point My Opinion: Kaitlyn Andrews-Rice Letters to the editor
OK, before I begin this review, let's get a few things straight. Ben Kweller is like Peter Pan. He's nice and pleasant, and can sort of make you feel like a child yourself. Except Peter Pan never got older, and Ben Kweller seems to be getting younger. Ella Enchanted is the ideal title for a film intended for those of us who are dis-enchanted by Disney. Oh, that William Hung. First he sings and dances his way into our hearts as America's favorite Idol reject. Now he's back, and fans are no longer limited to clips of his singing escapades and reruns of his "banging" audition for American Idol. Sure, Bach's great and everything. But you can't noodle-dance to it. Easter weekend, I was relaxing at home, working on the groove in my favorite couch. Remote controls and CDs and the remains of cereal bowls piled up around me. It was glorious. Between Pennsylvania Centre Stage and Penn State's Center for the Performing Arts, State College residents and university students have access to a wealth of theatrical opportunities. JoVic Productions members said they hope not only to add to this wealth, but also to provide playgoers with more diverse types of theater. Local artists have given old objects new lives and a fresh dose of meaning for the 10th Annual Recycled Art Show at the Art Alliance, 818 Pike St., Lemont. An eclectic group of punk rockers will play a free show at 7 tonight in East Halls' Findlay Commons, as Northstar, Letterbox, A Thorn for Every Heart and 4 foot 4 bring their various sounds to State College.
