On Saturday, as senior pole vault athlete Dave Bollinger stared intently at the next height he would have to clear, he couldn't help but think about the date on the calendar. Penn State men's tennis coach Jan Bortner quoted Albert Einstein on Monday night, saying, "Try not to be a man of success, but a man of values," during the Penn State men's tennis banquet. The saying highlighted the way the Lions went about their business this season, as well as the attitude of the banquet. Entering the 2004 season, the Penn State boxing team was a far cry from the ones that helped make boxing the university's most popular winter sport in the 1940s. That's right, Penn State boxing was popular. But in a year that saw the Lions with a first-year coach relying heavily on a leader with a grand total of two matches under his belt, the struggles seemed inevitable. Penn State women's lacrosse coach Suzanne Isidor and two of her captains, Jackie Sherman and Katie Jeschke, sat side by side, ready to answer questions from the media. For two sets of sisters, the only non-identical thing in tonight's women's lacrosse game will be the jersey on each of their backs.

With the Big Ten tournament less than a month away and the Penn State softball team sitting seven games under .500, every game is an important one. The Nittany Lions needed to carry the momentum from the offensive outburst Sunday against Michigan State into its series yesterday against the Akron Zips (18-21). The Penn State men's lacrosse team picked a good time to play its best three consecutive quarters of the season. And when Bucknell threatened to spoil the fun, Nate Whitaker and John Eremus erased the doubt.
