If most paths to the top of a steep mountain included a number of switchbacks, the Penn State women's swimming team took a convincing step around another Friday afternoon by defeating St. Bonaventure 172-90. Aaron Johnson finally revealed the secret to his intensified performances. The challenge was administered the week before in practice. PHILADELPHIA -- Heading to Villanova, the Lady Lions were looking for a city that would love them back following two losses to top-10 teams to open the season. In front of a standing-room-only crowd, the No. 4 Penn State women's volleyball team (25-2, 16-2 Big Ten) got one step closer to its second straight Big Ten title with a three-game sweep of Illinois (30-21, 30-28, 30-19) Saturday night.

Beaver Stadium roared, Zack Mills smiled and, for a few hours on an otherwise dreary Saturday in November, all was right again in the world of Penn State football. It was as if the fans in Beaver Stadium thought the not-so-low-key rumors just might be true. They thought this game could be the old coach's last. Before the Penn State women’s basketball team started its season a few weeks ago, the players and coaching staff emphasized that if the Lady Lions were to remain in the upper echelon of the NCAA this season, each and every player on the roster would have to be ready to make a significant contribution on the offensive end. Following last weekend’s second-place finish in the first annual Pennsylvania State Dual Championships, the No. 17 Penn State wrestling team once again showed it has the talent to compete with the top teams in the nation.
