On Saturday the Penn State men's cross country team ran against some of the most talented teams in the nation in the Penn State National and captured a 10th-place finish in the loaded field. The bull's eye on its back is only growing as the goose egg remains in the loss column. After a media timeout, a rarity that ensued because ESPN2 was airing the match on tape delay, a public address announcer roared, "Congratulations to Kaleena Walters, who now is Penn State's all-time leader in digs with 1,186." The field hockey gods were trying to ensure the continuance of a Penn State losing streak against No. 15 Michigan State Saturday at Astroturf Field, but the resilient Nittany Lions overcame an early deficit and a repealed goal to break the slide with a 2-1 victory.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- On an afternoon that featured some of the most storied programs in college football history, all playing games of massive consequence, two programs, both steeped in tradition, played a game for the ages.
