In what was pegged to be a hard-fought and tightly played defensive struggle between two of the ACHA's top teams, the No. 4 Penn State ACHA Division I Icers once again found a way to win. The team knew all season that it was the best kept secret in women's collegiate ice hockey. This past weekend the Lady Icers let the rest of the nation in on the secret. The banner that hung at the end of the pool read "They just said it would be worth it." The Penn State fencing team has once again proved that it not only has elite status in the college level, but on an international level as well. The stands were filled on Saturday at McCoy Natatorium, and not just because the first 300 fans had a chance to win a Microsoft Xbox. Before the 2006 women's track and field season began, Penn State coach Beth Alford-Sullivan described her team as having the best balance in the Big Ten Conference. Athletes and coaches talk consistently about coming out strong or being quick off the line, phrases that are as much sports clichés as "we just need to make plays" or the ultimate postgame sound byte, "we've just got to take it one game at a time." Ed DeChellis glanced downward for a moment as though the wind had just been knocked out of him. He took a deep breath to collect himself. Ed DeChellis is beyond counting sheep. The sting felt after last season's ACHA National Championship game loss to Illinois was somewhat relieved this weekend when the No. 4 Penn State ACHA Division I Icers swept the No. 1 Illini in front of the two largest crowds Greenberg Ice Pavilion has seen this season. It's Saturday night, Game 2 of the men's volleyball game between a solid squad in No. 14 Ball State (3-0, 0-0 MIVA) and a legitimate championship contender in the No. 6 Nittany Lions (1-1, 1-0 EIVA). Penn State men's gymnast Josh Borromeo was swarmed by fans at the conclusion of the Nittany Lions' meet against Temple in Rec Hall on Friday night. It's only normal that a team has jitters before its first meet. The No. 10 Penn State women's gymnastics team was struck by these jitters Saturday night, and it was unable to overcome them in time to win the home opener.

Q What happens if a condom comes off during intercourse? Can it come off during penetration, and if so, will it be "stuck" inside the female? If so, what then? The average college student has constant demands from school, work, family obligations and with New Year's resolutions to eat healthy and stay physically fit, it can be difficult to balance class and exercise. Security precautions safeguarding agriculture have received attention with the recent avian influenza, but biosecurity is also used to help prevent more common diseases, according to experts. A Penn State student at the Berks campus, along with her fiancee, will be competing for the chance to win a dream wedding on NBC's Biggest Loser: Special Edition--Engaged Couples, a show that teaches participants to lose weight not by surgery, but by diet and exercise alone.
