The weekend of upsets continued this afternoon for the No. 12 Penn State wrestling team. After defeating No. 10 Northwestern 25-10 on Friday night, the Nittany Lions (12-5, 3-3 Big Ten) shocked No. 6 Iowa 24-13.


The No.12 Penn State wrestling team came away with a dominating, 25-8, upset against No. 10 Northwestern last night.


It seemed as though fashion week had arrived in downtown State College last night. Simon Hawk, designer for JJ by Maxwell clothing, had his third annual Charity Fashion Show benefiting the House of Care.


Aaron Stidd reintroduced himself to his parents and the world at around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.



Repeating the message printed on her T-shirt, 5-year-old Rebecca Allen says with a giggle, "I'm not just cute, I'm gorgeous!"

"How many of you are rednecks?!" Craig Morgan shouted to the crowd, who responded with a resounding, "Whoo!"

According to a recent article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Penn State English faculty was ranked the third highest in their "scholarly output," out of thousands of programs nationwide.

Immediately after signing his letter of intent, it became Talor Battle's job to recruit, not necessarily get to know, a late-blossoming 6-foot-8 forward from Louisville, Ky.

There are few things that put life in perspective as much as leaving something that, even if you come back, will never look the same.

For the No. 17 Penn State men's lacrosse team, one goal made all the difference.

Right from the opening tip-off, the contest had all the makings of a typical Penn State women's basketball road game.

The No. 7 Penn State men's volleyball team dealt with every facet of a volleyball match and every emotion last night in its first home match of the season.

How big is this weekend's slate of games for the ACHA Division I Icers?

Not much was said about Purdue this week, other than some comments on forward Carl Landry's attributes and the obvious acknowledgement that the Boilermakers are tomorrow's opponent.

The No. 7 Penn State men's volleyball team came away with a win last night against a previously unbeaten No. 11 Ohio State team, but it did so in an unimpressive way.

After sweeping both Colgate and Lehigh last Sunday, the No. 52 Penn State men's tennis team faces its first real test of the spring season.

The NCAA Championships are still two-and-a-half months away, yet the top-ranked team in the country is still making its way to University Park this weekend.

The schools participating in the seventh annual New Balance Collegiate Invitational reads like a Who's Who of the elite programs in men's track and field.

The Penn State men's and women's fencing teams will travel to MIT, a nine-hour bus trip this weekend, for a non-conference competition set to begin at 9 a.m on Sunday.

The Penn State women's tennis team will be traveling this weekend to face off against No. 32 North Carolina State and Florida International.

On Saturday night, music will come from every direction at the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center Worship Hall as more than 40 music majors will create a "surround-sound experience."

Visitors to the Bryce Jordan Center this morning may be in for a bullish surprise.

No Refund Theatre (NRT) will bring a classic English ghost story to stage this weekend when it presents its first show of the spring season, The Woman in Black.

Start with about three cups of Bridget Jones' clever wit and comical outlook on life. Add a few tablespoons of the touching display of sisterhood exemplified in In Her Shoes. To finish, sprinkle in a bit of the bewildered yet loveable personality of Andrea Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada. Bake for about 307 pages and you'll end up with Andrea Semple's sweet and refreshing The Makeup Girl.

Whatever happened to Daria, Beavis and Butthead, Jackass and music videos?

You'll cheer, you'll cry, you'll laugh, the Catch and Release movie trailer boldly promises. At least they got the last one right.

When Bloc Party released Silent Alarm in 2005, it was met with widespread adulation and, for the most part, it was deserved. They became critics' darlings and a favorite of the indie community. More than a few called it the best record of the year. The hype was palpable; they became one of the most talked about indie bands in the world. Expectations for the follow-up, A Weekend in the City, became justifiably astronomical.
