Not much went right for the No. 2 Penn State ACHA Division I Icers Friday night in Lynchburg, Va., as the team fell to No. 10 Liberty by a score of 6-3. However, the night did prove to be an historic one for the Icers.

Luke DeLorenzo scored his 100th career goal in the defeat a week after notching his 100th career assist and 200th career point against Rhode Island. DeLorenzo, who added a pair of assists Friday, now has 100 career goals and 103 assists for 203 career points.

And, if you noticed the change in the official title of the team, Penn State was bumped up to No. 2 in the ACHA rankings. The rankings, which were released earlier today, placed Penn State behind new No. 1 Lindenwood and in front of new No. 3 Illinois. However, Illinois has more first-place votes (4) than the Icers (2).

We started Between the Pipes back up this week, and now that it's Thursday, it can only mean one thing: Ten Question Thursday.

Before we get to this week's subject, senior defenseman Andrew Magulick, there's some business to attend to.

We're looking to change up the standard ten questions a bit. Don't worry, not all of the questions will be leaving the line-up. What this means for you: as many of you (hopefully) have noticed, the blog articles have comment sections now (If you can't see them, click on the title of the entry in question and scroll to the bottom of the article). Now, keeping them appropriate, feel free to suggest questions you'd like to hear TQT's next subject answer.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

If not hockey, what sport would you be playing?

If not hockey, what sport would I play? I would say football. You get to play in Beaver Stadium or something like that. That'd be awesome.

What is your favorite place to eat in town?

Faccia Luna. It's that pizza restaurant out on Atherton. I love that place. Great pizza.

What is your favorite class taken at Penn State?

I have to say freshman year, a fly fishing class I took. It was a KINES class. Really fun. Learned a little bit. Got to meet some people around here that were involved with the fly fishing program. It was relaxing.

Do you have any hidden talents most people don't know about?

Embarrassing myself. No. I have a good way of making people laugh.

Who is your favorite hockey player?

Obviously it used to be The Great One, but now it's Sidney Crosby. He's just fun to watch. Moves the puck unbelievably well. Extremely fast. Extremely good hands. You never know what he's going to do. I'm gonna have to say Sidney Crosby on that one.

What is your favorite Coach Balboni quirk?

He says "logistics" a lot. He always says, "A little logistics on the weekend." Where we're staying and stuff like that. But he says it all the time.

In the movie of your life, who plays your girlfriend?

Oh. That's an easy question. What's that girl's name from The Girl Next Door? That Canadian. Used to date...

TQT: Elisha Cuthbert.

That's it. She plays my girlfriend.

How do you feel about Sean Avery's feelings toward you?

[Laugh] If he said it in private and not in front of the cameras I think it'd be all right. But if he says it in front of the cameras like that, I would have to disagree with the way he goes about saying stuff.

Who is the biggest ladies man on the team?

I'm going to have to go with Matt Kirstein just because he thinks he is. And he's our social chair, apparently. That's a joke. But yeah, Matt Kirstein.

Who has the best nickname on the team?

Has to be "Sweet Lou," because it's self-proclaimed and no one really understands. I think it's just because he's Steve Thurston and he thinks he's sweet. It's gotta be "Sweet Lou," because it means nothing, he thinks he's sweet and it's self proclaimed. It hasn't been confirmed or denied by any players on the team, yet.

With the new rankings set to come out Friday, and big changes likely to happen, I figured we'd just take a quick look at the current ACHA rankings. First, there's the top-3 that has remained unchanged since the preseason rankings, with Illinois at No. 1, Lindenwood at No. 2 and Penn State at No. 3. However, with last weekend's sweep of Illinois, the Illini will likely fall from the top spot, but with Penn State's loss to No. 7 Rhode Island yesterday, it should be interesting to see who takes over as No. 1. Illinois has been ranked No. 1 in 17 consecutive polls, but that streak should come to an end Friday.

Lindenwood made their case for the No. 1 ranking by winning both of their games this weekend quite convincingly, but they were against Michigan-Dearborn, a 16-15-2 team. Although Dearborn beat the Icers earlier this season, it would be hard to argue that Michigan-Dearborn is on the same level as Rhode Island.

And you thought the BCS was confusing?

Anyway, some other notable things from this set of rankings:

- The Icers are not the only team representing Penn State in the polls. Penn State-Berks is currently ranked No. 24.

- SUNY Canton has broke into the polls in its first year competing in the ACHA, coming in at No. 25. Even more interestingly, perhaps, is their nickname. The Roos. As in Kangaroos. Now being from New York, myself, I find Kangaroos to be an interesting enough nickname for a NY team as it is, but shortening it and just being the Roos? I like it.

- Robert Morris comes in at two different spots in the rankings. Confused? Well, Robert Morris (Pa.) sits at No. 9, and Robert Morris (Ill.) is ranked No. 15.

- Neither Adrian nor Drexel is in the top 25. Adrian, however, did receive more votes than Drexel coming in at No. 28, whereas Drexel is No. 30. Earlier this season, the Icers lost at home to Drexel, 3-2. Less than a month earlier, the Icers had beaten Adrian 16-1. Go figure.

Well, that's it for these rankings. Check back Friday night to see what the new rankings bring. Could Penn State be No. 1? Maybe No. 2? Maybe the ACHA will really try to imitate the BCS and really confuse us by leaving them at No. 3?

Who knows at this point.
