Ice Hockey: Men's
Musico shines in 3-2 upset of RIT
The Penn State men's hockey team pulled off an upset against the Rochester Institute of Technology, 3-2, in front of 10,556 rowdy fans at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester.
Sophomore goalie P.J. Musico stopped a barrage of shots from the Tigers as the Nittany Lions were outshot 42-22.
Freshman forward Curtis Loik and sophomore forward Max Gardiner each scored their first goals of the season, while freshman forward Casey Bailey scored his second goal of the season.
The Lions led the game by two goals with under 10 minutes left in the third period, but the Tigers pulled within a goal after the puck got by Musico with just over five minutes left. It got worse when senior forward George Saad was assessed a five-minute major and game misconduct after checking from behind.
The Lions would have to kill off a penalty for the remainder of regulation. Musico and the Penn State penalty kill were able to hold off the final charge from the Tigers.
