Sunday, fans...

Syracuse put 29 shots on cage. Despit...

With about two minutes left in the second quarter, he was looking to even up the score and earn his first hat-trick of the season before heading into halftime.

Welcome to March. There’s no turning back now. Blowout Saturday featured a ton of one-sided affairs. We witnessed some Week Two results that didn’t correlate to Week One performance. Teams improve a great deal after their initial outing. March is about improvement. Strive to get better this week as a team, as a unit and as an individual. Same-day bus rides and empty bleachers conspire to snuff your spark. The fire burns from within, take a moment to connect with your why.  Early in the yea...

Mac O’Keefe’s invisibility continued this week, and the Nittany Lions attack struggled without him. How It Happened  Less than two minutes into the game the Nittany Lions went on the man advantage due to an illegal body check by Maryland, which passed without a goal. Minutes after the man advantage finished, Dan Reaume opened the scoring for Penn State, his fourth goal of the season.

Fri Feb 26 2021 | Patrick Stevens | College J.L. Reppert knew the timing would never be perfect. Not when it came time to leave an assistant coaching gig at Maryland, working for a mentor of a quarter-century on a team routinely in the mix for deep NCAA lacrosse tournament runs. There are different shades of odd timing, of course, and Reppert wound up diving into his first head coaching gig at the strangest of times — less than a week before practice started and in the middle of a pandemic. ...

Jake transferred to Maryland from Cleveland State to be closer to his father after he was diagnosed with lymphoma.
