The Syosset, New York native broke the record for the most career goals in NCAA history last Friday versus Michigan. The record-breaking score, along with the other five goals in that game, showcased his best attribute: his goal-scoring ability. O’Keefe’s patented underhand shot has helped him become so dominant. His shot is a combination of lightning-fast speed mixed with deadly accuracy. His unique underhand approach also throws goalies for a twist, as most tradition...

There aren’t many better ways to honor sports legends than by retiring their numbers. While Penn State Athletics isn’t necessarily in the business of doing so, it never hurts to share some suggestions. The only number Penn State has retired in recent memory is John Cappelletti’s No. 22. The football legend was a stud at running back for the Nittany Lions and remains to be the program’s While Cappelletti is clearly a legend in his own right, Penn State certainly has produced several other stars over the years who deserve the honor.
