Calling Penn State men’s lacrosse’s start to the season a disappointment would be an understatement, to say the least. After coming into the season as the No. 8 team in the country, the Nittany Lions sit at 1-3 after four games. Penn State’s most recent game was a shellacking at the hands of Johns Hopkins. Jeff Tambroni’s squad’s offense was ineffective and limited to only six goals in the 13-6 loss. Hopkins also held the Nittany Lions without a shot in the entire third quarter.

Pandemic restrictions, injuries and moving pieces have impacted the Penn State offense thus far.

Monday March 8th, 2021 8:45am (Inside Lacrosse Photo: James Beaver) It was a weekend of little change. Loyola, Ohio State and Richmond were the only Top 20 teams to meet defeat. We have a lot to look forward to this week, and many of the best games are on television. Wednesday High Point is at Duke. Thursday Night Lacrosse debuts on the ACC Network with Virginia and North Carolina. On Saturday, Hopkins hosts Penn State, then Rutgers and Maryland play for first place in the Big Ten. Sunday, fans will be treated to Ohio State and Michigan. Why are there so many football score blowouts this seas...
