Penn State outscored the Buckeyes in the first three quarters and did not give up more than two goals in any quarter.
Jack Iannantuono, Chase Robertson, Liam Matthews, and Michael Faraone all scored two goals for the offense, which got off to its usual hot start in the first half and never looked back. Penn State ranks No. 8 in the RPI, and the Nittany Lions still control their fate to win the Big Ten regular season title.
The Lions will take on Johns Hopkins tomorrow (noon on ESPNU) looking to continue their unbeaten start in conference play. Women’s Lacrosse (9-3) The losing streak reached three for the women’s team, a hard-fought 14-13 loss to still-unbeaten Maryland. Rocquette Allen scored six goals for Penn State, and she nearly willed Penn State back into a tie all by herself with two goals in the fourth quarter.
It was another tough setback, but there are signs of improvement across the board in this program. Penn State will take on Ohio State on Sunday (noon on Big Ten Plus). Men’s Volleyball (14-7) The men’s volleyball team swept NJIT twice over the weekend in their resumption of EIVA play.
