Yinzers and Staters,Back in live action, your Penn State athletics update is here.
Sorry for the late post, but I had an SHL game last night. Your White team lost a heart-breaker to the speedy Red team. Too many turnovers in the offensive zone led to too many odd man rushes for the Red team. In the end, the final score was 4-2 Red team.
In other, not so surprising news, the Penn State Nittwits lost two more Big-10 matches since we last spoke. The Nittany Lions took on the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday in Iowa City. The only thing that comes to mind is a lyric from "On Saturday" by the Clarks:
I'm gonna quit, cuz it's getting old
[...]
[...]
We're breaking up, you're moving out on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
I'm losing friends, I'm losing face, I'm losing weight
So get your things out of my place on Saturday
On Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday
The Nittany Lions were up by 11, that's right 11, at the half and ended up dropping the game 67-64. Taylor Battle had 31 points and 7 rebounds which is pretty impressive, but what matters in the long run is that Penn State is still winless (0-5) in the Big-10 after the game. Iowa went on a 36-16 run over the middle 16 minutes of the game...I have nothing more to say on that game.
After dropping what should have been a win in Iowa City, the Nittany Lion men came back home to "the Beej" (Bryce Jordan Center/BJ Center/BJC) against Indiana. "Hoosier daddy?" they exclaimed with great relish after beating the Nittany Lions 67-61. Taylor Battle added another 22 points and 4 assists, but to no avail. The Nittany Lions are now 0-6 in the Big-10 and 8-9 overall. The Nittwits next game is Sunday January 24 at Wisconsin.
In other news on campus, the Penn State womens basketball team picked up their fifth straight win since falling 69-60 to Illinois on December 31. The Lady Lions are now 14-4 overall and a 2nd place 6-2 in the Big-10. The next game for the Ladies is Sunday January 24, as they take on the Fighting Illini at the Beej.
The Nittany Lion wrestling season is also in full swing. The 13th ranked Nittany Lions take on Illinois tonight at Rec Hall. So far this year, the Nittany Lions are 8-3-1 and open up Big-10 duals tonight. Here is a direct quote from www.gopsusports.com about this year's team. I did not feel like doing all the research on this one:
"Head coach Cael Sanderson's crew has six ranked wrestlers, including three former All-Americans all ranked in the top eight. Senior Cyler Sanderson is No. 5 at 157 and sports a 19-2 mark while sophomore Frank Molinaro is No. 5 at 149 with a 21-1 mark. Senior Dan Vallimont is 18-3 overall and ranked No. 8 at 165. Sophomore Cameron Wade is No. 11 at heavyweight with a 12-5 mark while sophomore Brad Pataky is No. 12 at 125 and is 17-5. Senior David Erwin is No. 12 at 184 with a 19-5 overall record."
Overall, the Nittany Lions athletics programs are doing big things. Keep up the good work.
For the glory,
