Real life and work got in the way of this post last week. But, uh, let's face it there wasn't a lot of production in that game anyway. Ugh.
But a solid win over Wisconsin and we're back on track! Hooray Rutgers is Next!
The (LW) designation shows the player's position at the end of last week.

It doesn't feel like it, but so far this is one of the best scoring seasons in Penn State history. Huh.
