On the Wrestling side of things, Carter Starocci announced that he will be coming back for another season. Starocci’s return gives him a chance to compete for a fifth national championship. Penn State got stronger with Starocci coming back.

PSU Lacrosse

Penn State Men’s Lacrosse has made the Finals of the Big Ten Tournament.

The Nittany Lions advanced thanks to victories over Rutgers and Maryland. Next up, the Nittany Lions face off against Michigan on Saturday night at 8 p.m., from Ohio Stadium.

With a victory, the lacrosse team would clinch only the second Big Ten Championship in program history.
