While the weekend didn't go as originally planned for some teams, many other teams earned hard-fought victories.

Penn State earned its second victory of the year on Friday night, defeating Sacred Heart 2-1 in a game that the Nittany Lions dominated much more than the score showed. The win kept the Nittany Lions undefeated in the new Pegula Ice Arena.
The No. 2 Penn State women's volleyball team defeated No. 14 Purdue in straight sets at Rec Hall on Friday night. Penn State improves to 12-1 in the Big Ten with the match win and has a 12-game winning streak since losing to Michigan State earlier in the season.
