Northwestern falls to Penn State 74-58, despite huge game from Nia Coffey

EVANSTON — It’s unclear what Joe McKeown did to Penn State in a former life to deserve this, but he has been cursed.

McKeown has never beaten Penn State in his career, and after the Northwestern Wildcats (17-6, 6-4) lost to the Nittany Lions (15-8, 5-6) by a score of 74-58 on Sunday afternoon at Welsh-Ryan Arena, the Philadelphia native now lost all 21 games he has coached against Penn State throughout his career.

Nia Coffey had a monster game to lead all scorers with 28 points and 17 rebounds, while Penn State had five players in double digits, led by Teniya Page with 18 points and eight assists.
