Penn State defenseman Cole Hults (2) celebrates his goal during the men’s hockey game against Sacred Heart at Pegula Ice Arena on Friday, Oct. 11, 2019. The no. 13 Nittany Lions defeated the Pioneers 8-2.
Jonah RosenCole Hults is the first defenseman to record a hat trick in Penn State program history and the first Big Ten defender to accomplish this achievement since 2016.
Not bad for a guy with six goals last year.
The Wisconsin-native skated in 39 games in the 2018-19 season, but needed just one to accumulate half his goal total.
