In the second of the weekend’s matchups, the Nittany Lions celebrated their Senior Day with pride whilst turning their focus toward clutching a victory against Michigan State to cap off the occasion.

A lengthened battle gone into overtime brought an intense Big Ten matchup atmosphere to the Char Morett-Curtiss field.

The Nittany Lions won the matchup over Michigan State in a nail-biting 2-1 overtime finish.

With initial pressing momentum, Michigan State began to crowd the Nittany Lions’ defense and attack their inner circle. Taking shots at netminder Lauren Delgado, Michigan State’s Carmen Pucheta forced the ball into the goal around the four-minute mark off an assist from Brynn Shaffer.
