After a long layoff due to the coronavirus ending the 2020 season early, Penn State’s season is right around the corner.
The Nittany Lions have high expectations going into 2021, as the most recent US Lacrosse Magazine poll ranked Penn State at No. 4, while Maryland, the highest ranked Big Ten team, is at No. 3.
Although ranked in the top five, Jeff Tambroni’s crew lost multiple standout players in the offseason, most notably Grant Ament, who was selected No. 1 overall in the 2020 Premier Lacrosse League College Draft.
Ament left the blue and white as the program’s all-time leading scorer and was named an All-American three times in his five-year career.
