UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Sophomore goalkeeper Colby Kneese led Penn State men's lacrosse to its first Big Ten victory of the season as the Nittany Lions took down Ohio State, 12-4. Kneese finished the game with a season-high 16 saves and an 80 percent save percentage. He also recorded two shutouts in the first and fourth quarters to earn Big Ten Specialist of the Week honors.
The stellar performance against the Buckeyes was a long time coming for Kneese. After long hours of hard work in practice and plenty of mistakes, the sophomore learned valuable lessons that prepared him for last week, some dating all the way back to the first game of the season.
