UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Since the 2012 season, the Penn State men's lacrosse team (5-3) has faced No. 1 Denver (7-0) in games that have become staples of every campaign under head coach Jeff Tambroni's leadership. Prior to his time with the Nittany Lions, Tambroni was the head coach at Cornell where he became close comrades with Bill Tierney, who was the head coach of Princeton from 1988 to 2009. During their years as rivals, the coaches earned each other's respect and developed mutual admiration for one another's natural coaching talent. After Tierney's departure from Princeton to become the head coach at Denver, and after Tambroni left Cornell to come to Penn State, the two started talking about the possibility of their new teams playing one another.
