It was a bad night for the Penn State men’s hockey team from the opening seconds, and it led to another stunning loss.
Mercyhurst scored 13 seconds into the game and took down No. 17 Penn State 7-4 Friday night at Pegula Ice Arena.
The defensive struggles continued for the Nittany Lions (3-4), who have allowed 31 goals in the last six games.
The loss overshadowed a milestone night for Andrew Sturtz, who scored his 45th career goal to match Casey Bailey’s program record.
The Nittany Lions piled up the shots, with a 54-29 advantage in shots on goal, but did not have enough success beating Brandon Wildung, who had 50 saves.
