ANN ARBOR, Mich.
It was not the weekend of hockey Penn State was hoping to see.
With so much on the line for the No. 11 Nittany Lions, they were denied by Michigan 4-0 Saturday night at Yost Ice Arena to close the regular season.
Adam Winborg scored twice and assisted on another goal for the Wolverines, who won four of their past five games. At the other end of the ice, Zach Nagelvoort made 46 saves for the shutout.
Penn State (21-11-2, 10-9-1), at one time the nation’s No. 1 team, closed the season losing five of its final eight and dropped to fourth place in the Big Ten.
