UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa - Being a student athlete is about more than just wins and losses. For the Penn State women's ice hockey team, their role in the community is something they take great pride in and actively pursue.
Last Friday at Pegula Ice Arena, several local elementary school students came to watch the Nittany Lions in their game against Lindenwood. A few weeks before, junior Irene Kiroplis went to that very same school to interact with the students.
"I really think that Penn State, being such a prominent thing in State College, makes community involvement very big because the whole community is this school," Kiroplis said.
