Instead of relying on their lethal offensive and faceoff play, the Nittany Lions’ defense pushed Penn State to a program-best record 10-0 record.
A dominant run, which started late in the second quarter and continued until early in the fourth, featuring six unanswered goals, propelled No. 2 Penn State to a 9-4 win over fifth-ranked Ohio State on Sunday night in the conference opener.
The Nittany Lions forced 12 turnovers, and freshman Colby Kneese stopped 77 percent of shots on goal to lead Penn State.
Nick Aponte scored first for the Nittany Lions, muscling his way from behind the goal to score on a wraparound.
