No. 4 Rutgers tops Penn State men’s lacrosse in overtime defeat to close regular season

In Penn State’s last game of the regular season, the blue and white looked to end the regular season strong against No. 4 Rutgers.

Nearly stealing a win to ruin the Scarlet Knights’ Senior Night, Penn State narrowly fell in a 15-14 overtime defeat Saturday after a dramatic comeback from the home team.

Despite Rutgers establishing its offense quickly, the Nittany Lions kept the game even at 2-2 with just five minutes left in the first quarter, converting on two out of their first three shots.

Both teams got on the board once more before the end of the first quarter making it 3-3.
