No. 6 Penn State women’s lacrosse powers past Ohio State

UNIVERSITY PARK

The Nittany Lions had the scarlet-and-gray Buckeyes feeling blue after Saturday afternoon’s contest.

The No. 6 Penn State women’s lacrosse team rallied from an early three-goal deficit at the Penn State Lacrosse Field to defeat Ohio State 16-12 and remain perfect in Big Ten play. The Lions now boast a 12-1 overall record, with a 3-0 conference mark.

The Nittany Lions trailed 6-3 with less than for minutes left in the first half — but that’s all they needed to knot the game up. Penn State’s Abby Smucker and Madison Carter recorded goals within 40 seconds of one another and then, with 15 seconds until halftime, Carter again found the back of the net.
