They, along with the rest of the team, are stating their case early as to why this may be their year.
The Nittany Lions swept their second straight Big Ten series when they beat Michigan State 8-6 on Saturday evening. It was Penn State's first back-to-back conference series sweep since 2011, when they beat Ohio State and Northwestern in two two-game series.
Leading the charge has been senior Macy Jones, who has been consistently making big plays on both sides of the ball. Against Michigan State, she went 7-for-10 with six RBIs, including two 2-run home runs in Saturday's contest.
