Through much of Penn State’s Big Ten slate this season, the Nittany Lions have felt they’ve been just a lucky break away. A bounce that goes in the other direction here or there and their frankly abysmal conference record might look a lot different.
On Friday, the Nittany Lions didn’t have to rely too much on luck.
They did have to rely quite a bit on Liam Souliere, however.
In his first start since Nov. 24, Souliere stopped 40 out of 41 shots as the Nittany Lions beat Wisconsin 4-1, snapping their four-game conference losing streak.
