Things got chippy Sunday afternoon for the second series game between Penn State and Syracuse.
The Nittany Lions spent 17 minutes in the box throughout the game, which ultimately led to their 3-1 loss.
Before the Nittany Lions could begin to rack up penalty minutes, the Orange got the jump on Penn State early in the period with a goal scored by senior forward Savannah Rennie at 4:43 in the first, putting the Nittany Lions down 1-0.
Besides the initial goal allowed in the first, Nittany Lion goaltender Chantal Burke and junior Syracuse goaltender Allison Small had a quiet first period as the shots on goal after the first were 12-5 in Penn State’s favor.
