The final buzzer on Saturday afternoon marked not only the end of a two-game series against conference rival Lindenwood, but also what could have been Penn State’s last home series of the season.
Because this was the final home series in the regular season, this weekend doubled as senior weekend . The 12 seniors, who were freshman in the inaugural season of Division-I ice hockey, were sent off with hugs, flowers, parents and personal videos made by the program that included interviews with coaches and teammates.
But that didn’t change the way the Nittany Lions (10-17-5, 6-7-5 College Hockey America) played during the series.
