Penn State women's lacrosse holds off Rutgers despite late-game comeback

Penn State returned home to Panzer Stadium and extended its win streak, defeating its next Big Ten opponent, Rutgers, on Thursday.

The Nittany Lions held the Scarlet Knights to a 12-10 victory.

At the first whistle, Erika Ho earned possession of the ball and immediately started a rhythm on offense. The Nittany Lions scored the first of the match when Brooke Hoss sent a fastball to the net on a free-position shot.

The Scarlet Knights wasted no time on defense. Only a minute later, Charlee Thomas picked up a groundball and created momentum for Delainey Sutley to tie the match 1-1.
