UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - After struggling to find its momentum during a Friday night loss to Notre Dame, Penn State came back with a fighting spirit to knock off the Irish Saturday, 5-3.
Notre Dame (1-1-0) gave Penn State (2-1-0) a challenging start to their home game slate, but the Nittany Lions were ready for the task in front of a boisterous home crowd. Head coach Guy Gadowsky was impressed with how well his team handled the pressure from Notre Dame, an opponent Penn State has never faced in prior seasons. Gadowsky noted that veterans stepping up and leading the team came as a source of stability this weekend.
