Wednesday, 4/24
Games are canceled
PSU's B team won their first National Championship in team history and the first for the school. They had to knock off some familiar opponents in order to win their title. Last night was a revenge match-up in the semi-finals against Lindenwood University. Lindenwood has won every B division championship since it's creation 7 seasons ago. Penn State beat them 8-3, then moved on to a 6-2 win against University of Central Florida. Last night's game was highly attended as many people know PSU had what it took to knock off the champs. The crowd roared and the boards shook as other teams from around the country joined in with the "WE ARE...PENN STATE" chants. The building erupted as PSU scored an empty netter in the 3rd, the only goal of that period. Both games were against big opponents the team had faced last year. The outcome was obviously very different just one year removed from a 8-2 loss to Lindenwood in the National Championship game. Coach Bryan Ollendyke announced his retirement to the team prior to their playoff run and finishes on top with seniors Jason Bogert, Brian Reel, Jesse Patnetsky, and Eric Kleinberg. If you see any of the guys around, make sure to give them your best as they made history this weekend. |
