The Nittany Lions started the day by blanking the Red Flash, 3-0, getting two goals from Corey Hertzog (Reading, Pa.) and one from MacKenzie Arment (Manheim, Pa.). Penn State's strong play continued against Division II Millersville, as Jason Yeisley (Allentown, Pa.), Arment, and Jacobo Vera (Pamplona, Spain) netted goals to lead the Lions past the Marauders, 3-0. The Nittany Lions finished the day by battling Villanova to a 0-0 tie.
