BRISTOL, Conn. – Penn State men’s lacrosse is on to the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championships for the fourth straight year, the longest active streak in the Big Ten. PSU’s bid, earned as an automatic qualifier through winning the 2026 Big Ten Tournament Championship, sets the Nittany Lions up for a first-round matchup against Army West Point.
Penn State was selected as the No. 8 seed and is set to host the Black Knights on home turf. Faceoff at Panzer Stadium is set for 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 9. The game will be broadcast live on ESPNU.
Army holds the major advantage in the all-time series, boasting a 29-4 edge over the Nittany Lions. Despite the disparity in the record, Penn State had won the last three meetings by a combined 16 goals. The last time the teams met was in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, where the PSU gritted out a 10-9 win to advance to the team’s second-ever Final Four. Nittany Lion graduate TJ Malone championed that outing with a four-goal day.
