At the WVB match against Nebraska, on Friday (11/3), at Rec Hall:
PSU's D with an amazing stop in the 1st OT. If I find a video of it, I'll post it.
The below is from the end of regulation, where PSU nearly scored on two attempts:

Haven't watched one minute of PSU soccer this year. Was flipping through the channels and saw this was on. It was awesome, great drama throughout the second half, OT and the PK's. Thought PSU had it late in the 2nd half hitting the post. Will be watching the BIG championship game. Indiana looks tough, up 3-1 on Michigan.
Indiana and PSU shared the B1G regular season championship. They played 1 time during the season, at PSU, and Indiana won 2-1. Should Michigan win the Indy - Michigan semi, PSU faced Michigan 1 time during the season, and PSU won 4-0.
The PK block by Shakes that won the PK shootout for PSU:
I was disappointed that PSU's MSOC didn't make NCAAs. I believe Indiana (the team that was co-B1G regular season champs with PSU, and who beat PSU in the B1G Tournament final) was the only B1G team that was invited to the NCAAs. (Going from memory on the NCAA brackets -- my apologies if I'm mistaken.)
Absolutely shocking that Penn State Mens Soccer did not get an invite to the NCAA tourney. Co-Big 10 regular season champs and Big 10 conference tournament finalist, how do you not get in the NCAA tournament?!?!
Pitt in at 6-6-4 (where’s Lemonears), four Sunbelt, two Missouri Valley, one BIG and IU is unseeded. Pretty crazy or just absolutely insane PSU didn’t get in. PSU tied Pitt on the road.
Haven’t looked but SOC or RPI come into the decision?
