Just glad to see Dean Jackson's only recruit Uihleen was not deep sixed. She could have gone to many D One schools, but once you verbal commit and it is not honored, it is so hard to find a spot as a senior.

Penn State beat RIT 3-0 tonight, and it was never close. Penn State led in shots on goal 51-23 and never took their foot off the gas. They haven't had that many shots on goal since 2013. RIT had some chances, but not many, and junior goalie Jenna Brenneman stood tall, earning her second shutout in three games.
Penn State took an uncharacteristic five penalties, but their penalty kill was on point and stopped all of RIT's power play chances. Likewise, RIT's penalty kill shut out Penn State's four power play chances, so give them credit for that. Otherwise, the game was really all Penn State.
Here is Penn State's game recap:

Penn State beat RIT 2-1 tonight to earn the series sweep, and get some much needed conference points. It was more of the same, with Penn State on the gas, especially in the second and third periods. RIT actually outshot Penn State in the first period, 9-7, but didn't really get any good chances again until late in the third. Jenna Brenneman has now given up only two goals in the last four games.

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions
Team is at .500. State needs a split at RMU to go in at the .500 mark at the halfway point of the season.
High Point so far: Handing Providence for what I think is their only loss.
Low Point: Getting smoked by Syracuse for two at home. Syracuse lost to RIT 6-4.
Cautiously optimistic!
Zep have a great Thanksgiving. Keep on posting all your links.

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions
Getting swept by Syracuse was probably the low point for me, too. That series was where we were going to get a good read on where Penn State was, and we got that, and it wasn't a good read. There's still a lot of hockey to play, though, so other teams better not get too comfortable. Syracuse also always seems to be the last team Penn State faces in the CHA tournament before the ride home, so getting their number would be a good thing.
The high point for me was Penn State beating then-#5 Colgate in game two of a series where they dressed the same 12 players for both games. Penn State should have been gassed halfway through game one, and would have been more than justified if they had nothing at all left for game two, and the same 12 players came out and beat #5 Colgate in game two...at Colgate. That's impressive.
I know this series sweep against RIT comes with the "yeah, but it's RIT" notation, but they're not the same RIT they were last year, or the last few years, really. Scoring four late unanswered goals against Syracuse says something about them. RIT's Terra Lanteigne stood on her head against Penn State, with 86 saves for the series, too. Yes, it's RIT, but I thought Penn State looked better overall against them than any other team so far this season.
I share your cautious optimism, for sure. Have a great Thanksgiving, and feel free to freeze any leftovers and overnight them to me...thanks in advance!

Kampresal needs six wins to get to 350 career wins. That's an impressive total.

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions
Penn State travels to Robert Morris this weekend for a Friday/Saturday CHA series, and it's going to be another big test for Penn State. Just as the Syracuse series was at the beginning of November, this series at Robert Morris will show where this team is, at the midway point of the season. This is the last series before the Christmas break, after which Penn State returns to action on December 30-31 at Boston University.
Robert Morris is led by Jaycee Gebhard, with 27 points after 18 games played. Penn State is led by Natalie Heising, with 18 points after 16 games played. There's a big scoring dropoff for both teams after Heising and Gebhard, but the next group of Robert Morris scorers aren't far from Natalie Heising's numbers, so they're going to be a defensive challenge for Penn State.
Last year, the big story at Robert Morris was Brittany Howard, but when Penn State shut Howard down they didn't lose to Robert Morris until the fourth game. It's tempting to think that will work this year with Gebhard, but Robert Morris has those few others who are scoring well, too. Penn State's defense is going to need to play smart, play disciplined, and be quick about moving the puck out of their defensive zone.
This series marks the return of Penn State sophomore Katie Rankin, who broke two fingers in the series against Syracuse and has been out since. She's a physical player who can score, but her real talent is in the faceoff circle when she's on, so hopefully she's coming back hungry.
One place where Penn State has an edge is in net, where Penn State's Jenna Brenneman has a 1.66 goals against average, and Robert Morris's Lauren Bailey has a 2.32 average. Robert Morris averages 2.39 goals per game, and Penn State averages 2.31, so both goalies will need to be on their game this weekend.
No free video for this series, but there is the pay stream...no thanks.

I noticed that the news release mistakenly shows Brenneman being from "Eagan, MI/Clarkson" - should be "Eagan, MN/Clarkson".

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions
Really looking forward to this series. I am someone who thought Penn State would move into the top half the CHA this year, but so far they’ve been swept by Hurst and Cuse, so def need some points this weekend. I did not realize RMU was 0-3-3 in their last six so both teams should be hungry to win.

Game is at 705. If you pay the money to watch, do you have to watch it at 7 or can you watch it later. How long does the video stay in the able to watch area. What if I want to watch the game at 11? Does anybody know?
Considering Syracuse posted a donut in both games over Thanksgiving, that thumping is even looking worse. But, the second game against Mercyhurst was a bad beat. Kudos to Mercyhurst for coming back from 4-1. I guess we will see what the cupcake diet has done for State tonight?

I don’t think you have to watch at 7. I just logged in with my season pass and can watch old RMU home games. Worst case scenario for you, RMU posts detailed video recaps on their site with both teams goals.

Robert Morris takes the win over Penn State by a score of 3-2. I didn't watch the game, so I'll leave the recap up to anyone who watched it, but going by the stats it looks pretty even - shots on goal were 32-32, penalties were 5-4, power play goals were 1-1...it looks same-same on paper, but that doesn't always tell the story, so...

If you watched the game, how did it look?
I watched most the game, but missed the first 8 minutes of the third. The last 12 minutes of the third were all Penn State. They pulled their goalie with three minutes left and never quit. Got a goal with a second left, a mad scramble in front of Bailey, various people took shots with #10 scoring the goal.
Overall, RMU looked like the better team, particularly as it pertains to speed, generating 5 on 5 chances in the first 2 periods, and executing at critical moments. The play of the game was in the 2nd period with about 8 minutes left. RMU on the PP, Brenneman badly shaken up on the play after making a save, right leg I think. Penn State really needed to win the ensuing faceoff and get a clear. They lost the faceoff, RMU moves the puck around and Gebhard got her second of the game, to make it 3-1 shortly after Penn State had just made it 2-1. It was a back breaker, kind of took the wind out Penn State’s sails a bit.
Penn State first goal was a pp goal by Heising, a one timer from the face off dot on her off side after being fed by I think 16 on the point. Real nice goal.
Freshman Gangarosa also stands out. Gets pp unit 1 time, pk time, was down at the net cracking away for that final goal at the end of the game. Slattery also stands out for Penn State, some nice moves. Penn State gives glimpses of how good they can be (and I imagine that’s how they earned the Providence and Colgate wins) but I think they would agree they don’t play full 60s yet (so few teams do).
Kirsten Welsh was out for RMU, they are going to need her for Minnesota next week!
