The Nittany Lions lost Friday night and dropped a shootout to Notre Dame on Saturday to remain winless in their last seven games. Penn State proved third time’s a harm as it continued its trend of final period woes on Friday, allowing two goals to the Irish. Junior Andrew Sturtz appeared to finally have a shot at ending the team’s winless streak with a penalty shot attempt in Saturday’s overtime session but was ultimately denied. Phil did see his shadow on Friday, but at this point it may be a tall task for the Nittany Lions to be playing for another six weeks.
