Penn State Nittany Lions

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Penn State and Michigan State are headed to bowl games, but the winner of today's regular-season finale likely will receive a bigger prize.

Penn State athletes continue to graduate well above their peers nationally, earning record-setting academic performances.

Penn State has always had trouble at Michigan State and Daryll Clark still hasn't won a big game, as far as I can tell. Do you think Penn State will win Saturday?

The No. 25 Penn State men's swimming & diving team received strong performances from the victorious 200 freestlye relay squad, Luke Bushman (Green Bay, Wis.) and Dan Fimbianti (Mahwah, N.J.), but trail No. 8 Virginia after the first day of the teams' dual meet.

Despite hanging tough all evening long, the No. 24 Penn State women's swimming and diving team finished Friday in a 117-50 hole against No. 11 Virginia with Saturday's action still to come. The Lions' lone victory came from junior Ilana Zeises (Huntingdon Valley, Pa.) in three-meter diving while freshman Amy Modglin (Fort Myers, Fla.) was within a split second of two wins. She also swam to a near record performance with a career-best and NCAA `B' Qualifying Cut in the 200 backstroke. The two squads reconvene on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. at the McCoy Natatorium.

The top-ranked Penn State women's volleyball team clinched at least a share of the 2009 Big Ten title with a 3-1 (29-31, 25-17, 25-17, 25-20) victory against Purdue (12-16, 4-13). Penn State has now won 93 straight matches and is now in sole possession of second place among all Division I winning streaks. A defeat of Indiana on Saturday would give Penn State its 13th overall and seventh consecutive outright Big Ten title.
