In its first NCAA tournament game, Penn State scored seven consecutive goals to dominate Union, N.Y., 10-3, as the Nittany Lions win their Midwest Region semifinal at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati.
The Nittany Lions (25-11-2) tied an NCAA tournament record for goals in a game. Lake Superior State crushed Alaska Anchorage, 10-3, March 17, 1990.
Nate Sucese and Chase Berger scored two goals each, and the Nittany Lions scored five goals in the third period. Penn State’s 10 goals also set a program record.
Union (25-10-3), however, was in the game for much of the first and second period.
