For the second consecutive year, the Penn State Nittany Lions Field Hockey team's season came to an end in the regular season finale, and for the second year in a row, it was a 4-2 Friday night loss at home that slammed the door on their postseason hopes.

On Halloween night against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, the Nittany Lions made it a one-goal game before halftime with goals from junior Natalie Freeman and senior Ella Jennes after falling behind 3-0 right out of the gate, but they could not complete the comeback.
