It was a playoff atmosphere in South Bend on Friday night.

Penn State (18-13-2) took 3-goal lead in the second period but could not hold on in the first game of a critical series on the road with Notre Dame (18-12-3).

The loss ends any hope of gaining an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament for the Lions.
