Nick Spillane Embracing New Role

Related Topics: Role, Nittany Lion

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Junior attackman Nick Spillane played a major role in helping No. 12 Penn State men's lacrosse to its first program win against Johns Hopkins last week, as the Nittany Lions upset the Blue Jays 14-12.

After spending his first two years with the Nittany Lions in the midfield, Spillane has embraced his new role at attack this season in light of junior Grant Ament's injury. Although the position swap was a big change for Spillane at first, he's finding his stride.

"It's gotten a lot better, I've definitely gotten more comfortable throughout the year," Spillane said.
