Despite a last-second effort, it was too little, too late for Penn State.
The trend continued in Game 2 for the blue and white on Saturday, as it was unable to earn the series sweep over Notre Dame, losing 5-3 despite outpacing the home team 50-22 in shots.
To open the first period, the Nittany Lions were on the attack early and often, firing off the first seven pucks on net. Despite the fast start, it was Notre Dame junior forward Ryder Rolston who slashed in his second goal in as many nights on his team’s first shot of the night over nine minutes in.
