It’s been seven months since No. 6 Penn State skated out of Pegula Ice Arena with its third straight championship win over No. 15 Mercyhurst in the AHA Championship game.
The Nittany Lions have won eight of the last nine matchups against the Lakers as they returned home for a two-game series.
In a physical rematch of the AHA Championship game, the Nittany Lions shut out Mercyhurst, 3-0.
The storied history of the two teams showed throughout the first five minutes of the game as both seemed to have answers to each other's offensive attack. This was their 58th all-time meeting, with the blue and white having an overall record of 22-26-9.
