The Penn State Nittany Lions have won the prestigious Lambert Trophy for the 2016 season. The Nittany Lions posted a record of 11-3 and won the Big Ten East division as well as the Big Ten Championship.
Awarded by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), the Lambert Trophy is awarded annually to the top team in the East. The award was established in 1936 and has seen 19 different schools earn the honor. None, however, have won it more times than the Nittany Lions.
Penn State first won the Lambert Trophy in 1947 under head coach Bob Higgins.
