Penn State men’s lacrosse will have its best hopes for a national title in 2021 | Opinion

Penn State has risen to national prominence over the last couple of years, but one milestone has remained elusive — a national title.

The Nittany Lions have never won a national championship in the program’s history, with the closest chance being a Final Four performance in 2019.

But that could easily change in 2021.

Returning 83% of its goal-scoring from 2020’s shortened season, Penn State will field one of its most experienced teams ever with a handful of fifth-year seniors leading the charge.

Mac O’Keefe has the opportunity to further cement himself as one of the top college lacrosse players in the history of the game with another stat-stuffing season after he opted to return for another year.
