After winning its first Big Ten match of the season against Ohio State 3-0, Penn State returned home for its second conference match against Maryland.

While the Nittany Lions were sporting black and pink throwback uniforms, Tuesday night was also the 11th annual Mack Brady match — the blue and white came out on top 1-0 .

Traditionally occurring as Penn State’s Big Ten home opener, the Mack Brady match celebrates the life of Mack Brady, who passed away at eight years old in December of 2012, from an unexpected blood infection.
