One week ago, forward Christian Sload’s goalless streak had reached 52 days.
Since then, two overtime game-winning goals in his team’s final two matches of the regular season have given him and Penn State all the momentum in the world and earned his squad the second seed in the Big Ten tournament.
Sload’s heroics over the last week are just one piece of his rollercoaster of a season.
The senior started off his fifth and final year as a Nittany Lion with two goals and four assists in his first six contests, displaying promising offensive prowess as the focal point of a predominantly young, inexperienced squad.
