The 2021-22 campaign marked the second straight year that Penn State failed to finish above .500.
The Nittany Lions ended with a 13-14 record and struggled in conference play, going just 3-6. They entered the Big Ten Tournament as the seventh seed with a matchup against tenth-seeded Indiana on the horizon.
In its lone matchup during the campaign, the blue and white took down the Hoosiers 4-3 in Bloomington, Indiana, but history reversed itself when the playoffs rolled around.
This time around, it was Penn State that fell 4-3 after Indiana secured the deciding doubles win.
