For a moment, it seemed Penn State was bound for another late-game collapse.
Entering the third period with a three-goal cushion over Wisconsin, the Nittany Lions yielded a pair of goals in short order. Doubt would naturally start to creep in for a team that has, of late, struggled to hold on to the few leads they have gained.
After a timely timeout by coach Guy Gadowsky, though, the flood gates re-opened for the Nittany Lions, who netted four straight to cruise to a 7-2 victory over the Badgers.
With the resounding victory, the Nittany Lions (14-12-0, 5-11-0 Big Ten) completed their first conference sweep of the season.
