I am going to try something new. Each week (hopefully on Sunday), I will post how the different Penn State sports teams fared this week. It is time we Penn State fans celebrate the successes (or defeats) of our university, and not just in football or wrestling.

Women: (1/23) lost at Wisconsin 69-57, (1/25) lost to #23 Iowa 107-79, (1/27) lost to Michigan State 79-58. (9-10, 3-6)
