Penn State men’s lacrosse will host Towson in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday as the No. 7 overall seed. The game will air live on ESPNU.

Thanks to early and constant offense, Penn State was able to quell the Wolverines and leave Ann Arbor with a 17-13 victory.

Penn State turned the tide by improving at the face-off circle and was able to down No. 14 Rutgers, 13-7, behind a pair of hat tricks from Mac O’Keefe and Kevin Hill. With the win, the Nittany Lions secured one of four spots in the Big Ten tournament.
