WHAT HEAD COACH PAUL ZAZENSKI SAID
"Tonight's game had a very bizarre ending with the fog coming out of nowhere to end the game. Penn State is a very solid team so getting a point on the road in a tough environment against a ranked opponent is a positive. We now look to finish up with CAA play with two tough opponents in Charleston and William & Mary."
