The No. 7-ranked Nittany Lions lost 9 – 11 against Cornell at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The Nittany Lions led 5-4 heading into halftime, but a miraculous six-goal performance by Cornell in the third period secured them a 10-6 lead heading into the fourth, according to NCAA.com.

Despite a hard-fought comeback, the Nittany Lions fell short of a National Championship appearance.

Attackman Liam Matthews led the Nittany Lions with four goals in Penn State’s third semifinal appearance.
