UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. October 6, 2004 - The start of the Penn State field hockey game at Michigan State on Saturday, Oct. 9 has been changed to 4 p.m. ET. The game was originally slated to begin at 6 p.m. The No. 19 Nittany Lions (8-5, 2-0) put their perfect Big Ten record on the line when they visit the Spartans this weekend. Riding a four-game winning streak including three straight shutouts, Penn State is led by senior Karin Grap (Van Etten, N.Y), who has seven goals on the season, and redshirt freshman Shaun Banta, (Gibbsboro, N.J.) who ranks second on the team with six. Defensively, Penn State has been especially strong. Junior goalkeeper Megan Akstin (Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) has tallied six full shutouts this year, and the defense has shut out seven opponents on the season. In addition, three players have been recognized by the Big Ten as players of the week, including junior Molly Schriver (Kenilworth, Ill.), who won the award on Monday after Penn State shut out its third straight opponent for the second time this season.
