The Nittany Lions (10-16, 2-12 Big Ten) broke open a close game with a 7-0 run six minutes into the second half and held the lead the remainder of the way. Penn State, which had lost 12 straight Big Ten games before winning Wednesday at Northwestern, has won two consecutive games for the first time since Dec. 19-21.
