3. Penn State (4)

For every secondary stab and every quality power-play hack they denied Vermont, the Nittany Lions cashed Sunday afternoon.Goaltender Eamon McAdam withstood a 16-shot salvo in the middle frame as part of his first NCAA shutout. At the other end, PSU sculpted a 2-0 edge on the man advantage before adding even-strength insurance to cement a 4-0 win at the Wells Fargo Center.Perhaps most tellingly, Dylan Richard beat Mike Santaguida for his team’s fourth goal when only 32 seconds remained. That refusal to let up even when the game is plainly decided will be an approach the Lions will not want to relinquish.
