Debuting Sept. 23, the play uses
Robinson’s role to display all that
Lombardi did for his players
regardless of their background.
Based on David Maraniss’ book
“When Pride Still Mattered: A
Life of Vince Lombardi,” the play
will show Lombardi as a man who
was about much more than just
football.

looks
to 400
Though Penn State field hock
ey head coach Char Morett is
unwilling to talk about her per
sonal accomplishments, she
doesn’t have to.
They speak for themselves.
Morett is the longest-tenured
field hockey coach in the Big
Ten. And with 24 years of coach
ing the Nittany Lions, she’s the
seventh-longest tenured coach
at a single school in Division I
field hockey history
But as Morett sits at victory
No. 399 of her career, one shy of
the prestigious four-century
landmark, the only thing on her
mind is what lies ahead: Who’s
the next opponent? How can the
team better execute on offense?
What can they do to improve on
the last game?
For Morett, any talk about
personal accomplishments,
especially ones that have yet to
happen, is ‘ jinxy.” She acted as if
mentioning the subject of 400
wins would guarantee Penn
State wouldn’t win anytime soon.
It’s all business for Morett. No
remembering and no looking
back.
Nonetheless, the Lions will
