Conference play leads to increased physicality
By Joe Mclntyre
COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER
When opponents in the Big Ten
match up for conference games,
there tends to be a drastic
increase in flying elbows, nasty
hip checks and reckless stick
swings.

COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER
They lost their first conference
match in nearly four years last
weekend. And this
week, they only
have four days of
practice instead
of the usual five.
But the Nittany
Lions are still sticking to their rou

And as for coach Char Morett,
she loves the physical style that
comes with Big Ten play. She said
it’s the nature of the conference.
It’s what makes the Big Ten great.
And in the game against
Indiana, Morett said the Lions did
extremely well dealing with the
higher intensity of play, but as for
Sunday’s matchup with Michigan,
that was a different story.
“I would say in the past we were
the team that was a little more
physical in a game like [Michigan]
and my concern is why we didn’t
get angry, why we as players just
took it,” Morett said. “I think we
got whiney when we needed to get
mad. We need to just get angry
with it because it was very physi

Even first-year player Brittany
Grzywacz noticed how much more
teams get amped up for confer
ence games.
The freshman forward said the
physical play adds an extra dimen
sion to the game she had never
seen before coming to Penn State.
But that’s not a downside to col
legiate play at all, she said.
In fact, she relishes it.
“It changes the intensity of the
game because you have to put
your whole body into it,” Grzywacz
said. “It becomes mental and
physical, so I actually like that bet
ter. So it’s definitely more fun.”

Though it's not a typical week,
some players enjoy the day off.
Senior co-captain Blair Brown
said it was a good chance for play
ers to relax and rest their legs.

you know, finish our schoolwork
that we didn't have done over the
weekend," Brown said. “And just
kind of get everything back into
