Howard J. Lamade Stadium Named A USA Today Sports Editors' Top Pick for Top 50 Best Sports Landmark to Visit - Little League

Editor’s Note: Sports Editors Weekly is a dueling column written by Collegian Sports Editors Gianna Dowling and Myles Hannak. It aims to provide timely debate on Penn State sports performance and news each week. A year ago, Penn State fell short of expectations after a highly anticipated men’s hockey season highlighted by the addition of then-future No. 1 overall NHL Draft pick Gavin McKenna. Despite lower expectations this season, the Nittany Lions entered the year ranked No. 17 in Division I. However, the start to the blue and white’s season looked similar to the end of its last, as it dropped its first two games to then-No. 16 UConn and Sacred Heart.

Step forward Seagulls team-mate Diego Gomez, who shot from the halfway line having seen Crystal Palace goalkeeper Walter Benitez off his line during Brighton's emphatic 5-0 win over their rivals on Sunday. Benitez made a rapid dash back to his goal and produced a desperate dive but could not stop the ball going in just under the crossbar. "As soon as he struck it, I knew it was in. He's taken the club goal of the season off me," joked Brighton skipper Dunk. "That's the goal of the season so far, what a hit," added former Premier League striker Efan Ekoku, part of the commentary team for BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra. "[It was] superbly struck and right over the head of the keeper from the centre-circle.
