Penn State ice hockey: Glen nets hat trick in PSU win over Alabama-Huntsville

25.05.13

&Mdash; It may be almost the end of the season for the Penn State ice hockey team, but the squad is still finding ways to post a few more program firsts.

David Glen recorded the first official hat trick in the Nittany Lions’ brief Division I history and goaltender Matthew Skoff made the lead stand up at the other end with the program’s first home shutout in a 4-0 win over Alabama-Huntsville on Friday night at the Greenberg Ice Pavilion.

Max Gardiner netted the other goal for the Nittany Lions (11-13), who have won four straight including exhibition games against Ohio last weekend. The contest matched the two lone independent programs in NCAA Division I.

For Glen, it was some official history after first turning the trick unofficially earlier in the season. Glen had a hat trick in an 8-3 win against club program Arizona State on Nov. 30.

“It’s not something I focus on or come in focused on,” said the freshman. “All the credit to my linemates. They made heck-of-a-plays out there to open up space and give me looks at it. It’s an honor and I’m just happy to be part of it.”
