Local roundup: PSU-Ga. St. a 7:30 kickoff

Penn State will meet Georgia State for the first time in program history in a primetime contest on Big Ten Network on Sept. 16, the school said Tuesday as the first three weeks of BTN games were an­nounced. The game will kick at 7:30 and also be Penn State’s first against a Sun Belt opponent.

Previously announced, Penn State Football’s season opener against Akron September 2 will kick at noon and air on ABC. Penn State’s home game against Pitt will kick on Sept. 9 at 3:30 p.m. on ABC, while the Homecoming game against Rutgers will kick at noon on Nov. 11. Penn State also learned kick times for a pair of road games with a noon kick at Northwestern on Oct. 7 and a 3:30 p.m. kick on Fox at Ohio State on Oct. 28.

• In women’s lacrosse, Randall Swope, who coached the Bucknell for eight seasons and went 51-82 over two separate stints, an­nounced Tuesday that she would be stepping down.

Swope’s initial two-year turn as Bucknell’s head coach came in 2003 and 2004, when she led the Bison to .500 or better records and berths in the Patriot League Tourna­ment in both years. In 2003, the team reached the Patriot League Tourna­ment championship game for the first time in school history.
