Cassar and Conel have both been plagued with injuries throughout their college careers. Last year, the NCAA granted Cassar an additional two years of eligibility. Conel, a graduate transfer from Kent State who missed nearly all of last season, was also granted an additional year of eligibility due to injuries.

Penn State has won the last four NCAA tournaments and finished as champions at seven of the last eight.
