YSU Sports Coverage You Can Expect

Football

The Jambar publishes game stories on YSU football, including Homecoming coverage. One featured article, by William Staten, opens with the opening kickoff of the Penguins' Homecoming game against the University of … — the excerpt cuts off there, so the full recap is the place to find the final score and details.

Volleyball

Volleyball series are reported as multi-game narratives. James Westover's article covers the Penguins' series split against Purdue University Fort Wayne and continues into a series sweep in Cleveland that ended a road trip.

How the Penguins Are Referenced

YSU teams appear as the Penguins in headlines and recaps — for example, "Penguins ice red-hot Panthers" and "Penguins sweep series in Cleveland to end road trip." If you're searching the site, "Penguins" is the term to use alongside the sport name.

What Else Appears Alongside Sports

Sports sits within a broader mix of campus and general interest content. The featured section also includes:

Section Example from the site

Note that professional leagues (MLB, NFL) are covered too, so not every sports story is about YSU — check the byline and headline for the Penguins reference.

How to Find a Specific Game or Team

  1. Open the site and scan the Featured Articles section for recent game recaps.
  2. Use the post navigation at the bottom of the page — it runs to page 1,470, so older coverage is archived in sequence.
  3. Search or scan headlines for "Penguins" plus the sport (football, volleyball) to narrow results.
  4. Open the article to confirm the opponent, date, and writer, since excerpts on the front page are truncated.

If you're looking for a sport not shown in the featured list, the archive pagination is the most reliable route to older stories.
