Since it first began in 1986, Penn State's Iron Lions have been a power house of strength for both men and women. The club team has gained national recognition through out the years, and is one of the few stand out teams in the Northeast. In early April the team entire team will travel to Orlando, Florida  to compete against 35 other schools for national championship. This is following both Penn State men's and women's teams placing first at the American Open last December in King of Prussia.
