Get ready to see Grant Ament and Pat Spencer on the same field.

Penn State’s season of firsts has stretched into the second season, as the top-seeded Nittany Lions crushed UMBC 25-10 on Sunday for their first-ever NCAA tournament victory.

Mac O’Keefe and Jack Kelly scored six goals apiece, Dylan Foulds had four goals and three assists, Gerard Arceri won 25 of 27 faceoffs and Ament added to his NCAA single-season record with five assists to go with three goals.

UMBC (7-9), whose mid-major athletics program has developed a likable knack for knocking off No. 1 teams, never stood a chance. Penn State shot a blistering 58 percent, with 10 different players scoring. The Nittany Lions were outshooting the Retrievers 41-18 at one point in the game. They finished with a 43-28 shot advantage.

Penn State (15-1), which has won 12 straight games since a late-February loss to defending NCAA champion Yale, will play eighth-seeded Loyola next Sunday in the quarterfinals in East Hartford, Conn.

The Greyhounds advanced by virtue of a furious rally fueled by Spencer to beat Syracuse on Saturday. Loyola trailed by four goals late in the third quarter before scoring seven straight. Spencer had a hand in nine of the Greyhounds’ 15 goals in a 15-13 victory.

Now we’ll see Ament and Spencer operate on the same stage. Winner take Tewaaraton? With apologies to Yale’s TD Ierlan, Princeton’s Michael Sowers and Maryland’s Jared Bernhardt, it stands to reason that either Ament (NCAA single-season record 83 assists) or Spencer (NCAA career record 226 assists) will be the last one standing on the stage May 30 in Washington, D.C.

Of course, both would prefer to be the last one standing Memorial Day in Philadelphia. Penn State, which had not won a game in four previous NCAA tournament appearances, got one step closer Sunday.
