BELLEFONTE — Two Penn State football players were ordered Wednesday to stand trial on refiled felony assault charges in connection with a campus fight last year.

Police said defensive tackle Chris Baker and linebacker Navorro Bowman beat up a man during a fraternity dance party at the student union building in October.

District Judge Carmine Prestia had dismissed the felony counts last month and ordered the players to stand trial on misdemeanor charges.

But the Centre County District Attorney's office refiled the felony charges in late December, saying that Prestia erred. Prosecutors also filed a request for a new judge, which was granted.
