PENN STATE 2009WOMEN’S SOCCER

A stadium rich in history, Jeffrey Field has been the host site for several special women’s soccer contests. Penn State has played NCAA games on its home field every year since 1997 and 11 years overall. Additionally, Jeffrey Field was the site for the 1998 and 2006 Big Ten Conference Tournaments, both of which the Nittany Lions won. e final contest of the 1998 tournament aired on Fox Sports, marking the first-ever television broadcast of women’s soccer from Jeffrey Field. e 2006 Big Ten final was broadcast by CBS College Sports (nee CSTV). e Nittany Lions have enjoyed great success at Jeffrey Field, compiling a 143-14-5 record (.898) in 15 seasons, with six undefeated home slates (1996, ‘98, 2001, ‘02, ‘03 and ‘05) including undefeated home seasons four of the last eight years. Over 100,000 spectators have attended women’s soccer games at Jeffrey Field since 1994. Over the last six seasons, attendance at Nittany Lion women’s games has more than doubled. During the 2006 campaign, Penn State re-wrote its all-time best crowd again. A school-record attendance of 3,208 cheered on the Lions in their upset-victory over No. 2 UCLA on Aug. 25. e Nittany Lion women’s soccer team has hosted some of the top teams in the nation. On Sept. 17, 1999, Penn State played host to defending national champion Florida. Powerhouses such as UCLA, Santa Clara, Southern Methodist, Tennessee, Florida and Maryland as well as No. 1 Notre Dame in 2008, have all visited Jeffrey Field. is year, the Lions will host Virginia, Connecticut, West Virginia, Rutgers, and James Madison in non-conference action as well as an always strong Big Ten slate that includes Ohio State, Northwestern, Iowa, Illinois, and Purdue. On the road, the Nittany Lions have also exhibited their skills before large crowds. In addition to the 40,000 fans at the Wembley exhibition match in 1997, Penn State played before a crowd of 14,013 at the 1999 College Cup in San Jose, Calif., and almost 10,000 at the 2002 College Cup in Austin, Texas. FACILITY HISTORY AND FUTURE Dedicated on Sept. 29, 1972, Penn State’s soccer stadium is named in honor of the late Bill Jeffrey, the Penn State men’s soccer coach from 1926-52. Regarded as the finest grass surface in the country and named such officially in 2006, Jeffrey Field was refurbished first in 1978. New bleachers with a capacity of 3,500 were added along with fencing and an adjacent practice field. New lights were added prior to the 1996 season. During the summer of 2004, Jeffrey Field again underwent a facelift. In addition to a new field surface, new bleachers, a press box and a video booth were also added. Additional improvements are in the long-term plans for the stadium, including a team building with locker and training rooms, and more practical fields in the complex where the former baseball field once stood.

Erica

WALSH

Head Coach • 3rd Year WILLIAM & MARY ‘97

Record at PSU: Overall:

34-12-2 (.729) 74-40-5 (.643)

Head coach Erica Walsh is entering her third season at the helm of the Penn State women’s soccer program. Walsh continued her success from the 2007 campaign into a 16-8-0 record that saw Penn State capture its 11th-straight Big Ten Championship and the 2008 Big Ten Tournament crown. Her transition to Penn State was quite smooth as the team finished 18-4-2 including a 9-1-0 mark in conference play and was ranked 12th in the final NSCAA poll of the season. When she came to Penn State, Walsh brought with her a wealth of experience at both the international and collegiate levels already having coached at six different universities, including three stints as head coach as well as serving as an assistant for the U.S. U-19 team from March to December of 2004 and as head coach of the U-17 team from December 2004 to February of 2007. As of January 2009, Walsh was appointed as a member of the Panel of Instructors and Lecturers fro FIFA Courses. In addition, she was appointed as the Chairman of the Women’s Technical Committee for the period of January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011. In January of 2008, Walsh was named as the assistant coach by Pia Sundhage for the U.S. National Team. With Walsh’s help and guidance the U.S. team completed its historic run with a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing, China. Even sweeter was that Walsh’s main responsibility was the U.S. Team’s defense, which held fellow world power Brazil scoreless in the gold medal game. The head coach at Harvard University as well as the U.S. Under17 team prior to her hiring at Penn State, Walsh has consistently been active among the coaching ranks both at the Division I level and with the U.S. Youth National Team program for nearly a decade. Prior to her time with the Harvard Crimson, she was part of a Florida State staff that led the Seminoles to one of its most successful year to date. FSU joined Penn State in the 2005 Women's Soccer College Cup, with both programs reaching the national semifinals. Walsh's coaching path began in 1997 as a graduate assistant with Bucknell University. In 1998, she accepted a position at Dartmouth where she was an assistant coach for two seasons.

Ann Cook is entering her third season with the Nittany Lions after helping guide them to their 11th-straight Big Ten title. is will also be the third season Cook will be coaching under former teammate and friend Erica Walsh. e two combined for many wins on the field at William & Mary University and have already shown their prowess on the sidelines together as they led the squad to an 16-8-0 slate in 2008 and a 2008 Big Ten Tournament Championship. For the second consecutive year, Cook traveled to Nicaragua with an organization called Soccer Without Borders, brining along a few Nittany Lions in the process to help out. e organization focuses on using soccer as a tool for youth development around the world. e Nittany Lion players helped collect numerous pairs of shoes prior to Cook’s departure and accounted for about 50 young girls in Nicaragua getting new shoes and a new appreciation for soccer. Prior to PSU, Cook was an assistant coach at Nebraska, for two season. Cook was responsible for numerous tasks while at Nebraska including individual and team training, recruiting, video analysis and scheduling. She also worked closely as the staff’s liaison to the Huskers’ athletic support staff. During her tenure at Missouri State from 2004-05, she handled training, recruiting and team travel duties as well as supervising the strength and conditioning program. e head coach at Drury University from 1999-2000, her squad ranked No. 5 in the NCAA Division-III poll among new programs in 1999. A three-time All-American, Cook played for William & Mary from 199397, medically redshirting during the 1996 campaign. In the mix for the Hermann Trophy as well as the M.A.C. Player of the Year Award in both 1995 and 1997, she was the 1997 CAA Conference Player of the Year and CAA Conference Tournament MVP. e Tribe made the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals in two of Cook’s four seasons, grabbing a bid for the Tournament each year.

In 1999, her team finished as the league runners-up. 11-TIME BIG TEN CHAMPIONS 1998-2008

SOCCER WITHOUT BORDERS

ASSISTANT COACH ANN COOK SPENDS TIME gIVINg BACK BY BRINgINg SOCCER TO OTHERS Last spring, Penn State players and families donated close to 100 pairs of shoes for assistant coach Ann Cook to take to Nicaragua with an organization called Soccer Without Borders. Soccer Without Borders' mission is to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of marginalized youth. Working with other community-based organizations in under-served areas, the Soccer Without Borders program combines soccer instruction with life skills education and uses soccer as a tool for youth development. ey are a non-proﬁt organization based here in the U.S. but they have projects all over the world. Ann went to granada, Nicaragua in March to help with the inaugural project for girls in Latin America. “It was an amazing experience. e girls are incredible to work with – they are so eager to play and to learn. Soccer Without Borders has a great vision for change. What I like about it most I think is that it doesn't use the same formula for every place or culture they go into. ey get to know the community a bit and deﬁne its particular needs and then work with the organizations and people who are already there to set up something that will be sustainable largely by local people. e community then has a stake in it and the projects have a better chance of becoming part of the fabric of the community at large.” To read more about Cook’s experiences and the SWB projects visit: www.soccerwithoutborders.org

2009 SEASON OUTLOOK

THE 2009 NITTANY LIONS RETURN TO ACTION IN SEARCH OF RECORD-TYING 12TH-STRAIGHT BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP BOUNCEBACK SEASON IN STORE FOR WALSH AND COMPANY IN QUEST FOR COLLEGE CUP BERTH 2008, was a force in the Big Ten Tournament earning the Offensive MVP. She set new season highs in goals (10), assists (seven) and points (27), second most on the club behind Schoepfer. Toney figures to be a key cog again this year spearheading the attack with Schoepfer. Alongside Schoepfer and Toney will be Nikki Watts, a senior forward from England. Watts impressed last year, appearing in every game notching five goals, three of which were game-winners. Watts wound up with 12 points in 11 starts, third most on the team that will look to her increased production in 2009 in order to succeed. Myers won’t be the only Lion up front with previous experience as Carly Niness saw time in 19 games last year as a freshman, tallying a goal and three assists. A playmaking attacker, Niness looks to continue her

FIFA U-20 World Cup Champion and senior All-American goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher will captain the squad in 2009.

e 2009 season will be viewed by many as a bounce back season despite Penn State capturing its 11th consecutive Big Ten Champion ship in addition to the 2009 Big Ten Tournament title. ird-year head coach Erica Walsh returns nine starters from a team that won 16 games, the fewest for a Nittany Lion squad since 1997. After the team’s 2008 NCAA First Round exit, sights turned to 2009 to recapture the glory of previous years. In 2009, the team will have plenty of tools to brining the Lions back to the pedestal to which they are accustomed. Leading the way to PSU’s fourth Women’s College Cup appearance will be team captain and two-time All-American goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher. Alongside her will be a cast of talent and experience to guide the squad to a 12th-straight Big Ten title and a deep NCAA run. Another Big Ten crown will place the PSU women’s soccer team alongside the Michigan swimming & diving teams of 1987-98 as record holders of the most consecutive Big Ten Championships in women’s sports.

FORWARDS

Up front, Katie Schoepfer and Danielle Toney headline a powerful forward contingent. Schoepfer, a two-time First Team Big Ten selection, looks to return to her 2007 form where she set season highs in goals (15) and points (35) en route to NSCAA Second Team All-America honors. Nevertheless, Schoepfer wound up as the team’s leader in goals and points last year with 11 and 29 respectively. She ranks in the top ten all-time in goals, points, game-winners and shots in Penn State history. On the other hand, Toney, who came on late in 11-TIME BIG TEN CHAMPIONS 1998-2008

With her sights set on filling that role successfully will be U.S. Women’s Senior National Team member and FIFA U-20 World Cup winner Christine Nairn. Donning the 10 this season, Nairn will bring her winning and extremely talented ways to the Blue and White, picking up where Bouchelle left off. In the middle with Nairn for her final season at Jeffrey Field is Melissa Hayes. A starter in 21 of the 24 games last year, Hayes provides leadership and familiarity in a midfield with plenty of experience. A primary kick taker, Hayes will play the part of distributor, setting up the offense with Nairn and getting her teammates involved on the attack. Returning midfielders Meghan Gill, Alli Rago and Meghan Monroig will take up spots alongside Nairn and Hayes displaying their collective veteran prowess. gill was a Second Team All-Big Ten in a breakout campaign last season, bouncing back beautifully after an injury-riddled freshman year in 2007. Walsh and company will rely on gill for her passing ability and scoring spark, as she netted three goals in just 16 games last year. Rago and Monroig have combined for 24 starts in their careers at Penn State, improving every year. Rago scored her first career goals last year, while Monroig posted a goal and two assists as both midfielders saw time in every game last year. Other returners who saw time in midfield last year are Jess Rosenbluth and Ali Schaefer. Rosenbluth played in every match a season ago with 10 starts, notching her first career goal and assist, and will attempt to bump those numbers up in 2009. Schaefer played primarily as a reserve in 11 games a season

Two-time First Team All-Big Ten senior Katie Schoepfer will try to regain her All-American form this season.

positive vibes from her ﬁrst campaign and translate it to her sophomore season. A bevy of freshmen will add to the cast of characters in the forward unit, as a decorated freshman class accustomed to scoring and winning will add much to an already accomplished position. Tani Costa, Julie Hubbard, Jackie Molinda, and Alexa ompson are the quartet of forwards added to Walsh’s arsenal, all will compete for playing time in their ﬁrst years in University Park.

MIDFIELDERS

Of the two graduating seniors from 2008’s starting lineup, Zoe Bouchelle, will leave open a gap for one of the most anticipated incoming freshman in the history of Penn State women’s soccer.

PENN STATE MAKES 14TH-STRAIGHT NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCE AFTER 11TH-STRAIGHT BIG TEN TITLE Penn State continued its winning ways in 2008, winning the Big Ten for the 11th-straight time with an 8-2 record. A mid-season win over Minnesota gave the Nittany Lions possession of the title as they were tied with the Golden Gophers. By virtue of the Big Ten title, Penn State earned its 14th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance. NITTANY LIONS CAPTURE FINAL BIG TEN TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP Prior to the close of the season, the Big Ten announced that the season-ending tournament would see its last edition in 2008. Penn State romped through the ﬁeld, taking three straight against hosts Iowa (2-1), fourth-seeded Michigan State (1-0) and second-seeded Minnesota (2-1), handing the Gophers just their third loss of the year at the time.

HOME WIN STREAK BROKEN Ohio State came into town as an unassuming team muddling through a 7-9-2 campaign, 4-5 in Big Ten play to face the Nittany Lions on Senior Night.

With the Big Ten title already assured, Ohio State broke through for a 1-0 upset of the No. 21 Nittany Lions to drop Penn State’s all-time Big Ten home record to 67-2-3.

THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE

THIS IS THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE

e Big Ten Conference is a union of 11 world-class academic institutions who share a common mission of research, graduate, professional and undergraduate teaching and public service. e conference’s 100-plus years of history, strong tradition of competitive inter -collegiate athletic programs, vast and passionate alumni base, and consistent leadership in innovations position the Big Ten and its entire community ﬁrmly on the Big Stage. e Big Ten has sustained a comprehensive set of shared practices and policies that enforce the priority of academics and emphasize the values of integrity, fairness and competitiveness in all aspects of its student-athletes’ lives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that each individual have the opportunity to live a Big Life.

STUDENT-ATHLETE OPPORTUNITIES

• Big Ten universities provide approximately $100 million in direct ﬁnancial aid to more than 8,500 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 championships, 12 for men and 13 for women. • Conference institutions sponsor broad-based athletic programs with more than 270 teams. Other than the Ivy League, the Big Ten has the most broad-based athletic programs in the United States.

TOP ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS

• Big Ten universities are members of the nation’s only conference whose constituency is entirely composed of institutions that are members of the AAU, a prestigious association of major academic and research institutions in the United States and Canada. • Big Ten institutions house on their campuses 10 of the nation’s 35 largest academic libraries. Collectively, conference libraries hold more than 70 million book volumes, and institutions work collaboratively to build and share their resources with other Big Ten members.

LEADERSHIP IN GENDER EQUITY

• Since 1992, the Big Ten has shown a strong commitment to increasing opportunities for women in sports and exposure of women’s athletics by establishing a multi-phased gender equity program. In that time, the Big Ten has created in excess of 2,000 new opportunities for women student-athletes and established 28 new women’s teams, while expanding the number of women’s championships to 13 by adding field hockey, soccer and rowing. • As part of the gender equity action plan, the Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male/female participation goals for student-athletes in 1992. e Big Ten initiated a five-year plan for conference members to commit to a 60 percent/40 percent male-to-female student-athlete participation ratio. is was achieved as a conference by 1997 and 2000 was the first year that all institutions individually met this goal. As part of its commitment to gender equity, the Council of Presidents/Chancellors annually monitors this policy. Over the past five

• According to the National Association of Collegiate Women’s Athletics Administrators (NACWAA), the Big Ten is one of only two conferences in the nation in which women account for over 50 percent of the head coaching positions and 60 percent of the assistant coaching ranks in women’s sports.

BUILDING THE FUTURE

• In 1989, the Big Ten created a community outreach program - SCORE (Success Comes Out of Reading Everyday), which partnered the conference with two Chicago elementary schools to improve reading performances. What began with one school, two grade levels and five classrooms has grown in its 20th year to include grades kindergarten through eighth, encompassing all classes and students at Melody School and Louis Armstrong School. • Following the national tragedy on Sept. 11, 2001, the Big Ten, through its intercollegiate athletic department revenues, pledged a $1 million scholarship contribution to assist the families of those affected by the terrorist attacks. e conference’s donation is called the “Big Ten 9-11 Scholarship Fund”, and the $1 million contribution will be drawn from conference reserves which are generated as a result of football and men’s basketball participation in NCAA, bowl and regular-season television opportunities. • e Big Ten has established numerous community programs surrounding the Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments, including the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Award Scholarship, the Big Ten Career Fair and the Shoot for the Cure event during the women’s tournament that raised over $10,000 for the Indianapolis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure in its first year.

1999 • 2002 • 2005 WOMEN’S COLLEGE CUP

PENN STATE’S DOMINANCE IN BIG TEN WOMEN’S SOCCER In 15 years of competition, Penn State’s women’s soccer team has dominated the Big Ten Conference. e Nittany Lions have won the last 11 titles and have added five Big Ten Tournament titles to their résumé as well. e Nittany Lions have never had a losing record in the conference, even posting three perfect seasons and four undefeated campaigns, and have never finished lower than third. Two Penn State women’s soccer players, Christie Welsh and Tiffany Weimer, have received the Suzy Favor Award for being Big Ten Women’s Athlete of the Year. e duo remain the only women’s soccer players to receive the honor. Additionally, Welsh was the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy recipient in 2001.

THE BIG TEN NETWORK

Last year, the Big Ten Network produced four Nittany Lion women’s soccer games. e first was a clash against then-No. 1 Notre Dame at Jeffrey Field and the second was a 3-0 win over Big Ten rival Wisconsin, again at Jeffrey Field. PSU’s thrilling 1-0 victory over Minnesota in the Big Ten semifinals and 2-1 win over Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament title game wrapped up the BTN slate for women’s soccer, and the team will be featured again in 2009. e BTN wasn’t the only outlet to show Penn State women’s soccer last year as the James Madison game in Harrisonburg, Va. was broadcasted on the Fox Soccer Channel.

2008 BIG TEN REVIEW 2008 BIG TEN FINAL STANDINGS

e most successful team in Big Ten women’s soccer history, the Penn State Nittany Lions captured their 11th-consecutive conference regular season title in 2008 and have won five tournament crowns, including last year’s final Big Ten Tournament. e only conference school to appear in the prestigious NCAA College Cup, Penn State has finished third or better in the conference and has participated in the Big Ten Tournament each year since the conference began sponsoring the sport in the fall of 1994. e Nittany Lions have completed four perfect conference seasons, including 2005’s 10-0 record. Penn State also went without a loss in 1999 (9-0-1) and 2000 (10-0-0). Big Ten competition is always fierce. Just making the conference tournament is tough as only eight of the 11 nationally competitive Big Ten squads advance to the postseason tournament.

In the short time that the Nittany Lion women’s soccer program has been in existence it has proved to be a force within the NCAA soccer scene but many of its products have also been key contributors on the international scene with both the U.S. and Canadian National Teams. Twenty Nittany Lions have donned their National colors in hopes of bringing their country International success. Head coach Erica Walsh was an assistant on the U.S. Women’s National Team that won gold for the U.S. at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Two-time All-American Erin McLeod was the starting goalkeeper for the Canadian National Team at those Games. Current Nittany Lions Melissa Hayes, Alyssa Naeher, Christine Nairn and Katie Schoepfer have all worn the red, white and blue this past year with Naeher leading the U.S. squad to the FIFA Under-20 World Cup championship last fall. Lexi Marton and Rachel Lamarre have been members of various Canadian National Teams. Ali Krieger, a 2007 graduate, was an alternate on the U.S. Olympic squad and hopes to move her way onto the full squad in the coming years. Junior Katie Schoepfer scored a pair of goals in an U23 U.S. contest versus FC Indiana in June after a three-game tour of Northern Ireland. She completed the summer with the U-23’s competing in London. Former standouts Joanna Lohman, Christie Welsh and Tiﬀany Weimer were all brought into U.S. National team training camps for a shot at the Olympics in 2008.

NITTANY LIONS IN THE PROS NITTANY LIONS IN... WOMEN’S PROFESSIONAL SOCER (WPS)

Seven Lions Drafted or Signed by WPS Clubs During Inagural Campaign After the sudden demise of the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), there were serious doubts about its revival in 2003. Nevertheless, business owners and soccer fans alike willed the league to begin anew, and so launched Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) in the spring of 2009. In the inaugural year, no less than seven Lions have participated in the WPS in some form or another. Original draftees included Christie Welsh and Sheree Gray to the Saint Louis Athletica, while Tiﬀany Weimer was sent out west to play with FC Gold Pride in San Jose, Calif. A trio of PSU stars are key members of the Washington Freedom. Erin McLeod, the WPS Player of the Week in mid-June, is the starting goalkeeper for the club while Ali Krieger returned stateside to join the club in early June, starting in defense. Joanna Lohman is also a member of the Freedom. Bonnie Young was drafted to the Chicago Red Stars. In all, seven teams comprise the WPS landscape including some holdover teams from the WUSA. e Freedom and Boston Breakers are two of those clubs, while the Atlanta Beat will join the league in 2010. New clubs such as the Chicago Red Stars, FC Gold Pride, Los Angeles Sol, Saint Louis Athletica and the Sky Blue FC of New Jersey are looking to tap into markets to rekindle the early magic of the WUSA and sustain the league throughout the years. Many of the teams have links to current Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs, whether it is sharing a stadium or marketing strategies. Washington plays in RFK Stadium with D.C. United, arguably the most successful MLS team. Chicago shares Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Ill. with the Chicago Fire, while Los Angeles plays in Carson, Calif., home of the L.A. Galaxy and Chivas U.S.A. Joining Atlanta as an expansion team in 2010 will be the Philadelphia Independance, who are going to be run in conjunction with the MLS’s newest franchise, the Philadelphia Union in the state-of-the-art Chester Stadium, set to open in 2010 on the banks of the Delaware River.

NITTANY LIONS IN THE... WOMEN’S UNITED SOCCER ASSOCIATION (WUSA) In February of 2000, major U.S. media companies and individual investors joined forces with 20 of the nation’s leading female soccer stars to form the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), the premier top women’s international professional soccer league. In April 2001, the WUSA kicked off its inaugural season with eight teams: Atlanta Beat, Bay Area CyberRays, Boston Breakers, New York Power, Carolina Courage, Philadelphia Charge, San Diego Spirit, and Washington Freedom. ree Penn Staters also participated in the League’s first season as well as former Nittany Lion head coach Patrick Farmer, who left his post with the school to become the head coach of the New York Power.

Four-time regional All-American Rachel Hoffman was drafted in the supplemental draft by New York. Selected in the third round (12th pick), she served as a reserve player for the Power. In 2002, All-American goalkeeper Emily Oleksiuk and regional All-American Bonnie Young were drafted in 2002. Young was selected in the second round (14th overall pick) by her one-time head coach Patrick Farmer. Ending her collegiate career as the NCAA’s leader in goalkeeper minutes played, Oleksiuk was the first pick in the third round and the 17th pick overall. In February 2003, Christie Welsh became the fifth Lion in school history to be drafted in the WUSA when the New York Power selected the Long Island native with the second overall pick. e WUSA suspended operations in 2003, but league “Festivals” were held during the summer of 2004 and the league relaunched as Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) in 2009. 40 PENN STATE 2009WOMEN’S SOCCER

TEAM HISTORY On August 5, 1993, then-athletic director Jim Tarman officially announced that women’s soccer would become Penn State’s 14th women’s varsity sport and 29th varsity athletic team overall. Not since 1977, when Penn State granted women’s volleyball varsity status, had another sport been added to the Nittany Lions’ elite athletic program. In its short 15-year history, the Nittany Lion women’s soccer program has grown by leaps and bounds.

PENN STATE PLAYS IN LONDON’S HISTORIC WEMBLEY STADIUM – AUGUST 1997

Penn State women’s soccer etched its name into the Wembley Stadium record book during its 1997 Summer European Tour. On August 3, 1997, before a near-sellout crowd, Penn State played an exhibition match with the London Select Team prior to the annual FACommunity Shield Match, which pitted the men’s regular-season league champion (Manchester United) against the league cup winner (Chelsea FC). e Nittany Lions became the first American women’s team to play in England’s Wembley Stadium. Carole Dutchka also became only the second American and first-ever American woman to score a goal in Wembley when she tied the score 1-1 late in the first half. Trailing 2-1 midway through the second half, Shari Pickett knocked in a goal to tie the score. But with 8:00 left to play, England scored the final goal to post the 3-2 win in front of 40,000 fans. “Our entire team was excited about (the tour) and about the chance to play in one of the great historical stadiums worldwide,” said then-Penn State 42 PENN STATE 2009WOMEN’S SOCCER

head coach Patrick Farmer. “We saw some different styles of play, and we experienced soccer as more than just a sport. In Europe, the game is a phenomena, it’s a part of the culture. e trip was a great opportunity for our players.” At halftime of the FA Community Shield Match, the Nittany Lions challenged the London Select Team in a penalty kick shootout. Proceeds from the event went to the Charity Shield, England’s equivalent of the U.S. United Way. But Wembley wasn’t Penn State’s only stop. On August 5, the Nittany Lions captured a 4-2 win from Millwall Football Club, the top-ranked club team in the Premier Division, on live national television. Dutchka notched a goal to send the game into halftime knotted 1-1.

HISTORY IN THE POLLS

NSCAA POLL HISTORY

e Penn State Nittany Lions made their first appearance in the National Soccer Coaches’ Association (NSCAA) poll on October 10, 1995, ranking 22nd in the nation. Since that year, the Lions have finished each season ranked in the nation’s Top 25, earning 10 top 10 ratings including nine seasons in a row from 1998-2006. In 2005, the Lions received their highest final ranking ever, finishing second nationally after tying eventual NCAA champion Portland, 0-0, in the College Cup semifinals. Previous to that, Penn State’s No. 4 final ranking in 1999 and 2002, the first two seasons the Nittany Lions advanced to the NCAA College Cup, had been the program’s best. In 2005, Penn State also received its first-ever No. 1 ranking when it took over the top spot on October 11 and held it for three weeks before tying host Michigan at the Big Ten Tournament and falling to No. 3 entering the NCAA Tournament. In 2007, Penn State finished ranked No. 12 in the final NSCAA poll. Last season was the first year since 1994 the Lions didn’t find their names in the final poll.

M.A.C. HERMANN TROPHY

PENN STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER AND THE M.A.C. HERMANN TROPHY In its first 14 years, the Penn State women’s soccer program has put its name on the collegiate soccer map and underlined it with the likes of great players such as Christie Welsh, Joanna Lohman and Tiffany Weimer. All three were finalists for the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy, awarded to the top collegiate soccer player in the country, with Welsh becoming the first Lion to bring home the honor in 2001. Six of the past eight years, a Nittany Lion has either won the award or been named the runner-up, an amazing accomplishment for such a young program. All told, three Nittany Lions have been finalists for the award, while nearly half a dozen have been on the watchlist or among the semifinalists for the award, including semifinalists Erin McLeod in 2005 and Ali Krieger in 2006.

Above: Penn State’s Christie Welsh was the 2001 Hermann Trophy winner as well as the runner-up for the player of the year award in 2000 and 2002. One of Penn State’s most decorated athletes, Welsh is still active with the U.S. Women’s Soccer National Team and is still the Big Ten’s all-time leading scorer.
