HEAD COACH ERICA DAMBACH ERICA
DAMBACH Head Coach • 12th Year William & Mary, ’97 RECORD AT PSU: Overall Record:
184-60-18 (.736) 224-88-21 (.704)
Head coach Erica (Walsh) Dambach enters her 12th season at the helm of the Penn State women’s soccer program in 2018. During the 2017 season, the Nittany Lions advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament for the third time in four seasons, and captured their seventh Big Ten Tournament title with a dramatic 2-1 win over Northwestern in Grand Park, Indiana, on Nov. 5, 2017. Following the 2017 campaign, Frannie Crouse (No. 10 – North Carolina Courage) and Brittany Basinger (No. 21 – Washington Spirit) were selected in the 2018 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) College Draft, which extended Penn State’s streak of having at least one selection in every NWSL College Draft. The 2016 campaign saw the Nittany Lions capture their 18th Big Ten regular season title in 19 seasons and they advanced to their 22nd-straight NCAA Tournament. The Blue and White opened the 2016 season with a 1-1 tie against No. 6 West Virginia in front of a program-record 5,791 fans at Jeffrey Field. Along with a program-record crowd in the season opener, Penn State captured two milestone victories during the 2016 slate. On Aug. 21, the Nittany Lions topped Hofstra, 3-1, for their 400th victory in program history and on Sept. 9, the Nittany Lions defeated San Diego State, 3-0, for Coach Dambach’s 200th career win as an NCAA Division I women’s soccer head coach. During the fall of 2015, the Penn State women’s soccer team recorded a 3.49 GPA in the classroom to go along with the program’s first NCAA title and a pair of Big Ten titles. Dambach’s squad finished the 2015 season with a 22-3-2 record, its eighth 20-win season, by defeating No. 20 Duke 1-0 in the College Cup Final on Dec. 6, 2015, in Cary, N.C. The NCAA title was the first in program history and the first by a Big Ten women’s soccer program. The Nittany Lions outscored the opposition 20-0 during their 2015 NCAA Tournament run, and did not allow a goal over the final 733:32 of the season. Raquel Rodriguez capped off her historic career in the Blue and White by scoring the lone goal in the NCAA title match in the 72nd minute. Rodriguez followed up her game-winner in the title match by claiming the second MAC Hermann Trophy in program history in January 2016 (Welsh – 2001). To go along with the MAC Hermann Trophy, Rodriguez garnered NSCAA Scholar Player of the Year honors, the Honda Sport Award winner for women’s soccer and was named a NSCAA First Team All-American. Following the 2015 season, Dambach received NSCAA Coach of the Year honors for the second time in her Nittany Lion career (2012). In January 2016, all three Nittany Lion captains were selected in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) draft. Rodriguez was selected with the No. 2 pick by Sky Blue FC, Mallory Weber went to the Western New York Flash at No. 14 and Britt Eckerstrom was the first goalkeeper selected at No. 26 by the Western New York Flash. In 2014, Dambach led the Blue and White to its 10th NCAA Tournament semifinal appearance and the seventh 20-win season in program history. Penn State, which had an 11-member freshman class, earned its third outright conference title in four years, maintaining a top-11 national ranking throughout the season and defeating five top-25 opponents. Under Dambach’s direction, picking up her third Big Ten Coach of the Year award, Penn State collected three of four Player of the Year awards. Whitney Church, the conference’s Defender of the Year, was named a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist and an NSCAA All-America first team selection before she became the 30th overall pick in the NWSL draft by the Washington Spirit. Also earning individual Big Ten awards were Raquel Rodriguez, who bagged Midfielder of the Year honors, and Emily Ogle, the Freshman of the Year.

2018 PENN STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER
The Nittany Lions appeared in their 19th-straight NCAA Tournament in 2013, due in part to the success of senior Maya Hayes. The sixth-overall selection in the NWSL draft, Hayes set Penn State’s single season record for points (79) and finished her career ranked third in goals scored (71) and points (163), sixth in game-winning goals (17) and seventh in shots (291). Hayes also became the seventh MAC Hermann Award Trophy semifinalist in program history. Dambach’s 2012 Nittany Lions were, at the time, the most successful team in program history after advancing to their first-ever national title game. The Nittany Lions won 21 of 27 games and were unbeaten in Big Ten action with a 10-0-1 record. The Lions registered their 15th consecutive Big Ten title and 18th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance. The 15-title mark stands as the most consecutive Big Ten Championships by a women’s program, along with the Northwestern tennis team (1999-2014). Senior Christine Nairn became just the seventh Nittany Lion to finish as a finalist for the prestigious Missouri Athletic Club’s Hermann Trophy in 2012, under Dambach’s tutelage, while junior Maya Hayes was named a semifinalist for the award. Dambach’s success was recognized at the conference and national level as she earned Big Ten Coach of the Year and NSCAA National Coach of the Year honors. Her 2011 team was a dominant force, winning 21 of 26 matches, while out-scoring opponents 70-24. Penn State was 10-1-0 in Big Ten action and posted the seventh undefeated season at Jeffrey Field (9-0). Dambach helped guide the Lions to their 14th-straight Big Ten title and a spot to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen for the first time since 2007. With Dambach’s guidance, sophomore Maya Hayes became the nation’s most prolific scorer in soccer in 2011 and was a finalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy. Hayes led the nation with 31 goals and 70 points, breaking the Penn State single-season record for points. During the 2011 summer, Dambach had an extraordinary experience of being one of the top assistants to Pia Sundhage and the 2011 United State women’s national team at the FIFA World Cup in Germany. The U.S. made a sparkling run through knockout play to the final, falling to eventual champion Japan.

After a tough 2-4 start to the 2009 season, Dambach led the Nittany Lions to a remarkable turnaround, going 10-1-2 in the last 13 games of the regular season, earning her the 2009 Big Ten Coach of the Year Award for her efforts. With the impressive end to the season, Dambach and her charges captured the program’s 12th straight Big Ten Championship. By winning the Big Ten, the Nittany Lions continued their string of NCAA Tournament berths, making their 15th straight appearance in the 64-team field in 2009. For the second time in three years, Penn State hosted the first and second rounds of tournament play. Dambach also orchestrated one of the finest awards seasons in Penn State history when Katie Schoepfer, Alyssa Naeher and Christine Nairn swept the year-end Big Ten Player of the Year awards. Schoepfer was named the Offensive Player of the Year, Naeher the Defensive Player of the Year and Nairn the Freshman of the Year. Danielle Toney was named to the All-Big Ten first team, while Lexi Marton garnered a second-team mention. (Dambach has now coached two players of the year to three awards as Naeher was also the 2007 recipient of the Defensive Player of the Year honors in Dambach’s first year in Happy Valley.) Dambach 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 2007 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, Dambach brought with her a wealth of experience at both the international and collegiate levels. She already had 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 in 2004. Dambach
served as head coach of the U-17 team from December 2004 until her arrival at Penn State in February 2007. As of January 2009, Dambach was appointed as a member of the Panel of Instructors and Lecturers for 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, Dambach was named by Pia Sundhage as the assistant coach for the U.S. National Team. With Dambach’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 Dambach’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. Under-17 team prior to her hiring at Penn State, Dambach has consistently been active among the coaching ranks both at the NCAA Division I level and the U.S. Youth National Team program for nearly a decade. Prior to her time with the Crimson, she was part of a Florida State staff that led the Seminoles to one of their most successful years to date. FSU joined Penn State in the 2005 Women’s Soccer College Cup, with both programs reaching the national semifinals. Dambach’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. After helping the team to a final NSCAA ranking of No. 8 at the conclusion of the team’s 1998 NCAA quarterfinal run, as well as an Ivy League championship in 1999, Dambach assumed head coaching duties before the 2000 season. As head coach, Dambach led the Big Green to back-to-back Ivy League co-championships in 2000 and 2001. Her squad was ranked in the NSCAA’s top 25 each year, rising as high as No. 13 in 2001. In her three seasons as head coach, Dartmouth was invited to the NCAA Tournament each season and reached the round of 16 twice. All three of her teams earned the NSCAA’s Academic Team Award. Dambach left Dartmouth to earn her master’s in business administration at Lehigh University where she served as a graduate assistant from 2003-04. Beginning in the spring of 2004, Dambach joined the United States Under-19 team as an assistant coach where she helped with preparations for the Under-19 World Cup. The U.S. finished with the bronze medal in Thailand after defeating Brazil in the third-place match. After the World Cup, Dambach was appointed the U.S. National Team’s U-17 head coach, a position she held for three years. As a player, Dambach was an NSCAA All-Region selection at William & Mary. A two-time first team All-CAA pick, she propelled her team to four NCAA Tournament appearances as well as two CAA regular season and two CAA league championships. In March of 2010, Dambach’s alma mater, William & Mary, honored her by inducting her into the W&M Athletics Hall of Fame. A high school All-American at Lower Moreland, she was also a member of the U.S. Under-17 National Team. Dambach earned her Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in biology from William & Mary in 1997. The Huntingdon Valley, Pa., native holds an NSCAA Advanced National Degree and a USSF “A” Coaching License. The former Erica Walsh married Jason Dambach in January 2016 and they currently reside in State College, Pennsylvania. Erica and Jason have two daughters, Addie and Kylie.

COOK Associate Head Coach 12th Year • William & Mary, ’97
Ann Cook enters her 12th season with the Nittany Lions in 2018. This will also be the 12th season that Cook will be coaching with former teammate and friend Erica (Walsh) Dambach. The two combined for many wins on the field at William & Mary and have shown their prowess on the sidelines together, as they led the Nittany Lions to the program’s first NCAA title in 2015, two College Cup appearances (2012 & ’15), nine Big Ten titles (2007-12 & 2014-16) and 11 NCAA Tournament appearances (200717). As the associate head coach, Cook is the director of player development and is in charge of the Nittany Lion attack. Since she has been with the Blue & White, Penn State has had one of the most prolific attacks in the country. Prior to the start of the 2017 season, the Nittany Lions tallied the second-most goals in the country from 2011-16. Under the guidance of Cook, four Nittany Lions have scored 100 or more points over their careers. Maya Hayes finished her Nittany Lion career with 163 points (71g, 21a), which ranks third-best in school history. Most recently, Mallory Weber became the 10th Nittany Lion to eclipse the century mark in points during the 2015 season. Weber ended her career at Penn State in 10th with 101 points on 36 goals and 29 assists. In just the last five years, the Nittany Lion attack has produced six players who have been drafted by the National Women’s Soccer League. Throughout her time at Penn State, Cook has been involved in the organization Soccer Without Borders (SWB) and currently serves as a member of its advisory board. SWB’s mission is to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of under-served youth around the world and has project sites in the U.S. as well as in Africa and Central America. Cook has been most involved with its project for girls in Granada, Nicaragua.

As an early assistant project director for SWB, she helped establish what is now a thriving year-round program there. Cook has accompanied Penn State student-athletes there on multiple occasions and she took the team to Nicaragua for spring break 2018 to run camps and clinics for girls as well as coaches’ clinics. They also trained with and played against the Nicaraguan National Team. Because of her time with Soccer Without Borders, Cook has worked with the U.S. State Department on projects in Nicaragua and in Egypt. She also was given the incredible opportunity to go to Papua New Guinea to help the PNG U-20 National Team prepare for the 2016 World Cup. Prior to PSU, Cook was an assistant coach at Nebraska from 2005-2007 and at Missouri State from 2004-2005. As the head coach at Drury University from 1999-2000, Cook oversaw Drury’s transition from NCAA Division II to Division I. Her squad ranked No. 5 in the NCAA Division I poll among new programs in 1999. A three-time All-American, Cook played for the College of William & Mary from 1993-97. In the mix for the Hermann Trophy in both 1995 and 1997, she was the 1997 CAA Conference Player of the Year and CAA Conference Tournament MVP. The Tribe made appearances in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals two of Cook’s four seasons and concluded the seasons ranked in the top five nationally. Active with the U.S. National Team programs, Cook was a member of the U.S. Under-20 team from 1993-95 and played with the full national team in 1998. Professionally, Cook was a fourth-round draft pick (25th overall in the global draft) by the Bay Area CyberRays of the WUSA in 2000. A member of the team that won the WUSA’s inaugural season championship in 2001, she was traded in December of that year to the Washington Freedom, which eventually finished as the 2002 league runners-up. Cook moved to coaching full-time when the WUSA folded after the 2003 season.

WASSELL Assistant Coach Ninth Year • Penn State Altoona, ’06
Tim Wassell returns to Penn State for his ninth season in 2018. With the Nittany Lions, he serves as the recruiting coordinator and focuses on the team’s goalkeepers and defensive unit. Wassell’s goalkeepers have found great success not only at Penn State, but at the national level, as well. Rose Chandler and Amanda Dennis have seen extensive time with the U.S. Women’s National Team program. For Chandler, she was a member of the U.S. U-20 WNT that won the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 World Cup Qualifying Tournament and was on the U.S. U-20 WNT at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. At the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 World Cup Qualifying Tournament, Chandler started all five matches in net for the Red, White and Blue, which included three-straight shutouts to capture the tournament title. For her performance in net at the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 World Cup Qualifying Tournament, Chandler received the Golden Glove award. Chandler and four other Nittany Lions missed the 2016 Penn State women’s soccer season as they were at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup with the U.S. U-20 WNT. The 2016 season featured Dennis, a freshman that year, start all 21 matches in net for the Nittany Lions. With her start on Aug. 19, 2016, against No. 6 West Virginia, Dennis became the first Nittany Lion true freshman goalkeeper to start the first match of the season since future Olympian Alyssa Naeher recorded a start in net against No. 2 UCLA on Aug. 25, 2006. Following the 2016 regular season, Dennis was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team. Under the direction of Wassell, the Nittany Lions tallied one of the best defensive efforts in program history during the 2015 season. As a defensive unit, the Nittany Lions allowed only 14 goals on the year and a goals against average of .51, which ranks third-best in program history. The Nittany Lions’ 15 shutouts in 2015 tied the second-best performance in school history (2004). The Nittany Lion defensive prowess was on display during the 2015 NCAA Tournament. The Penn State defense did not concede a goal over the final 733:32 of the season and only allowed 13 shots on goal in six games during the 2015 NCAA Tournament. As recruiting coordinator, Wassell has brought some of the nation’s top recruiting classes to Happy Valley. According to TopDrawerSoccer.com, the Nittany Lions tallied back-to-back No. 2 overall recruiting classes in 2014 and 2015 and brought in the No. 4 class in 2017. The 2014 class featured Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Emily Ogle, and the 2015 class featured the No. 5 overall signee, Ellie Jean, as well as the No. 10 overall signee, Kaleigh Riehl, just to a highlight a few. The 2017 class, ranked fourth overall, features four Nittany Lions in the top-30, including No. 5 overall signee Frankie Tagliaferri.
18 BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS 1998-2012, 2014-16

Eckerstrom finished her Nittany Lion career with a record of 61-14-3, 255 saves, a save percentage of .804, a goals against average of .80 and 6,957 goalie minutes played. Her 61 wins are the second-most by a Nittany Lion keeper, her 255 saves rank fourth in the Nittany Lion rankings, her save percentage of .804 ranks sixth and her 6,957 minutes in net are third-best in program history. Eckerstrom was selected as the top goalkeeper in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) 2016 College Draft with the No. 26 pick by the Western New York Flash. Over three seasons from 2007-09 at Penn State Altoona, Wassell led the women’s program to a 48-11-5 overall record as head coach, taking home NSCAA Great Lakes Coach of the Year honors in 2008. He was also named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Coach of the Year in 2007 and 2008. While with the Nittany Lions in Altoona, Wassell’s defenseoriented teams posted 39 shutouts in 64 games as the squad set new marks for wins in every year of his tenure with 13, 17 and 18, respectively. During the 2008 campaign, the squad posted the third-best goals against average in Division III at 0.34. Eighteen Lions earned All-AMCC honors and 24 were named to the Academic All-AMCC team during the three-year tenure, which outscored opponents 172-40. Additionally, Wassell’s charges collected three NSCAA Great Lakes All-Region selections, including the only freshman on the first or second team in 2008. The team reached the 2008 NCAA Division III Tournament, falling 1-0 to Otterbein. During that season, PSU Altoona went without a loss in the regular season.

A highlight to his success at Penn State Altoona was a 641-minute shutout streak during the 2004 season, which, at the time, ranked in the top-15 in Division III history. Wassell was an accomplished student with two Academic All-AMCC honors, a spot on the Penn State Altoona Dean’s List every semester and a 3.72 cumulative grade point average.

PENN STATE PLAYS IN LONDON’S HISTORIC WEMBLEY STADIUM
1997
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 24-year varsity history, the Nittany Lion women’s soccer program has grown by leaps and bounds. Here’s a look at its history, so far...
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 FA Community Shield Match, which pitted the men’s regular-season league champion (Manchester United) against the league cup winner (Chelsea FC). The 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 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. The 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. After falling behind early in the second stanza, PSU reeled off three unanswered goals from Rachel Hoffman, Kelly Convey and Dutchka for the win. PSU also traveled to Belgium for a match with the Dutch Select Team and to Germany for the S.V. Hemmerdon Frauenfussball Tournament.
• October 8: In the 3-2 overtime win at Iowa, goalkeeper Emily Oleksiuk made school history as the first keeper to record a scoring statistic, assisting All-American Kelly Convey’s goal. • October 24: Sophomore goalkeeper Emily Oleksiuk became the Lions’ all-time winningest keeper with her 34th victory after 42 games in the 3-2 win at George Mason. • November 4: The back-to-back Big Ten Champion Nittany Lions swept the league’s annual honors as Christie Welsh earned Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year accolades.

PROGRAM HISTORY RAQUEL "ROCKY" RODRIGUEZ: 2015 NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR
On Jan. 8, 2016, Raquel Rodriguez capped off an outstanding career for the Penn State Nittany Lions by receiving the honor of MAC Hermann Trophy Winner. The winners and finalists for the MAC Hermann Trophy are determined by a vote of Division I coaches who are members of the NSCAA. Also, an online fan vote (the equivalent of one coach's vote) is factored into the final vote total. The Missouri Athletic Club has been honoring the top players in college soccer since 1986. With the honor of receiving the MAC Hermann Trophy, Rodriguez becomes the second member of the Penn State women’s soccer program to achieve the feat and the third Nittany Lion overall. Rodriguez joins Christie Welsh (2001) and Jim Stamatis (1979) as the lone Nittany Lions to garner the MAC Hermann Trophy. Statistically, Rodriguez didn’t set career-bests in any scoring category, but her leadership on and off the field could be felt during her senior season. Rodriguez, a co-captain in 2015, finished her season with 18 points on six goals and six assists, she started all 27 matches and finished the year with 2,062 minutes played – fifth-best on the team in 2015. Down the stretch run towards the College Cup title, Rodriguez did not leave the field as she played every minute of the NCAA Quarterfinal, Semifinal and Final matches. Rodriguez though did capitalize on
her moment to etch her name into Nittany Lion lore on Dec. 6, 2015. Rodriguez’ goal in the 72nd minute off an assist from fellow senior captain Mallory Weber proved to be the game-winner and helped capture the elusive national title for the Penn State women’s soccer team four years after falling to North Carolina in the 2012 College Cup Final. GoPSUsports.com student writer Jack Dougherty wrote about how the statistics don’t tell the story of Rodriguez’ senior season in an October 2015 blog and he ended the story with “Rodriguez’s selflessness can spur Penn State to great things in 2015, but don’t be surprised if she puts one in the net at the most crucial time when the season’s on the line. That’s just what she does.” Rodriguez earned numerous awards in 2015-16, including: MAC Hermann Trophy winner, Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year Finalist, Honda Sport Award winner, CONCACAF Female Player of the Year nominee, Most Outstanding Player on Offense of the Women's College Cup, Women's College Cup All-Tournament Team, NSCAA Scholar Player of the Year, NSCAA Scholar First Team All-American, NSCAA All-Great Lakes First Team, NSCAA First Team All-American, All-Big Ten First Team, Academic All-Big Ten, TopDrawerSoccer Best XI First Team, TopDrawerSoccer's Player of the Year, Penn State Athletics Female Athlete of the Year and CoSIDA Academic All-District first team.

PENN STATE IN THE POLLS/MAC HERMANN HISTORY NSCAA POLL HISTORY
The 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 found themselves ranked in the nation’s final Top 25 for 13 straight seasons (1995-2007), earning 11 Top-10 rating 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. Prior 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. 2008 was the first year since 1994 that the Lions didn’t find their names in the final poll. The Lions found themselves back on the final poll in 2009 (22) before dropping off again in 2010 and then making a run to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament in 2011, finishing eighth. The 2012 season proved to be PSU’s best season yet as the Lions reached the National Championship game for the first time in program history. Though they lost to North Carolina in the championship, they were just the second Big Ten team to reach the final (Wisconsin, 1991) and they finished the season ranked No. 2 nationally. A semifinal spot in 2014 yielded a No. 6 final season ranking. The Nittany Lions ended the 2015 campaign with the national title in hand and the No. 1 ranking.

PENN STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER AND THE MAC HERMANN TROPHY
In its first 24 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 Maya Hayes, Joanna Lohman, Christine Nairn, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Weimer and Christie Welsh. All six were finalists for the MAC 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 and Rodriguez the second Nittany Lion to win the award in 2015. In 13 of the past 17 years, a Nittany Lion has either won the award, been named the runner-up or was a semifinalist for the award, an amazing accomplishment for such a young program. All told, six Nittany Lions have been finalists for the award, while 10 altogether have been on the watch list or among the semifinalists for the award. Penn State’s semifinalists have included Erin McLeod (2005), Ali Krieger (2006), Katie Schoepfer (2009), Maya Hayes (2012, 2013), and Whitney Church (2014).
