HEAD COACH ERICA DAMBACH
ERICA DAMBACH Head Coach • 15th Year William & Mary, ’97
2021
RECORD AT PSU: 231-76-21 (.736) Overall Record: 271-104-24 (.711) The leadership of Penn State women’s soccer head coach Erica Dambach continues to produce incredible success season after season. While trophies, academic awards and international achievements line the walls as evidence of a championship program, her impact on her Nittany Lion student-athletes stands as the truest testament to her teams’ culture of excellence.
Dambach led Penn State to its eighth Big Ten Tournament title in 2019 as the Nittany Lions won 11-straight games en route to the championship, the longest winning streak since 2015. Dambach earned her 250th career win with a 1-0 win over Indiana during the 2019 campaign and Penn State moved to the NCAA Round of 16 or better for the seventh time in the last nine seasons.
The numbers that document Penn State’s success are staggering. The 2020-21 season added a 20th regular-season Big Ten Championship trophy, the 11th under Dambach’s watch. Penn State made its 26thstraight NCAA Tournament appearance, moving to the third round for the fourth consecutive season and eighth time in 10 years while recording a double-digit win total for the 27th-straight season.
Senior Kaleigh Riehl became the NCAA all-time leader in minutes played for a field player in 2019. Riehl was named a second-team All-American and a first-team Scholar All-America and earned her fourth All-Big Ten honor of her career. Four Nittany Lions earned all-region honors in 2019 and eight earned All-Big Ten honors highlighted by Ally Schlegel being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
A two-time National Coach of the Year and five-time Big Ten Coach of the Year, Dambach has led her teams to 17 NCAA Tournaments, 11 Big Ten titles, four Big Ten Tournament titles and the 2015 NCAA National Championship.
Kaleigh Riehl was selected with the 11th overall selection in the NWSL draft, marking the 13th draft selection in program history since the draft began in 2013. Riehl finished her career as one of the most decorated Nittany Lions in program history under the direction of Dambach.
In 18 years as a head coach, 14 leading the Nittany Lions, Dambach has accumulated 271 career wins with a .709 winning percentage.

Ogle was a second-team All-American, first-team Scholar All-American and Big Ten Midfielder of the Year in 2018. Maddie Nolf was selected 27th overall by the Utah Royals FC. Nolf was a three-time academic All-Big Ten selection and led the team in minutes played. 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 22ndstraight 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 Dambach’s 200th career win as an NCAA Division I women’s soccer head coach.
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. A 10th NCAA Tournament semifinal appearance and the seventh 20-win season program history define the 2014 season. 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. 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 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 outscoring 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.
During the fall of 2015, the Penn State women’s soccer team recorded a 3.49 grade-point average in the classroom to showcase academic excellence with the program’s first NCAA title and a pair of Big Ten titles.
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 States 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.
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, North Carolina. The NCAA title was the first in program history and the first by a Big Ten women’s soccer program.
During the 2010 season, Dambach’s young club made a remarkable turnaround mid-season, overcoming a two-game deficit in the league standings over the final weeks to capture a share of its 13th straight Big Ten title.
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.
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.
Raquel Rodriguez capped off her historic career in the Blue & 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). Rodriguez garnered NSCAA Scholar Player of the Year honors, was
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.

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.

PENN STATE PLAYS IN LONDON’S HISTORIC WEMBLEY STADIUM
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).

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.

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.

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 AllTournament 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 UNITED SOCCER COACHES (NSCAA) POLL HISTORY
PENN STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER AND THE MAC HERMANN TROPHY
The Nittany Lions made their first appearance in the National Soccer Coaches’ Association (NSCAA) poll on October 10, 1995, with a No. 22 ranking in the nation. Since that first ranking, Penn State was a familiar listing in the nation’s final Top 25 for 13-straight seasons (1995-2007), earning 11 Top-10 ratings, including nine seasons in a row from 1998-2006. In 2005, the Nittany Lions received their highest final ranking ever, finishing second nationally after tying eventual NCAA champion Portland, 0-0, in the College Cup semifinals.
In its first 26 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.
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.
2021
In 2007, Penn State finished with a No. 12 ranking in the final NSCAA poll. The Nittany Lions returned to the final rankings in 2009 (22), missed 2010's list and then in 2011, made a run to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament and earning a No. 8 final ranking. The Nittany Lions reached the National Championship game for the first time in program history in 2012. 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. Penn State claimed the 2015 National Championship and No. 1 ranking after a semifinal appearance and No. 6 final ranking in 2014.
All six were finalists for the MAC Hermann Trophy, awarded to the top collegiate soccer player in the country, with Welsh becoming the first from Penn State recognized with the prestigious honor in 2001 and Rodriguez winning the award in 2015. Since 2000, 19 Nittany Lions have either won the award, were runners-up or were named a semifinalist. Nittany Lions have been named finalists for the award seven times and have been on the watch list or among the semifinalists for the award on 14 occasions. Penn State’s semifinalists have included Erin McLeod (2005), Ali Krieger (2006), Katie Schoepfer (2009), Maya Hayes (2012, 2013), Whitney Church (2014), Kaleigh Riehl (2018) and Ally Schlegel (2020-21).
