6 2022 >> 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 Theexcellence.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. During the fall 2021 season, Penn State made its 27th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance, moving to the third round for the fifth consecutive season and seventh time in eight seasons while recording a double-digit win total for the 28th-straight season. The successful season was highlighted by individual accolades for the trio of captains, Kerry Abello, Sam Coffey and Ally Schlegel. All three earned All-Big Ten and All-Region recognition. Coffey closed out her collegiate career with All-American second team honors. On the academic side, Coffey and Abello were designated Scholar All-Americans and Academic All-Americans. For the second time in a row, Abello was named the CoSIDA Women's Soccer Academic All-American of the Year.
The shift of the season from fall 2020 to spring 2021 gave the Penn State squad more time to prepare and Dambach’s squad responded with a Big Ten regular-season championship and went undefeated over a 10-match span. The Nittany Lions averaged 2.69 goals per game and led the Big Ten in nearly every offensive category while ranking second nationally in assists (48), third in points (134) and fourth in goals (43) and points per game (8.38), its highest-known output in available NCAA records.

In 2018, Penn State appeared in the NCAA quarterfinals for the fourth time in five seasons. The Nittany Lions won their 19th Big Ten regularseason championship in their 25th season of varsity competition. Kaleigh Riehl was named a MAC Hermann semifinalist, a first-team All-American, first-team Scholar All-American and the Big Ten Defender of the Year following the 2018 season.

Also earning individual Big Ten awards were Raquel Rodriguez, who bagged Midfielder of the Year honors, and Emily Ogle, the Freshman of the Year.
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. 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 Aftertitle.atough 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.

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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Maddie Nolf and Emily Ogle were both selected in the 2019 National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) College Draft following the 2018 season. Ogle was selected 24th overall by Portland Thorns FC. 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.
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.
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.
Along with a program-record crowd in the season opener, Penn State captured two milestone victories during the 2016 slate.

In addition to soccer, I know that I can get a great education and have many opportunities to thrive off the field.

WHY I CHOSE PENN STATE “I chose Penn State because it has the recipe for success that is imperfectly intertwined with who I am. Penn State provides me with everything that I am, and everything I want to be. If I fit the university completely, I’d have no room to grow. It has a lively, fun, family-based atmosphere that I love and resonate with completely. It has a blue-collar, gritty, getdown-to-work aura that I also love, but intend to be more like. I chose Penn State because it has everything that will make my college experience memorable and meaningful, and I know I will be pushed every day to become a better person, player and student.”
