2011 BIG TEN REVIEW 2011 BIG TEN FINAL STANDINGS
The most successful team in Big Ten women’s soccer history, the Penn State Nittany Lions captured their 14th consecutive conference regular season title in 2011 and have won five tournament crowns, most recently in 2008. One of only two conference schools to appear in the prestigious NCAA College Cup, Penn State has finished third or better in the conference every year since the program’s inception and has participated in the Big Ten Tournament in every year from 1994-2011 (there was no tournament in 2010 and 2011). The 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). The 14 consecutive titles won by the Nittany Lions is the most in Big Ten women’s sports history. The Michigan swimming and diving teams of the 1990s had a dozen and the current Northwestern tennis team also has 13. Penn State goes for its 15th straight title this season and another automatic NCAA bid. Penn State has the most NCAA appearances (17) of any Big Ten school. As a member of the Big Ten, the Nittany Lions hold the record at 17, while Wisconsin and Illinois are at 10. PSU has played the most NCAA games in Big Ten history (49), while winning the most (32) and boasting the best winning percentage (.663). Penn State swept the 2009 season-ending Big Ten Awards slate as head coach Erica Coach took home Coach of the Year honors, while seniors Katie Schoepfer and Alyssa Naeher were named the league’s Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, respectively. Newcomer Christine Nairn garnered Freshman of the Year accolades, while also being a unanimous selection on the All-Big Ten First Team. Danielle Toney joined Nairn, Schoepfer and Naeher on the All-Big Ten First Team and freshman Lexi Marton gathered AllBig Ten Second Team and All-Big Ten Freshman Team honors. Nairn earned first-team honors in 2010 as Tani Costa, Emma Thomson, and Toney were second-team mentions. Costa and Bri Hovington were added to the All-Freshman team. 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. The duo remain the only women’s soccer players to receive the honor. Additionally, Welsh was the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy recipient in 2001.

PROGRAM 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 17-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... 1977 • January: A group of female athletes organized the International Soccer Club – Women’s Division on campus. 1979 • January: The University formally recognized women’s soccer as an independent club sport. 1993 • November: In its final club season, Penn State compiled a 7-5-1 record. Seven team members made the varsity roster in 1994. 1994 • January 7: Patrick Farmer was hired as the first head coach of Penn State women’s soccer after a very successful career at Ithaca College. • September 3: The Nittany Lions took the field for the first time, losing at James Madison, 4-1. Freshman Rachel Hoffman recorded the team’s first-ever goal. • September 11: Penn State claimed its first women’s soccer victory with a 4-1 win at Towson State. • September 18: With a 2-1 win over Indiana, PSU won its first home game at Jeffrey Field while recording its first Big Ten win. • October 7: Unranked Penn State registered its first upset of a nationally-ranked foe, knocking off No. 8 Wisconsin, 3-0, in Madison, Wis. • November 4: Following the inaugural season, the Lions participated in their first-ever Big Ten Tournament. 1995 • October 10: Penn State jumped into the national spotlight, receiving its first national ranking.

by the coaches. • November 17: On the road, Penn State claimed its first NCAA Tournament victory with a 2-0 shutout at No. 19 George Mason. 1997 • August 3: Making international history, Penn State became the first American women’s team to play in England’s Wembley Stadium. The Nittany Lions lost to the London Select Team, 3-2, before 40,000 fans. Junior Carole Dutchka became only the second American and first-ever American woman to score a goal in Wembley. • November 16: Senior Rachel Hoffman concluded her PSU career as the Lions’ most decorated player. The four-time All-Big Ten and NSCAA All-Region selection ended her fouryear stint as the Big Ten’s all-time scoring leader.

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 FACommunity 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.
Champion Nittany Lions swept the league’s annual honors as Christie Welsh earned Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year accolades. • November 21: With its 5-0 blasting of No. 19 Southern Methodist in the NCAA third round, the Nittany Lions claimed the 100th victory in the program’s history and the 50th win at home on Jeffrey Field. • November 27: Following its 2-0 shutout of Hartford in the NCAA quarterfinals, Penn State became the first Big Ten school to advance to the NCAA Women’s College Cup since the Conference began sponsorship in 1994. • December 3: Making their national television debut on ESPN2, the No. 6 seeded Nittany Lions lost 2-0 to No. 2 seed North Carolina in the Women’s College Cup. 2000 • January: Head coach Patrick Farmer earned NSCAA National Coach of the Year honors at the coaches’ annual convention.

PENN STATE LEGEND CHRISTIE WELSH: 2001 NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Christie Welsh, the most decorated player in Penn State women’s soccer history, swept collegiate soccer’s national player of the year awards as a junior in 2001, winning the Hermann Trophy and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Missouri Athletic Club Player of the Year.

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 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. 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. Last season was the first year since 1994 the Lions didn’t find their names in the final poll. Last year, Penn State’s exciting run through the Big Ten captured notice of voters across the nation after poor early showings. The Nittany Lions wound up as one of the first teams out of the poll in 2010.

M.A.C. HERMANN TROPHY HISTORY PENN STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER AND THE M.A.C. HERMANN TROPHY In its first 18 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, Tiffany Weimer and Maya Hayes. All four 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. Seven of the past 12 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, four Nittany Lions have been finalists for the award, while eight 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) and Christine Nairn (2010).
