Penn State Men’s Soccer Releases 2021 Schedule

The road back to the NCAA Tournament was made clear on Tuesday for Penn State men’s soccer. Jeff Cook’s side will play a 10-game regular season schedule, with all of its matches within the Big Ten conference.

The season kicks off on Friday, February 19 when Penn State hosts traditional powerhouse Maryland. Following the season opener, the Nittany Lions will head on the road for the first time in 2021 to face Rutgers on February 23.

Penn State will return home for a Saturday, February 27 contest with Michigan State, before embarking on a quick road spell against Michigan (March 3) and Indiana (March 7).
