Former Penn State women’s soccer goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher will sit out of the United States’ Olympic bronze medal match against Australia Thursday after suffering a hyperextended knee and bone contusion.

Naeher received the injury during Team USA’s game against Canada on Monday. Twenty-two minutes into the semifinal match, Naeher landed awkwardly after attempting to contest a cross. Eight minutes later, she was pulled from the game.

“I’m disappointed I won’t be able to be on the field Thursday with my teammates competing for a medal, but I know this group will bounce back from a tough loss,” Naeher said in a statement Tuesday. “I can’t wait to watch them fight for a bronze medal and I will be here to support the team in any way I can to help us get it done.”

Should the U.S. advance and Naeher get healthy, she’ll get the chance to continue a strong Olympic campaign. Her unstoppable performance against the Netherlands last week helped her team stay in contention for a medal.

Naeher currently plays with the National Women’s Soccer League’s Chicago Red Stars. She shined at Penn State from 2006 to 2009 and started 74 matches for the Nittany Lions.
