Penn State Women’s Soccer Moves To No. 21 In Week 11 Poll
Penn State women’s soccer is back in the United Soccer Coaches national poll, folks.
After falling out of the rankings in week 10, the Nittany Lions are now ranked No. 21 after picking up an upset win against Wisconsin in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament on October 30. Ally Schlegel scored the game’s lone goal in the 75th minute to send the sixth-seeded team to the tournament semifinals.
Goalkeeper Katherine Asman only had to post four saves on the game in the defensive showcase against the Badgers.
Now, Penn State will head to Columbus, Ohio, to take on No. 2-seeded Northwestern at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 3. The Wildcats are ranked No. 12 nationally and sit at a 7-2-1 conference record. Their only losses came at the hands of No. 6 Michigan State and Iowa.
Should the Nittany Lions win against Northwestern, they will face off against the winner of Michigan State and Nebraska, both of which Penn State suffered losses to, in the Big Ten Tournament final. That match is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 6.
