Gough enters her fifth season with the Nittany Lions after earning skating time in each of her previous four seasons. She has established herself as a force on offense, registering a career total of 38 goals and 24 assists with Penn State.
The Ontario, Canada, native burst onto the scene as a freshman skater, playing in all 36 of the Nittany Lions’ games in the 2019-20 season. Gough followed that season with 11 goals and eight assists in a shortened, 21-game 2020-21 season.
In her junior and senior years, Gough continued to improve. Her five power-play goals placed her 14th in the nation in the 2021-22 season, while her seven-game scoring streak last season tied a program record.
