Gladieux was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, too. She leads the conference in goals with seven in regular-season play and a total of 18 this season.
The forward joined Northwestern goalkeeper Annabel Skubisz and Appalachian State goalkeeper Addie Clark as the week’s NFHCA Players of the Week.
Gladieux and the Nittany Lions will close out regular-season conference play against Indiana at 3 p.m. on Friday, October 27, in Bloomington. From there, the group will await slating in the Big Ten Tournament. Penn State is 3-4 in Big Ten play with wins over Ohio State, Michigan State, and Iowa.
