Penn State Women’s Soccer To Open NCAA Tournament Against Stony Brook
After falling to No. 9 UCLA 1-0 in the Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinals, Penn State women’s soccer is turning its attention to the NCAA Tournament.
No. 4-seeded Penn State will face Stony Brook in the first round of the tournament. The time and date have yet to be announced.
