Penn State women’s soccer’s Molly Martin, Kaitlyn MacBean, and Amelia White were named Big Ten players to watch.

Martin had her strongest performance last season, starting and playing in all 25 matches as she was an instrumental piece in Penn State making the NCAA tournament. The Acton, Massachusetts, native is ranked fourth all-time among Penn Staters in minutes played with 1,953 minutes. This is her first accolade from the Big Ten as a Nittany Lion.

MacBean had the most dominant statistical season by a Nittany Lion since 2013 last season, finishing with 34 points through 16 goals and two assists. She recorded the third-longest goal-scoring streak in program history, tallying eight consecutive matches. This is the graduate student’s second time making this list.

White is entering her final season after playing in 21 matches last year, totaling 1,119 minutes on the pitch. She recorded one goal and five assists last season, totaling five goals and 10 assists over her collegiate career.

The Nittany Lions return to action for their home opener on Thursday, August 21. The game will kick off at 8 p.m. on Big Ten Plus.
