A drop in the rankings.

Penn State women’s soccer fell to No. 18 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll on Tuesday. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 8 in the country before tying Nebraska and dropping a game to No. 20 Wisconsin last week.

Erica Dambach’s squad is 5-3-2 through the first month of the season. Fellow Big Ten teams, No. 8 Iowa, No. 20 Wisconsin, and No. 23 Ohio State join the Nittany Lions in the rankings.

The blue and white are away this week, looking to get back in the win column against Illinois and Northwestern.
