Bayleigh Hoffman's journey of walking on to Penn State is a winding one, but the senior defensive specialist is already proving an asset.
Eight true freshmen made their Penn State debuts Saturday. A handful more could join them in the coming weeks.
Bayley Feist scored the game-winning goal in the 13th minute, while Wake Forest goalkeeper Nonie Frishette made a career-high 12 saves.
In his Penn State debut, redshirt freshman receiver KJ Hamler provided a pivotal kickoff return and scored the game-tying touchdown.
Freshman right side Jonni Parker tied her career high with 11 kills in Penn State's sweep of the Aggies Saturday night.
KJ Hamler's touchdown tied the game with 42 seconds left, then Miles Sanders provided the winning 4-yard score in overtime.
