UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State sophomore Tara Davies (Cape May Court House, N.J.) earned yet another honor this week as she was named to Soccer Buzz National Team of the Week. Davies earned her third award this week after her performances helped the Nittany Lions shutout then-No. 4 Purdue as well as a 2-1 win over Indiana.
After being assigned to each opponent's top attacker during the weekend, mostly in one-on-one situations, Davies responded to the challenge by holding each team to little production both games. This past week, Davies was also named to Soccer America's Team of the Week and garnered her first Big Ten Weekly honor of her career.
Davies and the No. 7 Nittany Lions will try to hold onto their one-game lead in the Big Ten conference standings this weekend when Penn State travels to Ohio State this weekend for a 7:30 p.m. kick-off with the Buckeyes. With a win, the Nittany Lions will gain their 10th consecutive Big Ten championship. The Nittany Lions (8-1-0 Big Ten) currently lead the Boilermakers (7-1-1) by two points in the standings.
