UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Superstars shine in all levels of sports. They are why fans come out to games and they are the ones that garner the most attention. However, what separates good teams from great ones is depth.
Last season the Penn State women's hockey team enjoyed its best season in program history. They posted 17 wins, thanks largely in part to eight players recording double-figure point totals during the season.
This year, the Nittany Lions are poised to continue their winning ways and the return of seven of those eight top scorers will definitely help the cause.
"We have talent, depth, strength, speed and experience," said Coach Josh Brandwene. "If we can continue to work hard and have a growth mindset all year, the sky's the limit."
That talent, depth and speed were on display for the Nittany Lions in their first game of the year, as they dispatched Guelph in a scrimmage, 1-0.
Though the Nittany Lions only scored one goal, the offense looked much better than the score indicated and all four lines showed signs of potency. Also, the in game adjustments made by the team seemed to be a big talking point for Brandwene as he has preached a growth mindset from the beginning of the season.
