UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - This year, one of the biggest goals for the soccer program is keeping the legacy of GoalkeeperU alive and well here in Happy Valley.
This program is designed to not only attract the best goalies to play for Penn State, but also to train the current goalies to perform to the best of their abilities.
A goalie arguably is one of the toughest players on the field; he's the last line of defense and sometimes the only thing preventing the other team from scoring.
Currently the Nittany Lions have four goalkeepers that range from freshman to redshirt-senior in class level.
Although these four guys all came to State College with the same goalkeeping dreams, they each come from different backgrounds and interests outside of Jeffrey Field.
New to the program and starting goalie is redshirt-senior Matt Bersano. Before Penn State, Bersano graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in speech communication, and now is enrolled in the masters program for international affairs at PSU.
Going from West coast to East coast, Bersano credit's the team for making the transition easier.
