WHY PENN STATE
“Years ago, when I began the recruiting process, I asked some of my older ECNL teammates how they knew what school was right for them. At the time, they offered the seemingly unhelpful advice of, ‘you will know when you know.’ When I came to State College and historic Jeffrey Field for the first time years ago, I knew exactly what they were talking about, and more importantly, I knew that it was exactly where I wanted to play college soccer. The PSU women's soccer coaching staff along with former and current players have worked tirelessly to create a hardworking, relentless, team-over-self culture that I am proud to be a part of. I am grateful and honored to be part of the Nittany Lion Family.”
