WHY PENN STATE
"I chose Penn State because from my first steps on campus I knew that nowhere else in the world would compare to how I felt there. Penn State truly has everything I wanted in a college. The women's soccer program is unlike any other in the country. The pure grit, determination, and family atmosphere within the phenomenal coaching staff and players make Penn State the best college environment possible. Aside from being one of the best teams in the nation, you can tell the coaches emphasize developing their players as people, not just soccer players. In addition to this, going to Penn State brings endless opportunities such as the academics, alumni program, passionate student body, THON, and the beautiful campus."
