UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -There was nothing more perfect than Aurelia Meijer's interview on the Big Ten Network after her dramatic game-winning goal with no time left against Iowa over the weekend. Meijer's positive attitude and passion for the game shone through in the interview, and her coach thought it was a special moment as well.
"I think her interview was just so priceless; it was so spontaneous. Just all the interactions just even from some friends of mine that send out [things] on our alumni page and people contacting me about it I think that was priceless," said head coach Charlene Morett-Curtiss.
Meijer has improved so much throughout the season that she has become the main go-to option even as a freshman. She has been taking all the practice reps on penalty corners in practice this week.
There are still critical games to be played this weekend in the Big Ten, including at Northwestern. There is a big mess in the middle of the standings in the Big Ten Conference, with Northwestern, Ohio State and Indiana at 4-3, and Penn State at 3-4. With a win this weekend, the Nittany Lions would be tied with the Wildcats and could move up from the six seed all the way to the three seed. But the team is not concerned about seeding at this time because of the importance of playing well going in.
