WHY PENN STATE
"I chose Penn State for its outstanding education, top tier soccer program, and ties to my family.

The women's soccer program at Penn State is recognized as one of the best in the country, and because of the incredible coaching staff, team, and the atmosphere that they have built, I knew that Penn State was where I belonged.”
