JEFFREY FIELD

PENN STATE 2011 • WOMEN’S SOCCER 16 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES 1995-2010

JEFFREY FIELDThe SportsTurf Managers Association’s

2006 COLLEGIATE SOCCER FIELD OF THE YEAR A stadium rich in history, Jeffrey Field has been the host site for several special women’s soc-cer contests . Penn State has played NCAA Tournament games on its home field in 12 different seasons . Additionally, Jeffrey Field was the site for the 1998 and 2006 Big Ten Conference Tourna-ments, both of which the Nittany Lions won . The final contest of the 1998 tournament aired on Fox Sports World (Fox Soccer Channel), marking the first-ever television broad-cast of women’s soccer from Jeffrey Field . The 2006 Big Ten final was broadcast by CSTV (CBS College Sports) . Entering the 2011 season, Jeffrey Field will sport the finest surface in collegiate soccer once again . During the summer, the perennial Kentucky bluegrass was replaced with ryegrass, the same turf upon which the English Premier League competes . Coupled with the soccer-only practice fields, which were opened in the fall of 2008 and features separate pitches for the men’s and women’s teams, natural grass surfaces, grids for specialty training, and a state-of-the-art irrigation and drainage system, Penn State has placed itself at the forefront of collegiate soccer facilities . The Nittany Lions have enjoyed great success at Jeffrey Field, compiling a 163-20-6 record ( .878) in 17 seasons, with six undefeated home slates (1996, ‘98, 2001, ‘02, ‘03 and ‘05) including undefeated home seasons four times in the past decade . Over 120,000 spectators have attended women’s soccer games at Jeffrey Field since 1994 . Over the past seven seasons, attendance at Nittany Lion women’s games has more than doubled . During the 2006 campaign, Penn State re-wrote its all-time best crowd as a frenzied crowd of 3,208 cheered on the Lions in their upset-victory over No . 2 UCLA on Aug . 25 . On Aug . 27, 2010, Penn State played Virginia to a 1-1 draw in front of nearly 4,000 fans, another new record . The Nittany Lion women’s soccer team has hosted some of the top teams in the nation . On Sept . 17, 1999, Penn State played host to defending national champion Florida . Powerhouses such as UCLA, Santa Clara, Portland, Tennessee, Florida and Maryland as well as No . 1 Notre Dame in 2008, have all visited Jeffrey Field . This year, the Lions will host regional rival West Virginia and Richmond in non-conference action . An always strong Big Ten slate of six teams will visit Jeffrey including 2010 Women’s College Cup participant and Big Ten co-champion Ohio State on Sept . 29 . Also playing at Jeffrey will be Northwestern, Illinois, Nebraska (first time ever), Iowa and Purdue .

FACILITY HISTORY AND FUTURE Dedicated on Sept . 29, 1972, Penn State’s soccer stadium is named in honor of the late Bill Jeffrey, the Penn State men’s soccer coach from 1926-52 . Regarded as the finest grass surface in the country and named such officially in 2006, Jeffrey Field was refurbished first in 1978 . New bleachers with a capacity of 3,500 were added along with fencing and an adjacent practice field . New lights were added prior to the 1996 season . During the summer of 2004, Jeffrey Field again underwent a facelift . In addition to a new field surface, new bleachers, a press box and a video booth were also added . In the summer of 2008, new practice fields (pictured on page 5) were added where the baseball field once stood . Additional im-provements are in the long-term plans for the stadium, which include a team building with locker and training rooms and other great ameneties to Jeffrey Field .

Th e 13-title mark stands as the most consecutive in Big Ten championships by a women’s program along with the present Northwestern tennis team . After a tough 2-4 start to the 2009 season, Walsh led the Nittany Li-ons to a remarkable turnaround, going 10-1-2 in the last 13 games of the regular season, earning her the 2009 Big Ten Coach of the Year Award

for her eff orts . In March of 2010, Walsh’s alma mater, William & Mary, honored her by inducting her into the W&M Athletics Hall of Fame . With the impressive end to the season, Walsh and her charges captured the program’s 12th-straight Big Ten Championship, ty-ing a record for most con-secutive women’s Big Ten titles won held by the Michigan swimming & diving program . By win-ning the Big Ten, the Nit-tany Lions continued their string of NCAA Tourna-ment berths, making their 15th-straight appearance in the 64-team fi eld in 2009 . For the second time in three years, Penn State hosted the fi rst and second

rounds of tournament play . Walsh also orchestrated one of the fi nest awards seasons in Penn State history when Katie Schoepfer, Alyssa Naeher and Christine Nairn swept the year-end Big Ten Player of the Year awards . Schoepfer was named the Off ensive Player of the Year, Naeher the Defensive Player of the Year and Nairn the Freshman of the Year . Danielle Toney was named to the All-Big Ten First Team, while Lexi Marton garnered Sec-ond Team mention . Walsh has now coached two players of the year to three awards as Naeher was also the 2007 recipient of the Defensive Player of the Year honors in Walsh’s fi rst year in Happy Valley . Walsh continued her success from the 2007 campaign into a 16-8-0 record that saw Penn State capture its 11th-straight Big Ten Champi-onship and the 2008 Big Ten Tour-nament crown . Her transition to Penn State was quite smooth as the 2007 team fi nished 18-4-2, including a 9-1-0 mark in conference play, and was ranked 12th in the fi nal NSCAA poll of the season . When she came to Penn State, Walsh brought with her a wealth of experience at both the international and collegiate levels . She already has coached at six diff erent uni-versities, including three stints as head coach as well as serving as an assistant for the U .S . U-19 team in 2004 . Walsh served as head coach of the U-17 team from December 2004 until her hire at Penn State in February of 2007 . As of January 2009, Walsh was appointed as a member of the Panel of Instructors and Lecturers for FIFA Courses . In addition, she was ap-pointed as the Chairman of the Women’s Technical Committee for the period of January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011 . In January of 2008, Walsh was named as the assistant coach by Pia Sundhage for the U .S . National Team . With Walsh’s help and guidance the U .S . team completed its historic run with a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China . Even sweeter was that Walsh’s main responsibility was the U .S . Team’s defense, which held fellow world power Brazil scoreless in the gold medal game . Th e head coach at Harvard University as well as the U .S . Under-17 team prior to her hiring at Penn State, Walsh has consistently been ac-tive among the coaching ranks both at the Division I level and the U .S . Youth National Team program for nearly a decade . Prior to her time with the Crimson, she was part of a Florida State staff that led the Seminoles to one of its most successful year to date . FSU joined Penn State in the 2005 Women’s Soccer College Cup, with both programs reaching the national semifi nals .

Walsh’s coaching path began in 1997 as a graduate as-sistant with Bucknell University . In 1998, she accepted a position at Dartmouth, where she was an assistant coach for two seasons . After helping the team to a fi nal NSCAA ranking of No . 8 at the conclusion of the team’s 1998 NCAA quarterfi nal run as well as an Ivy League champion-ship in 1999, Walsh assumed head coaching duties before the 2000 season . As head coach, Walsh led the Big Green to back-to-back Ivy League co-championships in 2000 and 2001 . Her squad was ranked in the NSCAA’s top 25 each year, rising

SOCCER WITHOUT BORDERS

SOCCER WITHOUT BORDERS For the past four years, the Penn State soccer family has been involved in Soccer Without Borders (SWB), a non-profit ogini-zation to assist impovershed areas with girls soccer. SWB’s mission is to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of marginalized youth all over the world. Working with other community-based organizations in under-served areas, the Soccer

Without Borders program combines soccer instruction with life skills education and uses soccer as a tool for youth development. In the winter of 2008, Penn State players collected gear to donate to the inaugural SWB project for girls in Latin America; and in March of that year, assistant coach Ann Cook took the gear to Granada, Nicaragua and helped run the first soccer camp for girls in that area. In addition to this TEAM camp (Trabajando en Equipo Aprendemos Mas – working in teams we learn more), Cook also helped establish the first coaches’ clinic in Granada that March. Fifteen coaches from Granada participated in the clinic and many of them have gone on to help with girls’ soccer in the area. Since then, Cook and Penn State players have become more involved in the project and have not only donated gear but have donated significant amounts of their time. In March of 2009, four former Penn State players went with Cook to participate in the second annual TEAM camp and coaches’ clinic in Granada. Kaleen Adami, Zoe Bouchelle, Allie Daus and Sarah Dwyer spent their Spring Break in Nicaragua living with local families, soaking in the culture, and giving back to the sport that has given them so much. The camp and clinics continue to go incredibly well and the project now has a permanent, sustainable presence in Granada. The volunteers in March 2009 were there to see the opening of the first Soccer Without Borders community center just for girls. The project now has nine Nicaraguan employees, a life skills curriculum in place and a small-sided eight-team league for girls. Adami and Bouchelle served long-term internships with the Granada project and were in Nicaragua from September 2009 to May 2010 continuing to build these programs and relationships with the community. They documented their experiences and helped form the first internship program of Soccer Without Borders and the Penn State soccer community could not be prouder. “It’s been incredible to witness the growth of the project and the Nicaraguan girls and coaches involved over the last year or so,” Cook said. “We have made much progress but there is so much more ground to gain! It has also been unbelievably rewarding to watch my players get involved and mature as a direct result of the perspective they gain from these experiences.” In 2011, current student-athletes Maddy Evans, Jess Rosenbluth and Ali Schaefer went on the SWB Spring Infusion during the month of May. Much like their predacessors, they ventured to Granada for a 10-day camp. Coach Cook and Bouchelle were also in Nicaragua this past year.

2010 BIG TEN REVIEW

The most successful team in Big Ten women’s soccer history, the Penn State Nittany Lions captured their 13th consecutive conference regular season title in 2010 and have won five tournament crowns, includ-ing the last Big Ten Tournament, which was held in 2008. One of only two conference schools to appear in the prestigious NCAA College Cup, Penn State has finished third or better in the conference every year since the program’s inception and has participated in the Big Ten Tournament in every year from 1994-2008. The Nittany Lions have completed four perfect conference seasons, including 2005’s 10-0 record. Penn State also went without a loss in 1999 (9-0-1) and 2000 (10-0-0). The 13 consecutive titles won by the Nittany Li-ons is tied for the most in Big Ten women’s sports history. The Michigan swimming and diving teams of the 1990s had a dozen and the current Northwest-ern tennis team also has 13. Penn State goes for its 14th straight title this season and another automatic NCAA bid. Penn State is tied for the most NCAA appearances (16) by a Big Ten school with Wisconsin. As a mem-ber of the Big Ten, the Nittany Lions hold the record at 16, while Wisconsin is at 10 and Illinois has nine appearances. PSU has played the most NCAA games in Big Ten history (46), while winning the most (30) and boasting the best winning percentage (.663). Penn State swept the 2009 season-ending Big Ten Awards slate as head coach Erica Coach took home Coach of the Year honors, while seniors Katie Scho-epfer and Alyssa Naeher were named the league’s Of-fensive and Defensive Players of the Year, respectively. Newcomer Christine Nairn garnered Freshman of the Year accolades, while also being a unanimous selection on the All-Big Ten First Team. Danielle Toney joined Nairn, Schoepfer and Naeher on the All-Big Ten First Team and freshman Lexi Marton gathered All-Big Ten Second Team and All-Big Ten Freshman Team honors. Nairn earned first-team honors in 2010 as Tani Costa, Emma Thomson, and Toney were sec-ond-team mentions. Costa and Bri Hovington were added to the All-Freshman team. Two Penn State women’s soccer players, Christie Welsh and Tiffany Weimer, have received the Suzy Favor Award for being Big Ten Women’s Athlete of the Year. The duo remain the only women’s soccer play-ers to receive the honor. Additionally, Welsh was the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy recipient in 2001. Schoep-fer was Penn State’s ninth Hermann Trophy semifinal-ist in 2009 and the first since Ali Krieger in 2006. Schoepfer gathered her second NSCAA All-American honor with her third-team selection, while Naeher was also a third-team honoree, her third straight All-Amer-ican appearance. Nairn joined the All-America party with second-team recognition in 2010.

13 STRAIGHT BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIPS 1998-2010 NITTANY LION ATHLETICS • GoPSUsports.com 41

In the short time that the Nittany Lion women’s soccer program has been in existence it has proved to be a force within the NCAA soccer scene, but many of its products have also been key contribu-tors on the international scene with both the U.S. and Canadian National Teams. Twenty-two Nittany Lions have donned their Na-tional colors in hopes of bringing their country International suc-cess. This past summer was the most exciting year for Nittany Lions on national teams as three Penn Staters were featured in the 2011 Women’s World Cup in Germany. Ali Krieger (featured to the right) started and played every minute at right back for the United States, while Erin McLeod started two games in net for Canada and Carmelina Moscato made the squad as well. Head Coach Er-ica Walsh served as an assistant to Pia Sundhage on the U.S. staff. She was also an assistant on the U.S. team that won gold for the U.S. at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. McLeod was the starting goalkeeper for the Canadian National Team at those Games. Current Nittany Lions Christine Nairn, Maya Hayes and Bri Hovington have all worn the Stars and Stripes this past year with graduates Alyssa Naeher, Katie Schoepfer and Danielle Toney making various stops on the National Teams through out the years. Incoming freshman Kori Chapic has also featured on the U-20 team in the defense. Lexi Marton and incoming goalkeeper Erin McNulty has been a member of various Canadian National Teams. Nairn co-captained the 2010 U.S. U-20 National Team with UCLA standout Sydney Leroux during the CONCACAF Cham-pionship run in Guatemala. As the starting central midfielder, Narin tallied a pair of goals and a bevy of assists in helping the U.S. reclaim the region title. The United States reached the knockout stage in the 2010 competition led by Nairn. Also on that team as a reserve was Hayes, who tallied a goal and assist in the tournament Nairn made waves in July 2009 when she scored the game-winning tally against Canada in a 1-0 victory as a reserve. The goal, which came in the final minutes, was her last appearance with the full national squad before her college play began. Former standouts Joanna Lohman, Christie Welsh and Tif-fany Weimer were all brought into U.S. National team training camps for a shot at the Olympics in 2008 along with Krieger.

2011 WOMEN’S WORLD CUP GERMANY

The 2011 Women’s World Cup will go down as the most excit-ing, competitive and exhilirating tournament in its brief history. In the Penn State soccer world, it became the most relevant World Cup with the inclusion of 2007 graduate Ali Krieger and current head coach Erica Walsh participating in the team’s successes. Krieger landed a spot on the World Cup team and in the start-ing lineup after a three-year run for club team FFC Frankfurt in the Frauenbundesliga, which included a Women’s Champions League title. The Dumfries, Va. native’s exploits generated world-wide headlines when she converted the fifth and deciding penalty kick in a 5-3 shootout win over Brazil in the quarterfinals after a thrilling comeback. The comeback featured an ESPY-winning goal by Abby Wambach off a Megan Rapinoe cross. The play started 100 yards downfield by Krieger as she intercepted an errant Brazil pass in the 122nd minute and sent the play to Carli Lloyd and Rapinoe. By tournament’s end, the United States earned a runner-up finish after another exciting game, a penalty-kick loss to Japan in the final. Krieger started and played every moment in all six matches totalling 600 minutes of gametime in her debut World Cup. Names like Wambach, Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Hope Solo and Krieger have become household names in the American sports world, raising awareness to unprecedented levels.

NITTANY LIONS IN THE PROS

WOMEN’S PROFESSIONAL SOCCER (WPS)

Three Nittany Lions Play in World’s Top League After the sudden demise of the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), there were serious doubts about its revival in 2003. Nevertheless, business own-ers and soccer fans alike willed the league to begin anew, and so launched Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) in the spring of 2009. In the inaugural year, no less than seven Lions par-ticipated in the WPS in some form or another. Original draftees included Christie Welsh and Sheree Gray to the Saint Louis Athletica, while Tiff any Weimer was sent out west to play with FC Gold Pride in San Jose, Calif. Welsh was drafted by the Los Angeles Sol and had her rights traded to Saint Louis. A trio of PSU stars were key members of the Wash-ington Freedom. Erin McLeod, the WPS Player of the Week in June ‘09, was the starting goalkeeper for the club while Ali Krieger returned stateside to join the club on loan from FFC Frankfurt in early June, starting in defense. Joanna Lohman was a member of the Free-dom, but now plays for the Philadelphia Independence. Bonnie Young was drafted to the Chicago Red Stars. In 2010, Alyssa Naeher was drafted 13th overall to Boston, joining Weimer who signed with the Break-ers in the off season. Katie Schoepfer was selected by Sky Blue FC, the defending 2009 champions. For the 2011 season, Lohman returned to the Inde-pendence after leading the squad to a WPS Finals ap-pearance a year ago. Currently, Philadelphia leads WPS and is looking for its fi rst title. Naeher has played nearly every minute in net for the Breakers, while Schoepfer moved to join Naeher in the off season. Schoefper was instrumental to the Boston off ense during the World Cup, scoring twice and assisting on two other goals. Boston is looking for its second straight playoff appear-ance after a semifi nal showing in 2010. In all, six teams comprise the WPS landscape in-cluding some holdover teams from the WUSA (Bos-ton and Atlanta Beat). Sky Blue FC is a founding club with Boston and MagicJack SC (formerly Washington Freedom). Th e Freedom and Boston Breakers are two of those clubs, while the Atlanta Beat will joined the league in 2010. Th e Western New York Flash have been successful as an expansion team in 2011 and are in the title hunt. Next year, WPS hopes to expand and reignite mar-kets from previous years including the Southern Cali-fornia and Chicago areas. Two teams, Atlanta and Western New York, play in soccer-specifi c stadiums. Th e Beat play in the fi rst women’s specifi c stadium in Kennesaw, Ga., which will host the 2011 NCAA Women’s College Cup. Western New York plays its games in Sahlen’s Stadium in Roch-ester, N.Y.

WOMEN’S UNITED SOCCER ASSOCIATION (WUSA)

Nittany Lions Starred in the First Major U.S. Women’s Pro League In February of 2000, major U.S. media companies and individual investors joined forces with 20 of the nation’s leading female soccer stars to form the Wom-en’s United Soccer Association (WUSA), the premier women’s international professional soccer league. In April 2001, the WUSA kicked off its inaugural season with eight teams: Atlanta Beat, Bay Area Cy-berRays, Boston Breakers, New York Power, Carolina Courage, Philadelphia Charge, San Diego Spirit, and Washington Freedom. Th ree Penn Staters also par-ticipated in the League’s fi rst season as well as former Nittany Lion head coach Patrick Farmer, who left his post with the school to become the head coach of the New York Power. Former assistant coach Zac Shawwas an assistant coach for the Carolina Courage when the league started before he joined Farmer in New York prior to the start of the 2002 campaign. Current as-sistant coach Ann Cook was the 25th overall pick in the inaugural draft, she was part of the Bay Area Cyber-Rays’ championship run that year. Four-time regional All-American Rachel Hoff man was drafted in the supplemental draft by New York. Selected in the third round (12th pick), she served as a reserve player for the Power. In 2002, All-American goalkeeper Emily Oleksiuk and All-American Bonnie Young were drafted in 2002. Young was selected in the second round (14th over-all pick) by her one-time head coach, Farmer. Ending her collegiate career as the NCAA’s leader in goalkeeper minutes played, Oleksiuk was the fi rst pick in the third round and the 17th pick overall. In February 2003, Christie Welsh became the fi fth Lion in school history to be drafted in the WUSA when the New York Power selected the Long Island native with the second overall pick. Th e WUSA suspended operations in 2003 due to fi nancial issues, but league “Festivals” were held dur-ing the summer of 2004 and the league relaunched as Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS) in 2009 with a new marketing strategy.

PROGRAM HISTORY

On August 5, 1993, then-athletic director Jim Tarman of-fi cially announced that women’s soccer would become Penn State’s 14th women’s varsity sport and 29th varsity athletic team overall. Not since 1977, when Penn State granted wom-en’s volleyball varsity status, had another sport been added to the Nittany Lions’ elite athletic program. In its short 17-year varsity history, the Nittany Lion wom-en’s soccer program has grown by leaps and bounds. Here’s a look at its history, so far...

1997PENN STATE PLAYS IN LONDON’S

HISTORIC WEMBLEY STADIUM Penn State women’s soccer etched its name into the Wembley Stadium record book during its 1997 Summer European Tour. On August 3, 1997, before a near-sellout crowd, Penn State played an exhibition match with the London Select Team prior to the annual FACom-munity Shield Match, which pitted the men’s reg-ular-season league champion (Manchester United) against the league cup winner (Chelsea FC). Th e Nittany Lions became the fi rst American women’s team to play in England’s Wembley Sta-dium. Carole Dutchka also became only the second American and fi rst-ever American woman to score a goal in Wembley when she tied the score 1-1 late in the fi rst half. Trailing 2-1 midway through the second half, Shari Pickett knocked in a goal to tie the score. But with 8:00 left to play, England scored the fi nal goal to post the 3-2 win in front of 40,000 fans. “Our entire team was excited about (the tour) and about the chance to play in one of the great his-torical stadiums worldwide,” said then-Penn State head coach Patrick Farmer. “We saw some diff er-ent styles of play, and we experienced soccer as more than just a sport. In Europe, the game is a phenom-ena, it’s a part of the culture. Th e trip was a great opportunity for our players.” At halftime of the FA Community Shield Match, the Nittany Lions challenged the London Select Team in a penalty kick shootout. Proceeds from the event went to the Charity Shield, England’s equiva-lent of the U.S. United Way. But Wembley wasn’t Penn State’s only stop. On August 5, the Nittany Lions captured a 4-2 win from Millwall Football Club, the top-ranked club team in the Premier Division, on live national televi-sion. Dutchka notched a goal to send the game into halftime knotted 1-1. After falling behind early in the second stanza, PSU reeled off three unanswered goals from Rachel Hoff man, Kelly Convey and Dutchka for the win. PSU also traveled to Belgium for a match with the Dutch Select Team and to Germany for the S.V. Hemmerdon Frauenfussball Tournament.

Christie Welsh, the most decorated player in Penn State women’s soccer history, swept collegiate soccer’s national player of the year awards as a junior in 2001, win-ning the Hermann Trophy and the National Soccer Coaches Association of Ameri-ca/Missouri Athletic Club Player of the Year. On December 4, 2001, Welsh became the fi rst-ever Big Ten Conference and Nit-tany Lion women’s soccer player to win the prestigious Hermann Trophy. Th e 14th female soccer player to be honored with the award, Robert R. Hermann himself presented the Trophy to Welsh in a ceremony at the Bryce Jordan Center. Welsh is the second Penn Stater to ever garner the award. Jim Stamatis won the award in 1979 playing under Hall of Fame coach Walter Bahr. Two days later, the Missouri Athletic Club an-nounced that Welsh was voted 2001 NSCAA Colle-giate Player of the Year on December 6. Th e only Nit-tany Lion to ever win the award, she became the fi rst soccer player in the Big Ten Conference to garner the honor. Th e Hermann Trophy is the oldest and most presti-gious award in collegiate soccer. Th e equivalent to col-lege football’s Heisman Trophy, the Hermann Trophy was fi rst awarded to male soccer players in 1967 and is presented every year to the most outstanding collegiate soccer player in the nation. Th e winners are determined through a nationwide balloting of soccer coaches and sportswriters. In 1988 the Trophy was expanded to in-clude both a male and female recipient. Th e offi cial NCAA Division I player of the year award of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, the Missouri Athletic Club Collegiate Player of the Year was decided in 2001 by a voting of all Di-

vision I soccer coaches. Presented to the top male and female soccer player in the nation, the recipients receive the traditional crystal ball trophy at the NSCAA All-America dinner in St. Louis, Mo. Th e M.A.C. Player of the Year was fi rst presented in 1986 to the top male col-legiate player. In 1991, the award was expanded to include a female winner. Past female winners of the Hermann Trophy and NSCAA/M.A.C. Player of the Year award include United States Women’s World Cup Champions Michelle Ak-ers, Kristine Lilly, Tisha Venturini, Shannon MacMillan and two-time winners Mia Hamm and Cindy Parlow.

Welsh won the M.A.C. Player of the Year award by a large margin, picking up 152 points. Florida’s Abby Wambach fi nished second in the voting with 119, followed by North Carolina’s Jena Kleugel (106), Santa Clara’s Aly Wagner (103) and UNC’s Danielle Borgman (90). In 2001, Welsh was the only player in the nation to rank among the top 10 in points per game (third, 2.62), goals per game (fourth, 0.96) and assists per game (eighth, 0.69). Th at season, she not only helped the Lions to their fourth-straight Big Ten regular season crown and third conference tourna-ment title in four years, she broke the Big Ten career records for points, goals, assists and game-winning goals. She also broke her own single-season Big Ten records for points (68) and tied the assists mark (18) en route to her third-straight conference Player of the Year honor. Welsh is the last player to receive both awards. Prior to the 2002 season, the Hermann Trophy and NSCAA/M.A.C. Player of the Year award were combined to form the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy and is voted on by members of the NSCAA.

Prior to that, Penn State’s No. 4 final ranking in 1999 and 2002, the first two seasons the Nittany Lions advanced to the NCAA College Cup, had been the program’s best. In 2005, Penn State also received its first-ever No. 1 ranking when it took over the top spot on October 11 and held it for three weeks before tying host Michigan at the Big Ten Tournament and falling to No. 3 entering the NCAA Tournament.

All three were finalists for the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy, awarded to the top collegiate soccer player in the country, with Welsh becoming the first Lion to bring home the honor in 2001. Six of the past 11 years, a Nittany Lion has either won the award or been named the runner-up, an amazing accomplish-ment for such a young program. All told, three Nittany Lions have been finalists for the award, while nearly half a dozen have been on the watchlist or among the semifinalists for the award, in-cluding semifinalists Erin McLeod in 2005, Ali Krieger in 2006 and Katie Schoepfer in 2009.
