Sixth Straight Shutout Propels Lions to Fifth College Cup

By Jack Dougherty, GoPSUsports.com Student Staff WriterUNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - It wasn't easy, but the No. 1-seeded Penn State women's soccer team

(20-3-2) defeated No. 2 seed West Virginia Saturday to advance to its fifth College Cup and second in the last four years.

In reality, Penn State and West Virginia entered as two of the most accomplished programs in the country and extremely evenly matched. With the help of an early goal and a rousing home crowd, Penn State bested a physical West Virginia squad.

"That is a really good team that we battled with tonight," said head coach Erica Walsh.
