Analysis | 4 Penn State women’s hockey players with elevated expectations entering the 2022-23 season

After capturing its first CHA regular-season title in 2020-21, Penn State entered the 2021-22 campaign with heightened expectations.

The Nittany Lions started on the wrong foot as they went 0-3-1 in their first four contests, but they quickly bounced back.

The blue and white finished with an 18-10-5 record, but its season came to a close with a loss against Mercyhurst in the CHA semifinals.

The playoff loss marked the fifth straight season under coach Jeff Kampersal that his team lost in the semifinals.

Here are four players who will need to step up next year if Penn State wants to surpass that mark.
