Penn State’s Kaitlyn MacBean knew for as long as she can remember that she wanted to play in the Big Ten.
“When I came here and came on campus, I met the team and the coaches and just knew there was nowhere else I wanted to go,” MacBean said. “I had a visit scheduled, after that my dad actually forced me to go because I already knew I wanted to go to (Penn State).”
Growing up in Excelsior, Minnesota, MacBean suited up for the Minnesota Thunder Academy ECNL, where she experienced early success as a bronze medalist at the 2018 national championship.
