Look Ahead Series: Penn State women’s soccer moves forward with blend of youth and experience

After making another deep postseason run in 2019 — falling to eventual champion Stanford in the Sweet 16 — Penn State will look to a few returning faces to maintain the pace it set last year.

The team’s calling card has always been its defense, allowing 1.08 goals per game the past season while steadily organizing its offense from the back. However, with four out of five starters graduating, it will be up to the younger players to step up.

Caitlin Haislip will be the only constant starter to return, and the junior played into form as the season went on.
