Penn State women's soccer gets instrumental contributions from veteran players on Senior Day

Penn State’s Senior Day was one to remember.

After taking down No. 4 Rutgers on Thursday, the squad looked to build off its statement victory Sunday against Illinois.

Surrounded by friends and family, seven Nittany Lions were honored prior to the game as it was Senior Day at Jeffrey Field. The players who were honored included Maddie Myers, Jordan Canniff, Penelope Hocking, Morgan Messner, Rachel Wasserman, Cassie Hiatt and Jillian Jennings.

While it’s not the final time they will play in Happy Valley, the seniors made an impact early and often Sunday.

The blue and white came away with a 5-0 victory, and the veterans stepped up in a big way as Hocking found the back of the net twice, and Jennings scored her first career goal.
