Penn State women's soccer position preview | Talented forwards lead elite offense

Penn State’s forwards took advantage of the opportunity they were given in the 2019 season and established themselves as one of the more formidable offenses in the Big Ten.

The trio of Payton Linnehan, Kerry Abello and Ally Schlegel helped catalyze Penn State's offense a year ago.

Upon her arrival at Penn State, Abello was one of the top defenders in the nation, but her versatile skill set allowed for an easy transition to the forward position.

With the Nittany Lions, the senior Abello has shown the ability to play all over the field as she has registered minutes at not only defender and forward, but also as a midfielder during her collegiate career.
