Last season under coach Erica Dambach, Penn State went 17-7-1 overall and was crowned champion of the Big Ten Tournament with an overtime win against Michigan.
The Nittany Lions' season ended with a loss to Arizona in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament.
With the big run last year, Penn State has big expectations heading into the 2020 season.
Key departures
The team is losing six seniors from last year's squad. Amanda Dennis, Sarafina Valenti, Kaleigh Riehl, Ellie Jean and Laura Suero.
Dennis, from San Diego, played in 20 games last year, and posted 64 saves in goal.
