It was a hectic two weeks for coach Erica Dambach’s squad, traveling to California last weekend and playing in back-to-back-to-back Friday-Sunday slates.
The team has played solid throughout, with its veteran leadership performing up to par for a 4-1-1 record.
However, it was the freshmen who showed up this weekend.
Kate Wiesner, Cori Dyke and Peyton Linnehan have been starting games for the Nittany Lions since the opener against Stanford. Kat Asman started against West Virginia and James Madison in Amanda Dennis’ absence and Jordan Canniff made her debut against the Mountaineers. Ally Schlegel has scored in each of her last four games.
