Penn State’s womens soccer team enjoyed a perfect week and three of its players were honored by the Big Ten.
The Nittany Lions shut down No. 4 Rutgers 2-0 and followed up with a 5-0 blanking of Illinois.
Penelope Hocking was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week as she netted three goals between the two matches. It’s her first honor with the Lions, though she was named Pac-10 Player of the Week three times previously when she played for USC.
Senior Katherine Asman was named Goalkeeper of the Week by the conference after posting the pair of shutouts, while Mieke Schiemann earned Defensive Player of the Week from the Big Ten for her play.
