This week in sports history | Emily Oleksiuk makes Penn State soccer history in same week in back-to-back years

Penn State fans have been fortunate enough to see many talented athletes be molded by “Dear Old State” throughout its history, but one of the all-time best is women’s soccer keeper Emily Oleksiuk.

Oleksiuk set the standard for Penn State keepers that few will be able to reach, and this week marks the anniversary of back-to-back historic years for the Penn State standout

The three time All-American came to Penn State in 1998, and by 1999, she had already etched her name into the record books.

On Oct. 24, 1999, the sophomore keeper helped propel the Nittany Lions to a 3-2 victory at George Mason.
