Both Portland Thorns draftees Amirah Ali and Sam Coffey were included in the 2021 Big Ten Women’s Soccer All-Tournament Team but neither Rutgers nor Penn State were able to win the tournament.
Coffey and the Nittany Lions exited the tournament in the first round at the hands of Michigan. Ten days before their Big Ten Tournament clash, Penn State traveled to Ann Arbor and lost 2-0 to the Wolverines in their penultimate match of the season. Michigan defeated the Nittany Lions by the same margin but with a different scoreline.
