Purdue Soccer Starts Year With Huge Win Over #15 USC
Last season Purdue women’s soccer had a banner year behind conference player of the year Sarah Griffith. The Boilers went 15-4-3, spent much of season in the top 25, and made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009. They even won a game against Loyola-Chicago in double overtime on home turf and took Notre Dame to the brink in the second round before losing on penalty kicks.
Griffith is gone, but it looks like the ladies are in for another solid year this year. Purdue received four votes in the preseason top 25 poll, good enough for 30th overall. They are likely to move into the top 25 in the second poll after last night’s dominant season opening win over #15 USC 3-0.
