2021 PSU WSOC Thread (delayed 2020 season)
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Indiana pressed a good bit at the start of the match, but PSU settled down, and by virtue of a goal just before the end of the half, have a 2-0 lead at the break. The game is on BTN. Win this, and they advance to the B1G Tourney Semis on Thursday. I believe Rutgers defeated Ohio State, in their quarterfinal, and will face the winner of this match.
Indiana switched to a 3-4-3 to generate more O in the 2nd half (which forced a number of corners). But they couldn't convert, and the formation left them vulnerable to counters by PSU. After missing on a nice 3-on-2, PSU was able to score for their 3rd goal.
Indiana finally got on the board with a great shot from about 40 yards out, to make it 3-1 with @ 17 minutes left in the match.

Final, 3-1, PSU. It rained very hard in the last 15 minutes of the match.
Good luck, ladies, in the B1G Tourney semis on Thursday against Rutgers

I think PSU will play the lowest seed so that would be IOWA. Rutgers will have Wisconsin. I think all the Semi and Final are play @ PSU
My mistake -- you are correct. PSU will play Iowa on Thursday, at 7:30 pm. The semifinal match will be broadcast on BTN.
And Iowa played the last 29 minutes down a player due to a red card.
Lost to IOWA really hurt PSU, unseeded to the NCAA.
Play Alabama St then 16th seed Vanderbilt if advance
All games will be played in North Carolina

The Iowa loss was harmful. Win that game, and the B1G Tourney final, and they likely would have been a seeded team.
They'll play Alabama St. on 4/28. The winner of that match will face #16 seed Vanderbilt on 5/1. The winner of that match will face #1 seed FSU on 5/5.
Iowa (who won the B1G tourney) was not seeded. They'll face Campbell on 4/27, and the winner of that match will face #3 seed UCLA on 4/30.
Other B1G teams:
Rutgers faces Southeastern La. on 4/27, and the winner of that match faces #14 seed Clemson on 4/30.
tOSU faces Stony Brook on 4/29, and the winner of that match faces #11 Santa Clara on 5/2
Automatic qualifiers from weak and mid-major conferences. The same happens in every NCAA tournament in every sport.
PSU 4 - ASU 0 HT
PSU 5 - ASU 0 Last goal was a bonus as PSU did not score!

Of the recent prospects you mentioned/posted about, I've seen Lisa McIntyre and Olivia Marrone play. Both of them are on the smaller side for defenders, but both do a nice job.
Penn State women’s soccer bursting with confidence ahead of NCAA Tournament matchup with Vanderbilt
After Penn State’s dream start to the NCAA Tournament against Alabama State, the Nittany Lions’ eyes will turn to No. 14 Vanderbilt in their upcoming second-round matchup.www.collegian.psu.edu
Park, does Penn State go after a transfer goalie for fall 2021?
That's quite an achievement. Thanks for sharing. Seems that PSU WSOC has been a great program for a long time and hopefully ready to go next level into elite status.This is Vanderbilt's 4th. straight season to earn a NCAA soccer tournament berth. (The program's website mentions how they and Penn State are "2 of just 17 wsoc programs to make the NCAA tourney field for the past four seasons." They conveniently left out that Penn State WSOC has of course qualified for the NCAA tournament for 26 straight years in the programs 27 year existence. Slight oversight I suppose.
