The pitch, which is used exclusively for field hockey, features new turf and a state-of-the-art watering system. The Lions opened the new field in style in 2005, going 10-0 en route to a program record 17 straight wins. Penn State is 34-11 in five years at its new field. Two sets of seating areas on one side of the field have room to seat up to 750 spectators, 250 more than Bigler. The field also has permanent lights that allow for night games to be played. The watering system allows the field to be watered both prior to practices and games as well as at halftime of games in order to maintain optimal field conditions on one of the finest playing surfaces in the country. The Penn State Field Hockey Complex, which is located adjacent to Bigler Field, replaced Bigler as the home of field hockey and became the team's fifth different home since the program's inception in 1964. Bigler was home to Penn State field hockey for nine seasons from 19962004. The field has become just one of the latest new additions to Penn State's ever-growing "athletic campus" on the Northeast end of campus. The field has proven to be quite friendly for the home standing Nittany Lions. In addition to the impressive 34-11 record over its first five years on the field, it has also proved to be a fan-friendly experience. Penn State finished third in the country in home attendance in 2009 and the interest is reaching an all-time high. A facility record 794 fans came out for the Sept. 1, 2008 game vs. Maryland. GoPSUsports.com � PENN STATE 2011 5 HEAD COACH CHARLENE MORETT Head Coach Charlene CHARLENE MORETT YEAR-BY-YEAR At Boston College (3 years, 34-16-8, .655) 1984 1985 1986 13-4-1 10-5-5 11-7-2 .750 .625 .600 MORETT 25th Season at Penn State 28th Season Overall Penn State, 1979 The longest tenured coach in the Big Ten and seventh longest tenured at a single school in Division I field hockey, Charlene Morett enters her 25th season as head coach of the Penn State field hockey program. Morett boasts a remarkable resume covering her time as leader of the Nittany Lions. Over the last four years, Morett has led the Nittany Lions to a Big Ten Championship (in 2008), one year following their second appearance in the National Championship Game. Morett currently ranks fourth all-time (in Division I history) in wins with 410 and is one of just four DI coaches to accumulate 400 career wins. She has led the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Tournament in 21 out of her 24 years as head coach and has helped maintain Penn State's distinction as the No. 2 ranked school in all-time NCAA Tournament appearances with 26. Following an up-and-down 2009 season, Penn State rebounded in fine fashion in 2010. Finishing with a 14-6 record, the Lions won seven more games than they did in 2009, which marked the second-largest improvement in the nation. Guiding the squad to a berth in the NCAA Tournament, Morett earned Mideast Region Coach of the Year honors and helped three of her players earn All-American honors. In 2008, Morett led the Nittany Lions to the Big Ten Regular Season Title, their first conference championship since 2005 and fifth overall. The squad was eventually awarded an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament where it fell to a tough Princeton squad, 2-0. Morett was also named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the fourth time. In 2007, Morett led Penn State through a memorable run to its seventh NCAA Semifinal appearance in program history and was named the NFHCA Mideast Region Coach of the Year. The milestones have been endless for Morett as four years ago, she became just the fourth coach in NCAA history to accumulate at least 350 career wins, and five years ago, she won her 300th game at Penn State. A seven-time Mideast Region Coach of the Year, Morett is an excellent teacher of field hockey. Her players earn national recognition on a yearly basis, 10 of whom have been named two-time First Team All-Americans with Jen Long being the most recent. Her teams dominate the national scene, consistently ranking among the Top 10 in the national polls. In fact, Penn State was ranked in the Top 10 of the STX/NFHCA poll for 32 consecutive weeks from the first poll of the 2005 season ending with the second poll of 2008. The 1999 squad achieved a No. 1 ranking in the STX/ NFHCA poll for the first time in program history. From 2005-08, Penn State finished eighth, sixth, ninth, and 11th respectively, in the final poll of the season.

Six players have been voted the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year -- Natalie Berrena, Coletta, Dawn Lammey, Larson, Tara Maguire, and Allison Scola. In 2008, Long was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year for a second consecutive season, becoming the league's eighth Defensive Player of the Year from Penn State, joining Anselmo, Gorlaski, Becca Main, Jill Martz and Jill Pearsall. Long and Anselmo are the only Lions to be named Defensive Player of the Year twice. 6 PENN STATE 2011 � FIELD HOCKEY HEAD COACH CHARLENE MORETT Since Penn State's entry into the Big Ten in 1992, Morett's program has produced more First Team All-Big Ten selections, more Big Ten Defensive Players of the Year, more Big Ten Athletes of the Year and more Big Ten Freshmen of the Year than any other. Penn State's eight Defensive Player of the Year honorees is four more than any other school. With Kelsey Amy, Brittany Grzywacz, Ayla Halus, and Jessica Longstreth earning All-Big Ten laurels last season, Penn State has now totaled 80 AllBig Ten selections since 1992, including 56 First Team All-Conference choices, the most of any Big Ten school since 1992. During Morett's tenure, Penn State has produced 35 First-Team All-America choices with at least one player earning the honor in 22 of the coach's 24 seasons. Overall, Penn State has had at least one First Team All-American in 24 of the last 26 years, including every year from 1975-2008. In 2007, for the first time since 2002, Penn State had two First Team All-Americans in Long and Kiersten Wood. A number of Morett's players - past and present - have played at an elite level with the United States program, with Larson earning a spot on the U.S. National Team for three consecutive seasons. Another former Nittany Lion, Eleanor Stone, has been on the national team for a total of seven different seasons. Seven former players have competed on the U.S. National Team, with several others playing on various other levels of national teams. Recent graduates Long and Scola were three-year members of the U.S. Under-21 National Team. Both Long and Wood trained with the U.S. National Team in Chula Vista, Calif. while Scola went on an exhibition tour of Argentina with the U-21 team. In the spring of 2007, Long and Scola represented the U.S. on the U-21 team's tour of China. Morett attended with them as the Chef de Mission for U.S. Field Hockey. Additionally, Long and Scola, along with All-America alum Larson helped the East team capture the U.S. Open Regional Championship in the summer of 2007. Laura Kassab and Jessica Longstreth were both members of the U.S. National Indoor Hockey Team as well. Scola is currently on the U.S. Development Squad after being named to the team in June of 2009. In addition, Long and current sophomore Kelsey Amy competed for team PA in USA Field Hockey's National Championship this past June. Incoming freshman goalkeeper Kylie Licata played on the Junior National High Performance Team as well. NCAA DIVISION I ALL-TIME WINNINGEST HEAD COACHES 1.

Since that time, the Nittany Lions own the most Big Ten regular season wins, the highest Big Ten regular season and tournament winning percentage, the second-most Big Ten Tournament wins and a tie for the most Big Ten Tournament titles. The squad has enjoyed plenty of recent success as well. In 2007, after defeating Virginia for the second time in the season with a win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Penn State stunned second-ranked Maryland on the Terps' home field to advance to the NCAA Semifinals. The Nittany Lions then came back to the same field five days later and knocked off third-ranked Wake Forest in the National Semifinals, the program's first-ever win over the Demon Deacons, to advance to the National Championship Game. The memorable run included three wins over ACC teams for the shot to play for the national title. Despite the season ending with a loss to top-ranked and undefeated North Carolina in the title game, four Nittany Lions were named NFHCA AllAmericans. One year earlier in 2006, Morett led the Nittany Lions to their first appearance in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game since 2003. She also won her 350th career game with a 1-0 win over Connecticut on September 3, 2006. In 2005, the Nittany Lions won 17 consecutive games to tie a program record en route to a Big Ten regular season crown, their first conference crown since 1998. Berrena, a senior, was named Big Ten Offensive Player of GoPSUsports.com � PENN STATE 2011 7 HEAD COACH CHARLENE MORETT the Year and three other Nittany Lions were honored as All-Big Ten. Morett also won her 300th game as Penn State head coach, a 5-0 decision over Temple on September 14. She was named Mideast Region Coach of the Year for the fifth time in her career and also was recognized as the Big Ten Coach of the Year for the third time. In 2002, Morett guided the Nittany Lions to a memorable NCAA Tournament run. Penn State opened with back-to-back wins over Kent State and Princeton in the opening two rounds played at Penn State before defeating No. 1 ranked Old Dominion, 3-2, to advance to the NCAA National Championship Game for the first time in program history. While Penn State dropped the title game, 2-0, to Wake Forest, the year went down as one of the greatest seasons in program history as four players were recognized with STX All-America honors and five earned All-Big Ten status. Morett led the 1993 squad to the university's first outright Big Ten Championship in any sport. The team won 15 straight games, a record at the time. The most notable upset was a 2-1 victory at Old Dominion which ended the Monarchs' 66-game win streak. Since then, Morett has led her Lions to four more regular season titles and an unprecedented four straight Big Ten Tournament crowns from 1995 through 1998. Morett's teams have not only excelled on the field but also in the classroom. Penn State has produced 166 Academic All-Big Ten selections since 1992 and is the only school in the Big Ten to have 10 or more Academic All-Big Ten selections for the last nine consecutive seasons. Additionally, a record 16 members of the team were named to the NFHCA National Academic Squad in 2008, a then-record 14 the year before, and in the two years previous to that, a total of 12 players were named to the squad in each season. During the 2008-09 school year, the Nittany Lions were also winners of the Penn State Highest GPA Academic Award given to the team with the highest overall GPA and the "Varsity S" Women's Team GPA honor. A 1979 graduate of Penn State, Morett was an outstanding field hockey player and the program's only three-time First Team All-American. Captain of the undefeated 1978 team, Morett was a phenomenal scorer, netting 50 goals in four years and was the first Lion to score five goals in a game. She held that record for 21 years. After leaving Penn State, Morett continued to play field hockey at the national level and in 1982, she was named the USFHA's Co-Athlete of the Year. A two-time Olympian, Morett played in more than 100 international matches. Morett remained in Happy Valley as a graduate assistant to train for the 1980 Olympics. Unable to participate in the 1980 Moscow Games due to the U.S. boycott, Morett remained loyal and enthusiastic to the U.S. team, traveling all over the world in international competition in preparation for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, where she won a bronze medal. Morett was also awarded a Congressional Gold Medal as part of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team when the U.S. Congress officially awarded the medals more than 27 years after the boycotted games. Also an All-America lacrosse player in Happy Valley, Morett was one of the nation's top scorers in the sport when Penn State won its second consecutive National Championship. She also played for the 1978 and 1979 United States Women's Lacrosse Association National Champion teams. Morett was a member of the U.S. Lacrosse team and earned Most Valuable Player at the 1979 USWLA National Championship, where the Nittany Lions defeated the University of Massachusetts. After completing her undergraduate degree in physical education, she worked for one year as a graduate assistant at PSU, helping the Lions become National Finalists in field hockey and National Champions in lacrosse. Beth Anders then tabbed Morett as her assistant in 1980 at Old Dominion, where she would stay for four years. During that time, Morett helped the Monarchs reach three straight National Title games and in the process, Anders served as a positive mentor for Morett's future success. In 1984, Morett was named head field hockey and lacrosse coach at Boston College. She immediately lifted the Eagle field hockey program into the Top 20 and won an Eastern College Athletic Conference title in her first year. When Penn State legend Gillian Rattray retired from coaching in 1987, Morett returned to her alma mater to take over for her mentor, inheriting a program with 17 straight winning seasons and five straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

Morett has enjoyed a winning record in 22 of her 24 years with the Nittany Lions and a non-losing record 23 times. Under Morett and Rattray before her, Penn State had amassed 30 straight years with at least 10 or more wins, the longest streak in Division I field hockey history. Morett's 2002 and 2007 teams reached the National Championship Game, her 1990, 1991 and 1993 teams reached the NCAA Semifinals, and her 1988, 1992 and 1994 squads missed joining the Elite Foursome after onegoal losses in overtime. Her coaching accomplishments include five Big Ten Championships (1993, 1997, 1998, 2005, and 2008), four Big Ten Tournament titles (1995-1998) and two Atlantic 10 Conference championships (1989-1990). Morett's success at PSU has led to numerous coaching honors. She was the Mideast Region Coach of the Year in 1990, 1991, 1993, 2000, 2005, 2007, and 2010. The Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in 1989, she was the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 1993, 1998, 2005, and 2008. Morett is a member of the USFHA Hall Of Fame as well as the NFHCA Hall of Fame and served as the USFHA Vice President of Coaching. She had the honor of presenting this award to her mentor, Rattray when she was inducted into the Hall in 2006. On the international level, she spent three years as an assistant coach with the United States National Team traveling to the Pan Am Games, Ireland and Argentina. She was also an assistant coach with the U.S. Under-21 squad that competed in Spain. Morett has coached U.S. squads that won medals at Olympic Festivals in Houston, Minneapolis and Los Angeles.

One of seven children (five brothers and one sister) of the late Eleanor and Chalmers Morett. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING... "One of Char's best assets is her heart. It represents how much she cares about her players. She develops more than a field hockey player; she develops people. Coaching against Char is not only challenging, but fun. It's a challenge because Char's teams are prepared; they bring emotion and a strong game plan. Char is a fierce competitor but it's all about the game and that makes it fun." Old Dominion Head Coach and the All-Time Winningest Coach in NCAA History Beth Anders "Playing field hockey at Penn State and having the guidance of Char better prepared me for life after hockey. She had a profound impact on me as a person. Through field hockey and the experiences around it, she taught me how to be accountable and how to find a balance between doing your job as a Penn State student-athlete well, while still being able to enjoy the other aspects of college life." Former Penn State All-American Jamie Smith "The best decision I have ever made was the decision to attend Penn State and become a part of the field hockey team. I can't thank Char enough for giving me that opportunity. Char always knew how to push me to be my best. She has the ability to push her athletes to compete against each other at practice in the most positive and healthy way. We competed so fiercly at practice that competing in games came easy. As a Division I college coach, I have learned that this is one of the most important but, most difficult things to do." Former All-American and current Sacred Heart Head Coach Christine Blais "Char gives unwavering support to her players that is motivated by a passion for the traditions of field hockey. As her athlete, I learned to win and to do so with unrelenting class and honor for the Blue and White. As a fellow coach now, Char has always been my biggest supporter and I cherish her opinion and guidance.

The shutout in Philadelphia came from team collaboration and ended in a celebration of the program's great achievements. Morett's 400th categorizes her among the elite, becoming only the fourth (ninth overall) Division I coach in NCAA history to obtain the landmark. Morett's coaching record sits at 400-161-17, including her three years as coach of the Boston College Eagles. "To me it is something I am very proud of, of course," said Morett. "I think that it speaks volumes of the players that I have had the opportunity to coach and the coaching staff that has always supported me. I feel very grateful to be able to share this moment with the Penn State Field Hockey family. The most important thing, more than it is my 400th win, is that it is a win for the 2010 field hockey team. Hopefully we will continue to play like this tomorrow and for the games coming up. I hope that these last few wins can create momentum for us and give us the opportunity to do great things as a team." 30 PENN STATE 2011 � FIELD HOCKEY STATISTICS & RESULTS 2010 Penn State Field Hockey Statistics Overall: 14-6-0 Conf: 4-2-0 Home: 9-3-0 Away: 4-2-0 Neut: 1-1-0 ## 7 1 6 10 8 12 11 5 17 13 4 21 18 16 19 15 Name GP-GS Amy, Kelsey 20-19 Longstreth, Jessica 20-20 Allison, Hannah 20-20 Purvis, Lauren 20-20 Zug, Daneen 20-20 Grzywacz, Brittany 20-20 Schaefer, Kristen 20-17 Purvis, Jenny 20-20 McCartin, Casey 19-1 Reddig, Whitney 17-0 Schlener, Alex 20-20 Kenney, Jacqueline 7-0 Alloway, Lauren 20-20 Fuhrman, Abby 14-3 Buttinger, Natalie 5-0 Abdo, Annabelle 3-0 Total............... 20 Opponents........... 20 Name GP-GS Halus, Ayla 20-20 Meves, Ali 3-0 TEAM Total............... 20 Opponents........... 20 G 19 10 7 5 5 4 0 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 54 28 Minutes 1330:11 81:32 0:00 1411:43 1411:43 A 3 15 1 2 0 2 7 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34 24 GA 25 3 0 28 54 Pts 41 35 15 12 10 10 7 5 3 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 142 80 Avg 1.32 2.58 0.00 1.39 2.68 Sh 81 42 57 29 31 35 1 7 8 9 1 1 1 1 0 0 304 228 Saves 119 2 4 125 121 Shot% .235 .238 .123 .172 .161 .114 .000 .286 .000 .111 1.000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .178 .123 Pct .826 .400 1.000 .817 .691 SOG 48 28 29 20 17 19 0 5 3 3 1 1 0 1 0 0 175 153 W 14 0 0 14 6 SOG% .593 .667 .509 .690 .548 .543 .000 .714 .375 .333 1.000 1.000 .000 1.000 .000 .000 .576 .671 L 6 0 0 6 14 GW 3 3 2 2 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 14 6 T 0 0 0 0 0 PS-ATT 0-0 6-6 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 6-6 0-0 Sho 6 0 0 6 3 DSV 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 4 7 ## 57 23 TM Team saves: 4 GOALS BY PERIOD Penn State Opponents SHOTS BY PERIOD Penn State Opponents SAVES BY PERIOD Penn State Opponents PENALTY CORNERS Penn State Opponents 1st 29 11 1st 154 114 1st 64 57 1st 88 58 2nd 25 15 2nd 146 108 2nd 59 62 2nd 80 51 OPP 6/258 OT 0 2 OT 4 6 OT 2 2 OT 3 1 Total 54 28 Total 304 228 Total 125 121 Total 171 110 ATTENDANCE SUMMARY PSU Total 5125 1547 Dates/Avg Per Date 12/427 Neutral Site #/Avg 2/92 GoPSUsports.com � PENN STATE 2011 31 BIG TEN STATISTICS / REVIEW 2010 Penn State Field Hockey Statistics Overall: 14-6-0 Conf: 4-2-0 Home: 9-3-0 Away: 4-2-0 Neut: 1-1-0 ## 7 1 6 8 11 10 12 13 17 5 21 18 16 4 Name GP-GS Amy, Kelsey 6-6 Longstreth, Jessica 6-6 Allison, Hannah 6-6 Zug, Daneen 6-6 Schaefer, Kristen 6-6 Purvis, Lauren 6-6 Grzywacz, Brittany 6-6 Reddig, Whitney 6-0 McCartin, Casey 5-0 Purvis, Jenny 6-6 Kenney, Jacqueline 2-0 Alloway, Lauren 6-6 Fuhrman, Abby 4-0 Schlener, Alex 6-6 Total............... 6 Opponents........... 6 Name GP-GS Halus, Ayla 6-6 Total............... 6 Opponents........... 6 G 7 1 3 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14 11 A 0 7 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 9 Pts 14 9 6 4 3 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 38 31 Avg 1.83 1.83 2.33 Sh 27 10 13 10 1 7 3 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 75 68 Saves 28 28 27 Shot% .259 .100 .231 .200 .000 .143 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .187 .162 Pct .718 .718 .659 SOG 17 5 7 5 0 5 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41 39 W 4 4 2 SOG% .630 .500 .538 .500 .000 .714 .667 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .547 .574 L 2 2 4 GW 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 2 T 0 0 0 PS-ATT 0-0 1-1 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 1-1 0-0 Sho 1 1 2 DSV 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ## 57 Minutes GA 420:00 11 420:00 11 420:00 14 FINAL STANDINGS Team Ohio State Michigan Penn State Michigan State Northwestern Indiana Iowa Big Ten Record Pct. 5-1 .833 5-1 .833 4-2 .667 3-3 .500 3-3 .500 1-5 .167 0-6 .000 Overall Record 18-5 15-7 14-6 15-6 11-9 9-9 3-14 Pct. .782 .682 .700 .714 .550 .500 .176 BIG TEN TOURNAMENT THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4 No. 4 Michigan State def.

No. 18 Penn State 4, No. 16 Old Dominion 0 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Behind a facility-record 13 saves from sophomore Ayla Halus and an efficient offensive attack, the No. 18 Penn State field hockey team topped No. 16 Old Dominion, 4-0 at the Penn State Field Hockey Complex on Friday. Head Coach Char Morett was facing her former mentor, Beth Anders, who is the NCAA All-Time winningest coach with 563 career victories. Morett stands fourth with 397. Sophomore Kelsey Amy led the scoring attack with a pair of goals to tie a career-high while sophomore Hannah Allison and senior Daneen Zug each added single tallies. Halus wasn't the only Lion player to break a facility record; junior Jessica Longstreth racked up a career-high three assists to tie for the most ever at the Penn State Field Hockey Complex. The Monarchs came out with a bang, recording 11 first-half shots with 10 on cage. It was Halus who kept the Nittany Lions in the game early with one huge save after another. Penn State took advantage when Allison found the back of the cage at 8:22 for a 1-0 lead. Her low shot off a penalty corner beat goalkeeper Marla Petriello cleanly for the early lead. Old Dominion continued the relentless attack after the goal with nine shots on cage in the span of 10:44, but Halus came up big every time. She made spectacular saves in succession on two separate occasions, not only stopping the initial shot, but finding a way to deny the rebound attempt. The Nittany Lions doubled their lead, making it 2-0 at 26:14 off another penalty corner. This time it was Amy, who rocketed a direct shot to the far side of the cage. Penn State bounced back in the second half to control play, outshooting the Monarchs 9-4 while scoring two more insurance tallies. The first came from Zug, who cleaned up Allison's initial shot for a rebound goal at 63:31. The Nittany Lions were awarded a corner attempt when time expired in regulation, so they played it out and Amy capitalized with her second goal of the game for the 4-0 final. Game 2 � August 29 University Park, Pa. No. 3 Virginia 3, No. 18 Penn State 0 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Sophomore Ayla Halus had her second-straight double-digit save performance, but it wasn't enough as No. 3 Virginia downed the Penn State field hockey team, 3-0 in front of 626 fans on a bright and sunny Sunday afternoon. The strong turnout marked the fifth largest crowd in the history of the Penn State Field Hockey Complex. With the loss, the Nittany Lions drop to 1-1 while Virginia improves to 2-0. Penn State played neck-and-neck with Virginia in the opening minutes, putting two shots on goal in the first 11:03, but goalkeeper Kim Kastuk came up with the save each time. The Cavaliers took advantage, striking first at 12:20 when Michelle Vittese's flick shot off a penalty corner beat Halus to make it 1-0. A penalty corner led to the Cavs' second goal when Elly Buckley's direct shot made it 2-0 at 22:04. Penn State bounced back with a strong second half, finishing even in shots while being awarded seven penalty corners to Virginia's two. But, like they had all game, the Cavaliers took advantage of their opportunities to make it 3-0. Just 1:39 into the second half, Paige Selenski came in all alone on the right side for the score. The Nittany Lions controlled possession over the subsequent minutes, forcing Kastuk to make three second half saves. At 50:27, sophomore Kelsey Amy's shot off a penalty corner appeared ticketed for the back of the cage, but Cavaliers' back Chloe Pendlebury made the crucial defensive save to preserve the shutout. Halus, who finished with 10 saves, made a number of spectacular stops like she had against No. 16 Old Dominion on Friday. At 51:56, Selenski came in all alone once again, but was denied by Halus, who came out aggressively to keep the score at 3-0. Final shots were 19-10 in favor of Virginia while corners were even at eight apiece. The Cavaliers made six saves, led by Kastuk's five along with the defensive stop.

No. 5 Connecticut 2, No. 18 Penn State 1 STORRS, Conn. - Despite playing neck-and-neck with No. 5 Connecticut, the No. 18 Penn State field hockey team fell just short in dropping a 2-1 final on Friday afternoon. Junior Jessica Longstreth evened the score in the second half, but Cara Silverman's goal just 16 seconds later proved to be the difference. Redshirt sophomore Ayla Halus was the story early on, making 10 firsthalf saves to keep the game scoreless at the half. The defense in front of her impressed as well, highlighted by standout performances from senior back Daneen Zug and redshirt sophomores Alex Schlener and Kristen Schaefer. After Halus stopped UConn's first 12 shots on goal, the Huskies broke the deadlock at 47:34 when Silverman deflected a serve into the back of the cage. Penn State continued its relentless attack, leading to the game-tying goal off a penalty corner less than three minutes later at 50:11. Longstreth executed a perfect drag flick over goalkeeper Sarah Mansfield's head to even the score. Schaefer and junior Casey McCartin were credited with the assists on the play. It marked McCartin's first-career helper. Ironically, her first-career goal came a year ago against the No. 5 Huskies which also ended in a 2-1 final. The momentum was short-lived, however, as Connecticut responded with a goal just 16 seconds later to make it 2-1. Silverman scored her second of the day when she dribbled into the circle, beating Halus just inside the post. The Huskies held the shot advantage, 18-7, but Penn State didn't lack scoring chances. Zug had a potential goal waved off while Mansfield made four saves to keep the Nittany Lions at bay. Penn State did finish with five corners to only three for the Huskies. Halus recorded 12 saves, her third straight double-digit save performance to start the season. She owns an impressive .875 save percentage over the first three games, all coming against ranked foes. Game 4 � September 12 University Park, Pa. No. 15 Penn State 3, Lock Haven 1 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Behind dominant ball control, the Nittany Lion field hockey team (2-2) ousted intra-state rival Lock Haven (0-4) by a score of 3-1 on Sunday afternoon at the Penn State Field Hockey complex. The Nittany Lions scattered 33 shots on the final box score in the two-goal victory, with freshmen Brittany Grzywacz and Lauren Purvis netting their first career tallies to lead the offensive charge. Junior Jessica Longstreth also netted a goal on a penalty stroke. Grzywacz was the offensive player of the afternoon. In addition to her first career goal, the freshman assisted on Purvis' late tally, which set the final score at 3-1. Nittany Lion goalkeeper Ayla Halus made five saves in the victory. The Nittany Lions got off to a fast start on the offensive end of the field in the first half. Penn State earned 13 first-half penalty corners, including four in the first six minutes. With several early scoring chances, the Lions found the back of the cage during the 14th minute of action on Grzywacz's first career goal. Grzywacz deposited the ball into the back left corner of the cage on a rebound opportunity following a penalty corner. However, the Lady Eagles struck back on a transition opportunity following a Penn State penalty corner. Najia Hasan found Kristi Shepps in front of the cage, who scored on the play to knot the score at 1-1 in the 20th minute of action. Despite Penn State out-shooting the Eagles 18-5 and controlling the tempo in the opening half, the teams departed the field at halftime tied at 1-1. Nonetheless, the Nittany Lions executed two second-half goals, and nearly a third score on a questionable officiating sequence in front of the Lock Have goal. Longstreth kicked off the second half scoring with a penalty stroke during the 46th minute of action. With the Lions up 2-1, the freshman duo of Grzywacz and Purvis found one another on a crisp goal in the 55th minute of action to hand the Lions a two-goal lead. Grzywacz delivered a ball to Purvis in front of the net on a superb centering pass. The Purvis goal capped the scoring at 3-1. Penn State's ball control was the difference in Sunday afternoon's victory. The Nittany Lions had a number of good scoring opportunities throughout afternoon. The final score was closer than the final stat sheet indicates.

Amy's first-half goal sent the teams into halftime with the score sitting at 1-0. However, Penn State came out of the halftime break aggressive on the offensive end of the field. The Lions took full advantage of a pair of scoring opportunities in the first 15 minutes of the second half to put away Lafayette. With the Lions leading 1-0 early in the second half, junior Jessica Longstreth (Richboro, Pa.) drilled home a goal in the 42nd minute on a rebound following a penalty corner shot from senior co-captain Daneen Zug (Manheim, Pa.). Zug's shot bounced off the Lafayette keeper right into the path of Longstreth, who buried a shot from the left side of the cage to put the Lions up 2-0. Longstreth and Amy were not quite done on the offensive end. The duo combined on a well-executed breakaway opportunity in the 50th minute of action. Longstreth handled the ball deep into Leopard territory before dropping the ball off to a streaking Amy along the right side. Amy added the insurance goal with a shot to the left corner of the cage to make it 3-0. Amy and Longstreth are now tied with a team-high four goals on the season. From there, the spotlight turned to the defensive end of the field. Halus, who tallied six saves in the victory, made three critical saves on successive shots during a penalty corner sequence late in the second half to preserve her second shutout of the 2010 season. Zug and fellow co-captain Lauren Alloway (Hummelstown, Pa.) turned in solid defensive performances to keep Lafayette off the scoreboard. The lone goal of the first half came from Amy. Freshman midfielder Brittany Grzywacz (Collegeville, Pa.) found Amy in front of cage with a crisp pass on the right side. Amy deposited the ball past the keeper in the left side of the net to hand Penn State a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute of action. Amy's goal was her third of the season, while Grzywacz's assist was her second in as many games. Lafayette Penn State 1 2 3 11:12 41:16 49:49 Game 6 � September 18 Philadelphia, Pa. No. 15 Penn State 4, Temple 0 PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - With a 4-0 dominating effort over Temple, Penn State field hockey head coach Charlene Morett claimed her 400th win, marking one of the biggest milestones attainable in the coaching world. The shutout in Philadelphia came from team collaboration and ended in a celebration of the program's great achievements. Morett's 400th categorizes her among the elite, becoming only the fourth (ninth overall) Division I coach in NCAA history to obtain the landmark. Morett's coaching record sits at 400-161-17, including her three years as coach of the Boston College Eagles. Penn State came out on fire in the first minutes of the game, marking two goals in the first 11 minutes of play. The Nittany Lion's premier goal came off a self-rebounded shot from the stick of Whitney Reddig. Reddig's conversion was her first of her collegiate career. The goal fired up the Penn State offense as they continued to dominate throughout the initial 35-minutes of play. To solidify that the Lions were here to play, Lauren Purvis netted her second goal of the season with 24 minutes remaining in the period. The freshman captured the goal off of a quick-pass from junior midfielder Jessica Longstreth. The Lions entered the locker room up by two and re-appeared on the field hungry for more. Spreading the wealth with all four goals coming off sticks of different Lions, Penn State finished the game 4-0, their fourth shutout of the season. Tested throughout the game, Penn State's defense, backed by redshirt sophomore Ayla Halus denied Temple on all opportunities. Halus recorded three saves, 49 on the season. Penn State's Student-Athlete of the Week, Brittany Grzywacz, tallied her second goal of the season with 5:23 remaining in the game. Grzywacz's goal came off of Longstreth's corner assisted by Kristen Schaefer.

Amy played a direct role in manufacturing each of the three goals, all of which coming in the first half, in the two-goal road decision over the Golden Rams on a sun-splashed day in West Chester. Amy notched a goal and two assists. The Nittany Lion offense wasted little time putting pressure on West Chester in Sunday's intra-state battle. Penn State earned four penalty corners in the first three minutes of the game before freshman midfielder Brittany Grzywacz found the back of the goal first at the 4:19 mark with her second goal in as many games on an assist from Amy following a penalty corner. Just shy of six minutes later, Amy found the back of the net on an unassisted goal as the first half clock read 10:09. Amy's score was her team-high sixth of the season. Leading 2-0 in the 11th minute, the Nittany Lion offense was not quite done in an aggressive start to the first half. In the 14th minute of action, freshman Lauren Purvis tallied a goal on another assist from Amy. Purvis' third goal of the season set the scoreboard at 3-0, just 13:48 into the contest. Penn State's early surge sent the Lions into the locker room in command of the ballgame. West Chester netted its only goal of the afternoon in the 46th minute of action with Halus resting on the bench. The redshirt sophomore has not allowed a goal in three straight games. It was another superb defensive performance from Lion back line. West Chester's second half tally set the score at 3-1, which capped the scoring on Sunday. Penn State dominated the final numbers, out-shooting West Chester by a 29-8 margin. The Lions also tallied 14 penalty corners to seven from the Golden Rams. Game 8 � September 24 University Park, Pa. No. 14 Penn State 1, Indiana 0 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The 14th-ranked Nittany Lion field hockey team (6-2, 1-0) dominated every offensive statistical category on the final stat sheet en route to a 1-0 victory over Indiana (4-3, 0-1) on Friday night in the 2010 Big Ten opener. In a contest with the final score that was much closer than the complexion of the game, the Nittany Lions used superb ball possession to tally their fifth consecutive victory. Penn State out-shot the Hoosiers by a 28-3 margin. The Lions earned 14 penalty corners to Indiana's two. Penn State had several scoring opportunities that could have extended the margin of victory in the second half. Nonetheless, freshman Lauren Purvis netted the game's decisive goal on a rebound play following a penalty corner in the 14th minute to send Penn State into Sunday's clash against Michigan. Penn State's ball possession dictated a physical first half of play. The Lions held the visiting Hoosiers without a shot for the first 20 minutes of action. Indiana did not cross the midfield line until well into the 10th minute of play. On the offensive end of the field, Penn State found the back of the net on a penalty corner sequence in the 14th minute of action. Redshirt sophomore Hannah Allison ripped a shot following an entry pass from Jessica Longstreth to set up the goal. Indiana goalkeeper Becky Pany saved Allison's shot. However, Purvis was waiting on the backside of the cage. Purvis tapped in the loose ball to hand the Nittany Lions a 1-0 lead with 14:03 on the clock. Overall, the Lions managed seven penalty corners in the first half to Indiana's two and the Lions out-shot the Hoosiers 15-2. Nonetheless, despite controlling the ball possession and dominating the stat sheet, the score remained 1-0 heading into the halftime break. That theme continued in the second half. Penn State controlled the tempo throughout the final 35 minutes of play. The Lions had several scoring opportunities, including a pair of breakaways, but were unable to find the back of the net. But Purvis' lone goal was all the Lions would need.

Nonetheless, Michigan got on the board at the 21:48 mark of the first half when Alicia Mayer sent a shot from the middle into the back of the cage to make it 1-0. The tally was the first goal against Halus in more than eight periods of action. The Wolverines then struck again in the 58th minute when Katie Adams tapped in Michigan's second goal on a pass from Zara Saydjari inside the circle.

With the Hawkeyes on the board, PSU retaliated. Just three minutes after Iowa's goal, the Longstreth-Schaefer combination struck again. Following a corner, the two standouts fed Daneen Zug, who fired a blast into the back of the cage to give the squad a 4-1 edge. Feeling the need for a little more breathing room, Penn State got right back to work. Serving as the aggressors throughout the match, the Nittany Lions found themselves in the Iowa zone again in the 57th minute of action. Fittingly, Longstreth came through again as she fed Kelsey Amy, who launched her team-leading seventh goal of the season to give the team a nice cushion at 5-1. As the clock slowly ticked down, Iowa picked up the pace. With little time remaining for a comeback bid, the Hawkeyes got right to work. After the visitors earned a penalty corner at the 60-minute mark, Sarah Drake found an opening for the goal.

Later in the period, the sophomore sensation took the ball down the right sidelines again, dribbled into the circle, and unleashed a successful one-timer that gave the visitors a 3-1 cushion with 15 minutes remaining in regulation.

Just two minutes into the game, Ohio State set the tone early. Aisling Coyle, who entered the contest ranked second in the league in points and goals, put her talents on display. After weaving through traffic, she found some space and flipped a shot into the right corner of the cage to stake the Buckeyes a quick 1-0 advantage. With the lead, Ohio State continued to attack. The hosts uncorked eight straight shots and earned four penalty corners following the early tally. Although PSU's Ayla Halus and her defensive unit thwarted each of those attempts, the Buckeyes broke through again in the 34th minute of action. Nearing halftime, Ohio State earned another penalty corner. On the play, Berta Queralt and Aisling McKeon teamed up on the entry feeds before Coyle took the pass and fired another shot towards the cage that snuck past Halus to give the squad a 2-0 lead entering the break. In the second half, the Nittany Lions came out aggressively. After being held without a shot in the first 35 minutes of action, Kelsey Amy fired one on goal less than two minutes into the second half. Unfortunately, Ally Tunitis was up to the challenge as she stopped the shot. Twelve minutes later, Penn State earned its first penalty corner of the contest, but the team's potent corner combination was quieted by the Buckeye defense. Then, after the Nittany Lions withstood another surge by Ohio State, the Buckeyes added some insurance. This time, Coyle assisted her teammates as she found Paula Pastor-Pitarque on the right side of the zone for the team's final goal at the 53:04 mark. Although Penn State tried to piece together a response, the team's late rally was all for naught. A pair of late shots by Amy were handled by the Buckeye defense as Ohio State finished off its third shutout of the year and extended its winning streak to five games.

After a back-and-forth affair during the early part of the contest, Penn State lit up the scoreboard first with just under 15 minutes remaining in the opening half. Lauren Purvis ripped an initial shot on goal, and after Sarah Zargarpour kicked the ball away, Hannah Allison swooped in and corralled the rebound. After gaining control of the ball, Allison unloaded a blast into the back of the cage that gave the Nittany Lions a 1-0 advantage. With an early lead, the Penn State defense locked down. During the first 35 minutes of action, the Lions held Bucknell without a shot. Although the Bison had some chances in the PSU zone, the defense withstood a pair of penalty corners to keep the game scoreless. As the defense continued to dominate, the offense picked up where it left off. Following halftime, Penn State quickly added another goal. The Nittany Lions followed the same script that worked in the first half as Longstreth corralled a ricochet and fired a rocket that gave the hosts a 2-0 lead with just over five minutes expired in the second half. After withstanding a surge by the Bison, Penn State mounted another attack. Kelsey Amy was at the center of the play as the sophomore took a pass and sped down the sidelines. After breaking free from the defense, she sent a pass across the zone where Jenny Purvis blasted home her first goal of the season. Just seven minutes later, Purvis continued her outstanding game. After finding some room in the Bucknell defense, she tossed a perfect pass to Longstreth, who quickly notched her second goal of the game which gave the hosts a commanding 4-0 lead. 0 2 OSU OSU OSU 0 1 0 3 Bucknell Penn State 1 2 3 4 5 20:05 40:16 51:05 58:26 67:47 0 1 PSU PSU PSU PSU BU 1 3 1 4 (unassisted) (unassisted) Amy Purvis, J.

No. 11 Penn State 2, No. 17 Duke 1 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The No. 11 ranked Penn State field hockey team played two players down for five minutes in the second half but overcame the adversity and held on for a thrilling 2-1 victory over No. 17 Duke at the PSU Field Hockey Complex on Saturday afternoon. Before the waning moments of the second half turned into an 11-on-9 battle, the two squads fought back-and-forth throughout the contest. The Nittany Lions struck first just eight minutes into the game after Jenny Purvis took control of an initial attempt by Kelsey Amy and launched a rocket into the cage to secure the 1-0 lead. Following halftime, Lauren Purvis nearly punched home a goal after breaking free from the Duke defense. On the play, she took control of a beautiful feed, found a little room to maneuver, and charged towards the cage. Unfortunately, Nelson was up to the challenge again as the goalkeeper came out to defend the break and made a great diving play to stifle the attack and keep the score at 1-0. Not deterred by the Duke defense, the Nittany Lions came back again. Following a yellow card on the Blue Devils, Penn State took advantage of the man-up situation. The squad immediately went hard towards the cage, and after an overaggressive Duke defense committed a foul, the Lions earned a penalty stroke. As the team has all season, Penn State turned to Longstreth for the free shot. With her third stroke of the year, the junior standout ripped a shot to the left that rattled into the back of the cage and gave the team a 2-0 advantage at the 43:31 mark. From there, the momentum slowly shifted towards the Blue Devils. Following the first yellow card on Penn State just 28 seconds after the goal, the visitors picked up the attack. Eventually, Duke found some room on the far side of the field. After an initial attack, Devon Gagliardi pushed the ball to Emmie Le Marchand who quickly found an opening and converted her team-leading eighth goal of the year with 16 minutes remaining in the game. Although Duke kept attacking and played with an advantage for nearly the remainder of the contest, Penn State refused to relinquish its lead. Holding a slim 2-1 edge, the Nittany Lions fought hard and held on for the thrilling victory. Duke Penn State 1 2 3 8:14 43:31 52:32 Game 16 � October 24 University Park, Pa. No. 11 Penn State 1, No. 5 Princeton 0 UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Behind an outstanding defensive effort led by Ayla Halus, the No. 11 ranked Penn State field hockey team defeated No. 5 Princeton, 1-0, on a second-half goal by Jessica Longstreth to capture a crucial non-conference battle at the PSU Field Hockey Complex on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Throughout the game, the Nittany Lion defense was simply outstanding. For the second time in as many days, the team played shorthanded for 15 minutes after a pair of infractions drew yellow cards in the first half. Despite the disadvantage, Penn State fought through the adversity and refused to break. Halus was rock solid in the cage again as she pieced together her fifth shutout of the season after posting four saves. She has allowed one goal or less in 10 contests this season, including each of the last three games. Early in the contest, Penn State came roaring out of the gate. The hosts earned four penalty corners and unloaded four shots in the first 25 minutes of action, but Princeton held strong. Later, after Penn State went a mandown, the Tigers pieced together a response. With their first true offensive surge of the game, Princeton fired back-to-back shots on goal, but Halus stoned both attempts. As time slowly whittled down, Penn State picked up the pace. Lauren Purvis got a clean look at the cage, but Princeton's Amy Donovan swatted away the attempt. Later, Maida sent back a pair of rockets by Brittany Grzywacz and Daneen Zug. With the tempo at a torrid pace, the Lions recorded three consecutive corners with 15 minutes remaining. Finally, after the third attempt, PSU earned a penalty stroke. With a perfect opportunity to break the scoreless tie and light up the scoreboard, Penn State turned to the always-reliable Jessica Longstreth. Staring at her fourth stroke of the season, and second in as many days, she launched a blistering shot into the bottom left corner of the cage to open the scoring at the 56:48 mark. With time becoming a factor, the Tigers were saddled with a yellow card and played shorthanded until the final few ticks. After Penn State handled the man-up situation, Princeton pieced together one last-ditch effort when the squad returned to full strength. As the clock expired, the visitors earned a penalty corner. Refusing to relax after 70 outstanding minutes of defense, Penn State stood up one final time and blocked the Tigers' shot to secure the thrilling 1-0 victory.

No. 9 Penn State 4, Northwestern 2 EVANSTON, Ill. - Guided by the efforts of Kelsey Amy and Jessica Longstreth, the Penn State field hockey team relied on its lethal penalty corner combination to wrap up its regular season with a 4-2 victory over Northwestern at the Lakeside Field on Friday afternoon. At the 22:41 mark of the first half, PSU earned its second corner of the contest. On the play, Longstreth fed a crisp pass to Amy. After settling into her spot on the left wing, the sophomore standout launched a rocket into the back of the cage to give the squad a 1-0 lead. Less than five minutes later, Penn State continued its surge. Once again, Longstreth passed the ball directly to Amy, who uncorked a clean shot past Northwestern's Amanda Wirth for her second goal of the half. Keeping the pressure on, Amy quickly fired another shot on goal before the team earned one more corner. On the play, Longstreth fired a direct feed to Amy, who completed the hat-trick with another blast from the left side at the 30:43 mark. Reeling from Penn State's quick-strike offense, Northwestern slowly regrouped. With time running down in the first half, the Wildcats earned their fourth corner of the game. After seeing the Nittany Lions clamp down on their first three attempts, they broke through with 48 seconds remaining before halftime. Carrying some momentum from their play at the end of the first half, Northwestern struck again early in the second. Just three minutes into the new period, Regan Mooney corralled a loose ball in front of the cage and tipped it to Kaylee Pohlmeyer. With a little room, she squeezed a shot past Ayla Halus to whittle the Wildcats' deficit down to one at 3-2. Sensing newfound life in their opponent, the Nittany Lions tried to respond. The squad earned a pair of penalty corners and Amy launched two shots in a five-minute span, but the reinvigorated Wildcat defense held strong. Looking for one last insurance goal, the Nittany Lions turned to their triedand-true method of scoring. With seven minutes remaining in regulation, Penn State earned another corner. Fittingly, the Longstreth-Amy combination worked perfectly again as the two connected for their fourth goal of the game to seal the victory. Game 18 � November 4 Evanston, Ill. No. 8 Penn State 4, Indiana 0 EVANSTON, Ill. - Behind a dominating performance on both sides of the ball, the No. 8 ranked Penn State field hockey team cruised to a 4-0 victory over Indiana in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament at Northwestern's Lakeside Field on a chilly Thursday afternoon. Early in the game, Penn State was in control of the tempo. The Lions kept the ball in the Indiana zone and slowly wore down the Hoosier defense with crisp passing and a strong attack. Eventually, the effort paid off as Purvis tossed a shot on goal that Indiana's Becky Pany could not control as the ball found an opening and spun through the goalie to give the team an early 1-0 advantage. Already holding a lead less than six minutes into the game, Penn State continued to press. After stifling Indiana's first shot of the game, PSU earned six straight penalty corners. Although their unit was held in-check by the Hoosier defense, the Lions remained unfazed. In the waning moments of the first half, Amy made a spectacular play to pad Penn State's lead. In a one-on-one situation, she shook her defender with a quick cut back to her right. After settling in, she ripped a clean shot from the wing that rattled home and gave Penn State a 2-0 lead heading into halftime. With momentum on their side, the Lions kept control in the early part of the second half. The teams traded corners, and after IU appeared to find a groove, PSU called a timeout to regroup. The break worked as PSU came out reinvigorated down the stretch. Following a shot off a penalty corner that the Hoosiers mishandled, Penn State earned a stroke. As they had all year, the Lions turned to Longstreth, who blasted a shot into the lower left corner of the cage to give the team a 3-0 lead with less than 15 minutes remaining in regulation. As Indiana slowly lost a grip on the game, the team pieced together one lastditch effort. The Hoosiers fired back-to-back shots on goal in the span of 10 seconds, but the Nittany Lions stoned both attempts. Halus batted away the first shot, and later, Lauren Alloway was there to clean up with her first defensive save of the season. Refusing to let Indiana back into the game, PSU iced the victory in the 63rd minute of action. The Lions earned another stroke following a second Indiana foul. Finding no need to alter what has worked throughout the year, Longstreth took the free shot and found another opening in the left corner to seal the 4-0 victory.

No. 11 Michigan 4, No. 8 Penn State 3 (OT) EVANSTON, Ill. - Playing with steadfast determination and a never-say-die attitude, the No. 8 ranked Penn State field hockey team gave No. 11 Michigan all that it could handle but eventually succumbed to the Wolverines by a slim 4-3 margin during an overtime grudge match in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament at Northwestern's Lakeside Field on a chilly Friday afternoon. With the game tied at two less than 10 minutes before the end of regulation, Penn State broke through with a crucial score. After holding off Michigan for five minutes while playing 11-on-10 following a yellow card, the Lions returned to full strength and quickly took advantage. In the 64th minute of action, PSU earned a penalty corner. Although the team's initial shot was blocked by the Wolverine defense, the ball ricocheted to Amy. From 10 yards out, she collected the rebound and uncorked one of her patented blasts that eased into the goal and broke the tie. After sustaining a blow, Michigan wasted no time responding. Just over three minutes after Amy broke the tie, the Wolverines knotted the game again. After Michelle Roberts settled in with the ball outside the Penn State zone, she launched a laser towards the cage. Without hesitating, Mack dove towards the ball and deflected it just enough to find an opening that evened the score with under three minutes left in regulation. The Penn State defense came out strong in the extra session. Although Michigan had a few early opportunities, Schlener blocked one attempt and Daneen Zug made a pair of great plays. After she cut off an initial attacker and cleared the zone, Zug came back with another crucial play on a bouncing ball. The last line of defense between the Wolverines and a breakaway opportunity, the senior back corralled a tough hop and broke up the play. Despite the stingy defense, Michigan kept coming. Eventually, Alicia Mayer found an opening and ripped a clean shot that Halus stopped with an incredible diving play. Unfortunately for the Lions, the ball bounced away and found its way back to Mack, who had settled in on the right side of the cage. Although Halus did her best to regain her footing and get back in position, Mack ripped a shot that clinched the 4-3 victory. Game 20 � November 13 University Park, Pa. No. 4 Syracuse 2, No. 10 Penn State 1 (OT) UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Sophomore goalie Ayla Halus was simply sensational in the cage with a career-high 18 saves, but the Penn State field hockey team could not quite complete its upset bid against No. 4 Syracuse as the Orange took down the Nittany Lions, 2-1, in an overtime thriller during the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the PSU Field Hockey Complex. Daneen Zug scored a crucial second-half goal for the Lions (14-6) that knotted the game at one and helped propel the contest into overtime. Unfortunately, despite Penn State's unrelenting effort on both sides of the ball, Syracuse's Lindsey Conrad came through in the extra session and tallied the game-winning goal with just over seven minutes remaining in overtime to vault Syracuse (16-4) into the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Although Syracuse was the aggressor throughout most of the contest and held a convincing 23-13 lead in shots, Halus refused to let the game slip away. Posting save-after-save, she was a dominating presence on the defensive end. Showing a full-range of skills while batting away blasts from every conceivable position, Halus tied the single-game record for saves at the PSU Field Hockey Complex. Early in the first period, the flow of the game was irrevocably changed. Just over seven minutes into regulation, there was a double-infraction on the far side of the field that resulted in a pair of red cards. From then on, the two teams were each down a player and competed 10-on-10 for the remainder of the contest. Following Halus' early defensive display, the Orange continued to press. The squad earned a corner at the 19:35 mark. After a nice entry feed by Liz McInerney, Amy Kee found a slight opening on the left side of the cage and lit up the scoreboard. Following the intermission, Penn State picked up the pace and put Syracuse on edge. Eventually, the pressure paid off as the Lions evened the score at one with 26:51 left in regulation. After earning a penalty corner, Hannah Allison took the initial shot and ripped a rocket towards the cage. Without hesitation, Zug came flying in and deflected the shot just enough to even the game and give the Lions new life. After the game went to an extra session knotted at one, Syracuse went back on the attack. The Orange uncorked a shot that was blocked before Halus made an outstanding save on a blast from the corner. Unfortunately, the ball squirted away to where Lindsey Conrad had settled. After gaining control, she spun and fired a shot to the left just out of Halus' reach to clinch the victory.

Miller was one of four Penn State student-athletes to dance in the event that raised over $7.8 million for pediatric cancer. "What THON means to me is making a difference in the life of a child," said Miller. I've been a finance captain for three years, and I've always wanted to dance. This year, I finally got the opportunity through SAAB (Student Athlete Advisory Board)." THON began at 6 p.m. on Friday and ran all the way until 4 p.m. Sunday. During that time, the dancers interacted with patients and their families, performed numerous line dances and much more. The weekend went far beyond an athletic event as the Penn State community united for one cause. "It really means the world to me to make a difference and put a smile on a kid's face this weekend," said Miller. THON CAMPS Numerous Nittany Lions spend time in summer clinics and camps.

In the game featuring Penn State and Virginia on August 26 in the first weekend of the season, Virginia scored a first half goal and led 1-0 at halftime before Penn State rallied with three unanswered second-half goals for a 3-1 victory. In another matchup with the Cavaliers in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the game was very similar to the first meeting as Penn State overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit with three second half goals. The Nittany Lions held on for a narrow 3-2 victory at the Maryland Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex. With the win, Penn State moved on to its second NCAA Championship Game appearance in The win moved the Nittany Lions into the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year and for the second straight year they moved on to face the host Terrapins in the second round. Penn State's top three goal scorers led the way. Britney Long scored her team-leading 13th goal to tie the score early in the second half. Mallory Weisen scored her 10th goal to give the Nittany Lions the 2-1 lead while Shaun Banta netted her seventh to give the Nittany Lions what would prove to be a much-needed insurance goal. The Nittany Lions scored an insurance goal at the 59:28 mark as Banta did some nifty dribbling to free herself for a shot, which she finished unassisted to make it 2-0. In the 15th minute, Penn State was awarded the first penalty corner of the game. Weisen's shot went off the foot of a Wake Forest defender and deflected into the cage to give the Nittany Lions a 1-0 lead at the 14:03 mark. Jen Long and Allison Scola were credited with assists on the play. program history. NCAA Semifinals � November 16 Penn State 2, Wake Forest 0 COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Mallory Weisen scored a first half goal in the 14th minute and Shaun Banta added a late goal with just over 10 minutes to play in the second half and the Penn State defense once again stifled one of the country's top ranked teams as the Nittany Lions knocked off No. 2 Wake Forest 2-0 in the National Semifinals, five days after knocking off third-ranked Maryland on the same field.

The Nittany Lions ended up returning to College Park for its seventh NCAA Semifinal in school history and its 10th all-time trip to a semifinal, counting the AIAW as well. Penn State converted on an opportunity at the 21:54 mark to take a 1-0 lead. The Lions were awarded a free hit from just outside the circle on the right side of the cage. Shaun Banta took the hit and sent a hard ball into the circle, where Long was waiting on the weak-side post to tip in the pass for her 14th goal of the year and her second of the NCAA Tournament. The Terps kept the ball on Penn State's side of the field for the vast majority of the final 10 minutes of the second half, but what shots they were able to get off were either saved by Beaumont or went wide. Beaumont made nine saves in an outstanding effort in the cage. NCAA Championship � November 18 North Carolina 3, Penn State 0 COLLEGE PARK, Md. - For the third straight NCAA Tournament game, the Penn State defense did an excellent job of limiting its opponent's scoring chances by cutting off passes and blocking shots against one of the seeded teams in the NCAA Tournament. In the first two games, the Nittany Lions were able to shut out their seeded opponent despite being outshot. In this game, however, despite another valiant effort, North Carolina took advantage of three of its scoring opportunities which proved to be the difference. The Tar Heels got on the board just 3:10 into the contest as some sharp passing led to an open shot and the goal. From just inside the top of the circle, the ball was passed by Jesse Gey to the left and Katelyn Falgowski one-timed a hard shot into the cage. A UNC shot that was redirected off the foot of a defender early in the second half made it 2-0. Penn State's best scoring chance came with just over 20 minutes remaining in the second half on a fast break.

PENN STATE 2011 73 U.S. NATIONAL TEAMS & OLYMPIC ATHLETES Three former Nittany Lions have competed in the Olympics. In 1980, Chris Larson (below right) and current Penn State Head Coach Charlene Morett (left) qualified for the Olympic Team that was set to compete in Moscow. The U.S. did not compete in those games due to the boycott, but Morett and Larson made the team again four years later in Los Angeles and won the bronze medal. That year, Brenda Stauffer (center) also competed for the United States, giving that squad three former Penn State players on its experience. Says Morett of her experience, "Penn State prepared me to play at the highest level. My goal is to prepare my current players for similar challenges." In addition to the three Olympians, Penn State also has a rich history of providing players for the main U.S. National Team as well as other national teams. Recently graduated All-Americans Jen Long and Allison Scola were the latest members as both were part of the U.S. Under-21 National Team. Last July, Scola was also named to the U.S. Development Squad U.S. UNDER-21 TEAM 1980 1981 1982 1989 1990 1992 Jeannie Fissinger Brenda Stauffer Brenda Stauffer Kristen Winters Kristen Winters Kirstie Benedict Tara Maguire Jill Pearsall Maegan Galie Jill Martz Kiley Kulina Jen Long Allison Scola Jen Long Allison Scola Allison Scola NITTANY LIONS ON U.S. NATIONAL TEAM 1978 Barb Doran Candy Finn Jeannie Fissinger Chris Larson Charlene Morett Jan Snyder Candy Finn Jeannie Fissinger Chris Larson Charlene Morett Jan Snyder Chris Larson Charlene Morett Jeannie Fissinger Chris Larson Charlene Morett Chris Larson PENN STATE 2011 � FIELD HOCKEY 1983 Charlene Morett Chris Larson Charlene Morett Brenda Stauffer Chris Larson Charlene Morett Brenda Stauffer Michele Brennan Jen Stewart Eleanor Stone Eleanor Stone Eleanor Stone Becca Main Eleanor Stone Tara Maguire Eleanor Stone Tracey Larson Eleanor Stone Maegan Galie Tracey Larson Eleanor Stone Tracey Larson 2000 2001 2005 2006 2007 1984 1991 1979 1992 1993 1994 1995 1999 2000 U.S. UNDER-23 TEAM 1987 Diane Schleicher 1980 1981 U.S. SENIOR SQUAD 1999 2000 2008 2009 Traci Anselmo Traci Anselmo Jen Long Allison Scola Allison Scola 1982 74 2001 ALL-TIME LETTERWINNERS A Abdo, Annie Adams, Karen Aden-Buie, Aubrey Akstin, Megan Aldrich, Katie Alexander, Joanne Allison, Hannah Alloway, Lauren Amy, Kelsey Anderson, Karen Angelo, Arlene Annibale, Danielle Anselmo, Traci Atkinson, Heather Auchenbach, Cheryl 2010 1973 2008 2004-05 1968 1983-84 2009-10 2008-10 2009-10 1982-83 1972-75 1989-92 1997-00 1991-93 1976 Brennan, Michelle Bretherick, Karen Broahead, Charlotte Brooks, Linda Brown, Mimi Brown, Miriam Bryan, Kimberly Buck, Jenny Bullard, Victoria Burkholder, Carol Burnes, Lynn Burnett, Patti Buttinger, Natalie 1988-91 1974-75 1964 1966 1970-71 1969 1984 1988-89 1974 1966 1987 1971-72 2010 Dias, Deb Dickens, Sarah D'Iorio, Carla Disque, Sally Dobler, Susan Donald, Cindy Donovan, E.
