Another thrilling week of women’s college soccer as teams embark on the final leg in the journey to the College Cup. With the Pac-12 title, UCLA is the first team to secure an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament and soon, another 30 qualifiers will join the Bruins. A tough weekend for the UNC Tar Heels who dropped out of the ACC tournament with a home loss to Pitt and fell out of this week’s Power 5. Penn State is back in the mix and Texas Tech holds on. With many teams well into their conference tournaments, Andy McDevitt gives his take on the Power 5 teams for Week 11 of women’s college soccer.
Here’s the breakdown:
5. Penn State | 13-1-4 (Prev. NR)
Welcome back, Nittany Lions. Penn State falls back into the Power 5 mix with a commanding 3-0 win over No. 24 Indiana, advancing to the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament. The victory extends the Blue and Whites’ all-time winning record over the Hoosiers to 30-1-3. Graduate keeper Katherine Asman recorded her eighth clean sheet of the season with a four-save shutout. Penn State will continue its pursuit of an auto bid in the conference semis against Iowa on Thursday, Nov. 2.
BEANY BALL STRIKES AGAIN.
