2013 Women's Soccer Schedule!

The women look to defend their back-to-back AMCC titles in 2013 as they approach the upcoming season. The season starts off with a scrimmage against Division II Mercyhurst leading into the annual Herb Lauffer Memorial Tournament. This year's tournament pairs the women against two strong Ohio-sides in Baldwin Wallace and Capital University. The women will then travel less than an hour up I-90 to play Utica and SUNY Fredonia in the Fredonia State Tournament.

The women will also play the Western Pennsylvania schools with the likes of Westminster, Grove City, and W&J before they enter AMCC play. The Lady Lions start conference play as they face-off with Franciscan on September 28th.

Stay tuned for more updates to the Penn State Behrend Women's Soccer blog, and wish the women luck as they approach the fall season!

Team Banquet and Award Ceremony

Today was a nice day for our team to briefly reflect on the successes of the 2012 season. Although we are continually looking to better ourselves as a team on a daily basis it was nice to recognize the accomplishments of the team in the 2012 season. A group of around 60 including our coaching staff, players, and players' families enjoyed some great food at Logan House on the campus of Penn State Behrend.
Some nice words were said by senior captain Valerie Wagner at the banquet.

Then it was down to the Junker Center to watch the Behrend Lions women's basketball team compete against Franciscan. To make the day even better the women's basketball team got another nice AMCC win!!
At half-time the players were recognized by the crowd for their AMCC Championship winning 2012 season.
The picture below is of the team with their plaques!!
