By UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Whenever Penn State was in trouble on an Ohio State attack, Cori Conley was there to keep things under control.
Conley was a major part of a dominant defensive effort by Penn State, despite heartbreaking the 2-1 defeat in the second overtime period to the Buckeyes. One thing head coach Charlene Morett-Curtiss noticed was the strength of her defense, including Conley."The backs just did a good job, especially Cori," said Morett-Curtiss.Conley seemed to serve as an excellent safety net on dangerous-looking attacks. She had many timely tackles, knocking balls loose and clearing the ball away from danger when the Buckeyes had possession in the attacking circle.
