UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - With Aurelia Meijer being from the Netherlands, the Penn State sophomore very rarely has her family in the stands.
Once each year, one of Meijer's parents flies nine hours to the United States to watch their daughter compete. A few weeks ago, Meijer's mom was preparing to make her trek to New Jersey to watch Penn State take on Rutgers.
"My mom was mad because when my dad came last year I had a hat trick and she told me I had to do it for her too," Meijer said.
