No. 17 Penn State field hockey gains learning experiences despite tough weekend

As Penn State has trekked through its season, its faced many ups and downs. From an 0-3 start to a six-game winning streak, the blue and white’s resilience has been tested.

Coach Erica Dambach’s squad lost last weekend to then-No. 10 Iowa and No. 2 Northwestern.

In both contests, the Nittany Lions’ offense struggled to generate anything offensively outside of Sophia Gladieux’s two goals on Sunday.

The lack of offensive production created trouble for Penn State’s defense, enduring constant pressure en route to allowing eight total goals this weekend.

Associate head coach Laura Gebhart remained positive at Tuesday’s media availability, looking to build from each of those losses.
