Fresh off being named a preseason All-American, senior midfielder Kristin O’Neill will lead Penn State’s midfield unit this upcoming season.
Joined by senior Kayla Abernathy and junior Lauren Saltz, the trio will likely start for the Nittany Lions in 2024, opening on Feb. 13 at Bucknell.
A handful of returners and three incoming freshmen will join them, as the team hopes to grow from their 11-7 record from last season.
The likely starters
Last season, the trio of O’Neill, Abernathy and Saltz made a combined 52 starts, as the latter two each came off the bench for a game.
