Penn State took a massive hit to the defender position this offseason with starters Kate Wiesner and Ellie Wheeler being selected in the 2024 NWSL Draft.
Wiesner was taken seventh overall to the Washington Spirit, whereas her defensive counterpart, Wheeler, went 18th overall in the second round to the Kansas City Current.
The Nittany Lions now look to fill the holes left by these two, as the team moves closer to the start of the 2024 season.
Returners
Despite massive losses at the position for Penn State this offseason, Erica Dambach’s squad kept a massive piece for another year in Mieke Schiemann.
