Beaver Stadium had over 109,000 fans on Saturday, and on Sunday, Jeffrey Field recorded its highest attendance for a women’s soccer game this season with 2,045 fans.
Fans received special “wear white” shirts upon entry as No. 9 Penn State took on No. 5 Michigan State in a game that was nationally televised on Big Ten Network.
The Spartans attacked within the first five minutes and the Nittany Lions were unable to answer, losing 1-0. Coach Erica Dambach said that a strong crowd promotes a tough environment regardless of the score.
“It makes the players feel like they're the most important thing,” Dambach said.
