Penn State Women's Soccer Wins First National Title in Program History With a 1-0 Win Over Duke

Erica Walsh's Nittany Lions were dominant over the course of six matches.

20-0.

That was the aggregate score of Penn State women's soccer six NCAA Tournament matches. The Nittany Lion attack was as potent as its back line was strong, and when the tournament's final whistle blew, Erica Walsh's squad walked off the pitch in Cary, NC with a 1-0 win over Duke and the first national title in program history.

Six matches, no goals. Behind a midfield that possessed the ball with ease, a back line that would never, ever break, and a brilliant postseason by redshirt senior goalkeeper Britt Eckerstrom, scoring a goal on the Nittany Lions was an impossible task.
