UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - He may have played soccer across the nation in California and Florida, but he found a home in Penn State's neon goalie jersey. From an eager recruit to a seasoned redshirt senior, Evan Finney reflects on his five years between the posts of Jeffrey Field with gratitude and motivation to move forward.
"I think that playing for Penn State is a huge, huge honor," Finney said. "Obviously one of the best athletic and academic schools in the nation."
When one imagines a soccer game, they picture freshly mowed grass, sunny skies, and a picturesque breeze, but Finney's initial recruiting trip during the height of a State College winter saw beyond the frigid weather that dawns mid-soccer season and recognized Penn State's historic legacy of excellence.
