Jeffrey Field welcomed Big Ten conference play as No. 12 Penn State dominated Michigan 6-0.
Devon Olive’s second-career goal, her first since the 2019-2020 season, put the Nittany Lions ahead in the 13th minute, and they never looked back.
While the Wolverines pressured offensively in the opening 10 minutes, Amanda Poorbaugh hardly came off her line, which was a credit to the defensive authority the Nittany Lions played with.
Ameila White’s speed helped Penn State break into Michigan’s half of the field, and that’s when the shots started firing. Kaitlyn MacBean, who leads the team in scoring, fired the first attempt but Wolverine keeper Stephanie Sparkowski redirected the effort.
