What we learned from Penn State women's soccer on opening weekend

It was a busy weekend for coach Erica Dambach’s squad to open the campaign, but the two games against Stanford and Hofstra served as a very promising litmus test going into the season.

No. 6 Penn State women’s soccer took on No. 3 Stanford on Friday night in its home opener. Catarina Macario was the star of the show as her two goals lifted the Cardinal over the Nittany Lions, despite the debut goal of Kate Wiesner once equalized for Penn State.

A quick turnaround pitted the Nittany Lions against Hofstra on Sunday, and it was a one-sided affair.
