Penn St tops Rutgers to reach NCAA women’s soccer title game

He kicked out for 3s, he drove it. He’s just playing at a real high level right now.

Taylor started toward his third career double-double nearly immediately. Dickerson and Donovon Jack (eight rebounds) helped a Nittany Lions squad that had struggled on the boards gain a 40-27 advantage over Boston College.TIP-INS1.

After settling for midrange jumpers and layups early, Taylor found his 3-point shot midway through the first.

As Rutgers saw its season come to an end Friday night, having set a new precedent for its women’s soccer program, the team hopes that this is the first of many deep tournament runs.

The Nittany Lions blocked two shots in the 44th minute. “They were able to stretch the lead out….” “I give them credit for coming in with a game plan to get him in a position to be successful”. “He had an unbelievable game”.

“Every time I turn around, it feels like there’s another player scoring for us”, Penn state coach Erica Walsh said.

Penn State is 5-0-0 in rematches this season. “You put him in the middle of the zone, you know he can read the defense pretty good, like a point guard, kinda”.

James Thompson led Eastern Michigan with 18 points. Willie Mangum added 15 for the Eagles (5-3), who had a three-game winning streak snapped. Shep Garner started spreading the ball well and the shots started falling.

The defeat brings to a close the most successful season in Rutgers program history.

Penn State’s forwards went to work on the other end.

The 6-foot-6, 225-pound forward sat inside the Eastern Michigan zone and picked them apart both inside and out, making four 3-pointers, while capitalizing on all five free throw attempts.

For the second time in as many meetings with the No. 6-ranked Nittany Lions, the No. 9-ranked Scarlet Knights didn’t play their best soccer.

Penn State bowl tickets that are requested will be allocated by, in order: 1) Nittany Lion Club points; 2) Penn State Alumni Association membership; 3) Public. The Eagles made 43 percent of their field goals on 23-of-54 shooting.

But neither team appeared eager to play the role of aggressor early on.

“I am just very thankful to be a part of this team”, Murphy said. “They’re tough to play against, they shoot the puck from everywhere, they crash the net hard, they defend in large numbers so they make it a small ice game to play in”.

But it ended the same as the previous games: with a victory. Reaves appeared to favor his right wrist after landing awkwardly but was sent to a stationary bike for most of the second half. Beyond the special teams, MSU will need to play a full 60 minutes to thwart Penn State. “I just didn’t want to jeopardize him getting hurt any further”. Penn State would go into the half up 34-24.
