Three Nittany Lions Earn All-North Region Honors


UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State women’s soccer student-athletes Penelope Hocking, Ally Schlegel and Mieke Schiemann earned All-North Region honors from the United Soccer Coaches announced on Wednesday.

Senior+ Hocking and redshirt senior Schlegel were named to the first-team All-North region while sophomore Schiemann was added to the third-team All-North region.

With the Trojans, Hocking earned first-team All-Pacific Region three times and second-team designation her freshman year. Playing her final collegiate season with the Nittany Lions, the Anaheim, Calif. native was named to the first-team All-North Region after finishing second on the team with 25 points on seven goals and 11 assists.
