This week we are joined by Penn State sophomore Kalea McElligott, who is coming off an incredible freshman season where she won the Big 10 Freshman of the Year award, along with helping her team advance to the NCAA regional final for the first time in program history. Kalea joins us to talk about the story of how she got to Penn State and look back on her successful freshman season. Plus, later in the show we discuss LIU’s new head coach hire and give an update on the latest with Jordan Chiles’ Olympic bronze medal.
