Kylee Altland

Altland enters her second season at McDaniel in 2025.

In her first season on the Hill in 2024, she was a member of the Centennial Conference Coaching Staff of the Year as the Green Terror finished second in the conference standings en route to its 10th appearance in the conference tournament and ninth-straight since 2015. The team finished 12-5-3 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship while boasting an All-American, four all-region, and six all-conference selections.

Altland, who is also the advisor for McDaniel's chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, came to Westminster after serving as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at her alma mater, Penn State Harrisburg. A former standout for the Nittany Lions, she was a three-time all-conference selection after transferring from Division II Fairmont State. She finished her career with 47 points, including 17 goals and 13 assists while netting five game-winning goals.

Altland was named to the United East Volt Division First Team in 2023 after matching the single-season program record for assists with nine. She also added one goal, scoring in a 2-2 tie at Franklin & Marshall who was receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll. She was named to the United Soccer Coaches Region IV Third Team in 2022 after totaling 18 points with eight goals and two assists. She also earned United East First Team honors.

In 2021, Altland led the team with 18 points during her first season with the Nittany Lions, totaling eight goals and two assists. She was named to United East Second Team before scoring a pair of goals, including the game-winner in the United East title game to earn tournament MVP honors and lead Penn State Harrisburg to its first conference championship since 2009. The team became the first in program history to advance to the NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Championship.

Off the field, Altland was a three-time United East and a 2020 North Eastern Athletic Conference Scholar-Athlete. She earned Academic All-District honors from the College Sports Communicators as a senior and was named the Penn State Harrisburg Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2022. She was also a member of the school’s Student-Athlete Leadership Council and Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
