No. 16 West Chester hosts No. 4 Kutztown on Wednesday in a winner-take-the-title showdown for the PSAC East regular-season crown. The result will also shape their paths to a top-two seed in the NCAA Atlantic Region Tournament.

By the Numbers
  • West Chester: 13-1-1 overall.
  • Kutztown: 14-1-2 overall and 11-1-1 in league play.
  • Kickoff: Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 2 p.m. on Rockwell Field.
  • The teams have met 55 times; West Chester leads the series 33-17-5.
  • West Chester goalkeeper Grace Keen has a 0.30 goals-against average and seven solo shutouts.
Yes, But

A West Chester win would secure the outright title. A loss gives it to Kutztown; a draw would leave the teams tied, with Kutztown likely taking the tiebreaker after winning the first meeting 1-0.

State of Play
  • West Chester comes in off a 2-0 win over Shippensburg; Kianna Barber has five goals in the last five games.
  • Kutztown is coming off a 4-0 victory over Mansfield, led by Carley Louey, who has 14 goals this season.
  • West Chester swept last season’s meetings, but Kutztown won this season’s first matchup.
What's Next

West Chester opens the PSAC Tournament at home Tuesday. A win Wednesday would earn the Rams the East title and a matchup with the PSAC West’s No. 4 or No. 5 seed; otherwise, they could enter as the No. 2 seed and face the West’s No. 3.

Bottom Line

Wednesday’s rivalry game is more than a regular-season finale: it will decide the division title and could determine who gets the more favorable route into the NCAA tournament.
