Main Story

West Chester claimed a share of the PSAC East regular-season title and will host Seton Hill in a PSAC quarterfinal Sunday at 1 p.m. The Golden Rams enter on the strength of a 3-0 win over Shepherd, powered by Maksym Komperda’s first-half hat trick. Seton Hill arrives after a scoreless draw with Slippery Rock.

By the Numbers
  • West Chester: 7-4-6 overall; 6-3-1 in conference play.
  • Seton Hill: 7-5-6 overall; 5-2-3 in conference play.
  • West Chester leads the series, 4-1-1, and is unbeaten against Seton Hill at home.
  • Komperda has 8 goals and 17 points; goalkeeper Jaden Howard has 8 shutouts.
Yes, But

West Chester has the home-field advantage and a strong history in this matchup, but Seton Hill’s Rafael Santos leads the Griffins with 20 points. The teams haven’t met since a 1-1 draw in 2018, so their past results offer limited insight into Sunday’s matchup.

What's Next

The winner advances to the PSAC semifinals on Wednesday, Nov. 4, against Gannon or Shepherd. A place in the conference championship game, scheduled for Nov. 8, is at stake.

Bottom Line

West Chester’s title-winning momentum and home advantage set the stage, but advancing will depend on turning that edge into a result against a Seton Hill side led by a high-scoring attacker.
