East Stroudsburg heads to top-seeded Millersville for Wednesday’s PSAC semifinal, looking to build on its first playoff win in four years. The Warriors beat Lock Haven 1-0 and have already beaten Millersville on the road this season, while holding the Marauders scoreless in both regular-season meetings.

By the Numbers
  • ESU is 8-9-1 and has recorded 8 shutouts; six of its eight wins came on the road.
  • Millersville has allowed 14 goals this season, averaging 0.7 per game, and has won 3 straight.
  • ESU has scored 29 goals; Millersville averages 2.1 goals per game and leads the conference with 14.9 shots per game.
  • ESU leads the all-time series, 47-34, including 5 postseason wins in 6 meetings.
Yes, But

Millersville brings the conference’s strongest defense and a potent attack, making it a difficult road test. But ESU has already shown it can contain the Marauders, keeping them scoreless in both matchups this season.

State of Play
  • ESU ended a 21-day winless streak with its 1-0 quarterfinal victory at Lock Haven.
  • Millersville beat Slippery Rock 2-0 in the quarterfinals and enters on a three-game winning streak.
  • The semifinal is scheduled for Wednesday at 1 p.m. at Millersville.
What's Next

The winner advances to the PSAC championship game. ESU will need its defense to keep Millersville’s high-volume attack in check while making the most of its scoring chances.

Bottom Line

Millersville has the stronger season-long numbers, but ESU’s two scoreless performances against the Marauders give the Warriors a credible path to an upset.
