SEMIFINAL PREVIEW
• Millersville and West Chester meet for the third time this season after Millersville won the first meeting on the road by a 3-1 score and then earned a 2-0 win at home on Oct. 15. West Chester is the defending PSAC Champion and defeated Millersville 4-0 in last season's PSAC Championship game.
• West Chester won the first eight meetings between the programs, but Millersville has won the last two. Millersville, however, has never beaten the same team three times in the same season.
• Millersville's only two losses this season have come by 1-0 scores on the road (at Shippensburg and at Indiana (Pa.)). All four of West Chester's losses have come against Millersville and Shippensburg, which are the top two ranked teams in Division II.
• Millersville set a program record for single-season victories and is one win away from tying the record for most wins in a season. Millersville is making back-to-back PSAC Tournament appearances for the first time since 1992-93. Millersville's two PSAC titles came in the 1985 and 1986 seasons.
• The Marauders returned to PSAC prominence last season after a 19-year hiatus from the postseason. Millersville entered the tournament as the No. 3 seed from the PSAC East and defeated Bloomsburg 2-0 on the road. Millersville then upset then-No.1-ranked Shippensburg 1-0 in the PSAC Semifinal before falling to West Chester in the title game, 4-0.
• With a 14-7 record in 2012 and a 16-2 mark this season, the Marauders' 30 wins are the most ever record in back-to-back seasons.

SCOUTING THE MARAUDERS
• Millersville is the best defensive team in Division II, ranking first in goals against average (.61) and Lauren Sotzin ranks first in both goals against average and save percentage (.842). Sotzin owns eight shutouts this season and is one short of the school record set by Angela Lutz in 1992. Sotzin also totaled eight shutouts last season, giving her the most by a Marauder in back-to-back seasons since Millersville Hall of Fame member Stacey Hollinger recorded eight in three consecutive seasons from 1986-1988.
• The team's leading goal scorer, Champayne Hess, is Millersville's first 10-goal scorer since Kristie Testa in 2009. Freshman Arianna Grays has seven goals, which are the most by a Marauder freshman since Jaclyn Kulesza's seven in 2004.
• 15 different Marauders have scored at least one goal and two players that haven't--Brittany Troutman and Mary Atkins--have five and four assists respectively. Eight different players have at least five goals and nine different players have scored game-winners. In contrast, three West Chester players have accounted for 40 of the team's 81 scores (.494). Shippensburg has three players accounting for 38 of 69 goals (.551). Bloomsburg's Felicia Domenici and Brittany Mathews own 24 of the team's 47 goals (.511).
• Champayne Hess has scored six goals in the last six games and at least one in four of the last six.
• Millersville generates more opportunities than any team in Division II through penalty corners. The Marauders lead the nation with 252 corners and have allowed only 102. The Marauders have earned double-digit penalty corners in 15 of 18 games.

SCOUTING WEST CHESTER
• West Chester went 20-2 last season and 17-4 in 2011--its first season at the Division II level. West Chester won the national championship both seasons but lost in the PSAC Quarterfinals in 2011. This season's team is led by a trio of dangerous offensive threats in Megan Callanan (15 goals, 3 assists), Kelsi Lykens (14 goals, 13 assists) and Alayna Brown (11 goals, 3 assists). Stef Pirri and Nancy Stehman also have 11 assists apiece. West Chester is the top-scoring team in the PSAC with 81 goals, averaging 4.5 per game. Lykens leads the league in shots taken with an average of 6.61 per game. She also ranks second in points (41) and third in goals, behind Callanan, who ranks second.
• Audree Bonavita has started 14 goals in goal and owns an 11-3 record. She started both games against Millersville. She has won six consecutive games in goal with four shutouts in that stretch.
• West Chester seems to be peaking at the right time. Since losing at Millersville on Oct. 15, the Golden Rams haven't lost and have outscored opponents 29-3 over six games.
