THE REMATCH
• Millersville and West Chester last met October 27 when the Marauders traveled to the Golden Rams and the two teams battled to a two-overtime 0-0 draw. Millersville actually outshot the Golden Rams 12-4 and registered three shots on goal to West Chester's one, but could not beat keeper James Wood.Â
• Just before time expired, the Marauders had one of their nine corner kicks nearly go in when
Devin Rediker sent a header just over the crossbar.Â
TALE OF THE TAPE
• The Marauders scored 43 goals compared to 36 from West Chester, but the Golden Rams allowed the least amount of goals in the conference with 16; Millersville allowed 27.Â
• Both teams boast a balanced scoring attack. Millersville has two players with four goals and four players that have scored five. The Golden Rams have six players with three or more goals and 13 different players have scored at least once in 2016 while 17 have found the back of the net for the Marauders.
• Goalkeeper James Wood leads the conference in shutouts, saves, and goals against average.
Darian McCauley, with his six PSAC shutouts, ranks second in that category.
• West Chester was last in action Saturday when they defeated Seton Hill 3-1 on the road.Â
