MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - The Millersville men's soccer team remains the only unbeaten PSAC team in conference play and puts that record on the line Saturday afternoon as they host Shepherd University at 3 p.m. Shepherd is the only PSAC team to have not won a conference game, although they did force a draw with Shippensburg University.

The Marauders and Rams did meet earlier this fall, with the Ville earning a 2-1 victory on Oct. 5 thanks to goals from Bob Hennessey and Anthony Calamia.

Millersville remains in first place in the PSAC East standings with an unbeaten 7-0-2 conference record, remaining one point ahead of West Chester and seven clear of third-place East Stroudsburg. Only three regular season games remain before the PSAC tournament, and Millersville plays two of those games at home.

The Millersville men's soccer team has also been ranked No. 8 in Super Region 1 in the first NCAA regional rankings of the 2019 season.
