MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - The Millersville men's soccer team is the defending PSAC tournament champion and begins its quest to repeat on Friday afternoon at 3 p.m., against Mercyhurst. The Marauders earned a first-round bye and hosting duties for this year's tournament due to their first-place finish in the PSAC East standings. Mercyhurst defeated Slippery Rock 3-0 in the quarterfinals on Wednesday afternoon. That game was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was postponed due to inclement weather.

The Marauders are well-rested and have not been in action since last Saturday against Bloomsburg when they claimed a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from senior Jacob Gosselin and freshman Bob Hennessey.

Millersville has won two straight games against Mercyhurst, including a wild 4-3 win in 2018. The last time the two teams met in the PSAC tournament was in 2016's championship game, which Mercyhust won 2-1. Thanks to the PSAC division realignment this fall, the Lakers are only the second team from the PSAC West the Marauders will have faced in 2019. They hosted then-No.8-ranked Gannon University on Sept. 25, with the Golden Knights claiming a 2-1 victory.

Gannon and West Chester will meet in the other PSAC tournament semifinal at Pucillo Field on Friday night. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
