ABOUT THE GAME

• The No. 4 seed Marauders will head to Kutztown on Tuesday, Nov. 9 to face off with the No. 1 seeded Bears. Millersville is looking for its first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) postseason victory since 2018 when they defeated Seton Hill 2-0 in the Quarterfinals. Kutztown's most recent postseason victory also came in the Quarterfinals against Seton Hall in 2017 by a score of 3-0. 
• Kutztown has beaten the Marauders in both of the teams' two matchups this season. However, both games were decided by one goal and the second went into double overtime, as Kutztown scored a golden goal with less than five minutes remaining to win the game. Millersville is one of three teams to take the 17-1 Bears to double overtime this season.  
• The winner of this game will advance to play the winner of Gannon (West No. 2 seed) and Slippery Rock (West No. 3 seed) in the PSAC Semifinals on Friday, Nov. 12.

• Millersville is currently outscoring (25-21) and outshooting (211-186, 114-90 on goal) its opponents. The Marauders are also creating more corner opportunities (98-54) than opponents this far into the season.
• Morgan Winchock has kept up the strong play up top for the Marauders. She has scored three goals in the last four games. This includes a two-goal performance in a 5-0 win over Mansfield, and a game-winning goal in the Marauders' most previous win over East Stroudsburg which clinched the final playoff berth in the PSAC East.
