Shippensburg (13-4, 7-3 PSAC), the No. 3 seed, is in the PSAC Tournament for the 15th consecutive year and is making its 16th trip to the postseason in 17 years under National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Hall of Fame Head Coach
Bertie Landes.
Bloomsburg (9-9, 5-5), the No. 6 seed, returns to the PSAC Tournament after one year away from the proceedings. The Huskies are ninth in the PSAC in scoring but rank fourth in terms of goals allowed -- the BU defense has yielded just 24 goals in 18 games.
SU has won six straight over the Huskies. This season, the teams also played to a 0-0 tie on September 19 in a game that SU won via the 1v1-overtime tiebreaker. In the 2013 PSAC Tournament, SU hosted Bloomsburg in the semifinals and posted a 1-0 victory over the Huskies.
The winner of the Tuesday's match advances to the PSAC Semifinals on Friday. The winner will face the No. 2 seed Millersville at 11 a.m. in a game hosted by East Stroudsburg.
