Shippensburg (11-6-1, 9-6-1 PSAC), the No. 6 seed, is in the PSAC Tournament for the second time in three years and the fourth time overall under head coach Rob Fulton -- the all-time coaching wins leader for SU Women's Soccer. 

Slippery Rock (12-5-1, 11-4-1 PSAC), the No. 3 seed, leads the PSAC with 45 goals scored this season, averaging 2.5 per contest. The Rock is coached by Jessie Griggs and assisted by Mark Sappington -- both of whom served as coaches for Shippensburg in the past few seasons under Fulton.

SU lost 4-0 to Slippery Rock in the third match of the season.
