Women's Soccer Earns ECAC Tournament Bid

Division III Women's Soccer South Bracket

ERIE, Pa. – The Penn State Behrend women’s soccer team will be making its second straight and seventh overall appearance in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) South Region Tournament, earning the No. 3 seed.

The Lions (13-6-1) keep their season going against No. 6 Marywood Pacers (13-4-2) on Wednesday in the first round at 11 a.m. at the Behrend Fields, followed by the men’s ECAC game at 1:30 p.m. against No. 7 Bethany.   The Lions earned the No. 1 seed on the men’s side.

Behrend fell short of an NCAA Tournament bid, dropping a 3-0 decision to Penn State Altoona in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Championships. Marywood is receiving the program’s first-ever bid to the ECAC Tournament. The Pacers were runners up in the CSAC playoffs, falling 6-5 in penalty kicks to Centenary.

In last year's ECAC Tournament, the Lions fell to Grove City 2-1 in the first round.

The winners of Wednesday's game will advance to Saturday's semifinal round at the highest remaining seed. The championship will be played on Sunday, November 14 at a time to be determined.
