GREENSBURG, Pa.- In search of a win to secure its second-consecutive PSAC Regular Season Title, the West Chester University men's soccer team (11-2-3, 7-1-3 PSAC) took to the road to take on a Seton Hill (7-4-6, 4-2-5 PSAC) team in need of a win in order to qualify for the PSAC Tournament. Neither side got the victory it was looking for as each team scored just once in a 1-1 draw.
How it Happened:

- In the 25th minute, Seton Hill answered back when Alex Dysen scored off an assist from Tormod Simonsen to even the score at 1-1 with 20 minutes left in the first half.
- In what has been something of a habit for West Chester in 2018, 90 minutes was not enough to decide a victor, thus, sending the game into overtime.
- In overtime, both sides threatened throughout applying pressure to the oppositions backline but neither side was able to score the elusive second goal ending the game in a 1-1 draw for the second such result in the past two weeks for West Chester.
Inside the Numbers:
- West Chester outshot its hosts by a wide 18-10 margin including a solid 8-2 advantage in shots on goal. West Chester also ended the game with a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks.
- Will Marshall (North Versailles, Pa./East Allegheny) made one impressive save on the afternoon to limit Seton Hill to just one goal while his counterpart Austin Iddon was spectacular making seven great saves to slow down the ever-dangerous West Chester offense.
- West Chester has played in five overtime games so far this season the Golden Rams have yet to lose one of these of contests playing to a record of 1-0-4 in these matchups.
