WEST CHESTER, Pa. - West Chester University's field hockey squad maintained its No. 1 ranking in the Penn Monto/NFHCA Division II national rankings on Tuesday, and today the Golden Rams put that ranking on the line against No. 5 Shippensburg University in the pouring rain at Vonnie Gros Field at 4 p.m.
West Chester (12-0, 5-0 PSAC) is the only remaining undefeated school in Division II, and they sit atop the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference standings. Meanwhile, Shippensburg (7-4, 4-1) invades Vonnie Gros as the two-time defending national champions and looking to avenge a 1-0 loss to the Golden Rams earlier in the season. West Chester features the PSAC Offensive Player of the Week in senior
Katie Thompson (Washington, N.J./Warren Hills) while Shippensburg features the nation's leading scorer in Jazmin Petrantonio. Both Thompson and Petrantonio appear among the top three in almost every scoring category in Division II.
