Five Things to Know
- West Chester remained unbeaten with a 4-1 victory over Shippensburg on Saturday evening. Scoreless at the half, West Chester scored three goals in a four-and-a-half-minute span to take a 3-0 lead and added another in the 69th minute in a dominant 4-1 victory over the Raiders. Jordan Nguyen (Lancaster, Pa./Manheim Township) scored the first goal of the game in the 53rd minute before Kianna Barber (Browns Mills, N.J./BCIT)) netted a pair in the 54th and 57th minutes to give the Golden Rams a three-goal lead. Lauren Reimold (Chester Springs, Pa./Downingtown East) added a goal of her own in the 69th minute as West Chester took a 4-0 lead en route to the 4-1 victory. Grace Keen (Lincoln University, Pa./Avon Grove) made a pair of saves to improve to 4-0-0 on the season.
- With her brace in the win on Saturday evening, Barber is now tied for the team lead in goals with two, matching Abigail Hanemann (Point Pleasant Beach, N.J./Point Pleasant Boro) and Emma Suhoski (Mountain Top, Pa./Crestwood) for the team goal-scoring lead, while also leading the team in points with five with an assist in the win at ESU earlier in September. Balance continues to be a strong suit of West Chester as the Golden Rams have scored 12 goals this season with nine different players. In goal, Keen is 4-0-0 with a 0.27 goals-against average and a hand in three shutouts to start her senior season. With her four victories to open the campaign, Keen is third in career wins with 46 and is just eight wins shy of matching Hilary Smart for second in team history with 54.
- Millersville enters play on Wednesday as hot as any team in the PSAC East, as the Marauders are 5-1-0 overall and 3-1-0 in PSAC East play after making an appearance in the PSAC Championship weekend in West Chester last November. Millersville opened East play with a 2-1 loss at East Stroudsburg but has not allowed a goal since with a 1-0 win over Bloomsburg, a 6-0 win at Mansfield, a 3-0 vs Millersville, and a 2-0 win over Lackawanna since that setback.
- Aubrey Strohecker has a quick 10 goals for 20 points on the season, while Ashyln Calarbia and Sara Edwards have two goals each along with three and two assists for seven and six points, respectively. In goal, Megan Taltavull is 5-1-0 with a 0.35 goals-against average and a hand in five shutouts for the Marauders through six starts.
- West Chester holds a 27-11-3 lead in the all-time series with Millersville after splitting the season series with the Marauders in each of the last two seasons. When West Chester fell to Millersville at home in 2024, it was the Golden Rams' first home loss to the Marauders since September 2004. West Chester did pick up a home win over Millersville last October as Lindsay Balmer (Perkasie, Pa./Pennridge) scored to lead the Golden Rams to the 1-0 victory.
