The 2025 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Tournament kicks off this Tuesday, with six teams prepped and ready for a high-stakes postseason.
No. 1 seed Kutztown and No. 2 seed East Stroudsburg earned first-round byes as the top two teams after outstanding regular seasons. Kutztown completed its second perfect season, going 18-0 and finishing undefeated in PSAC play for the first time, again proving their No. 1 national ranking. The Golden Bears capped off the regular season with a 2-0 shutout over No. 2 nationally ranked Shippensburg. A slew of offensive threats lurk in the ranks, including Erin Gonzalez, Marissa Rice, and Grace Harrold.
East Stroudsburg capped its regular season with a decisive 8-2 win over Frostburg State, highlighting a season with losses only to No. 1 Kutztown and No. 5 West Chester. The Warriors even handed Shippensburg their first loss of the season on October 11, edging out the Raiders 3-2.
In the quarterfinals, No. 3 Shippensburg will host No. 6 Bloomsburg on Tuesday at Robb Sports Complex. When the two squads faced off this season, a scoreless 80 minutes of play was resolved in a shootout, as Bloomsburg defeated Shippensburg for the first time since 2015. Last year’s PSAC semifinal between the two went into overtime with the Raiders prevailing 2-1.
Meanwhile, No. 5 Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) will travel to take on No. 4 West Chester University at Vonnie Gros Field. The match-up comes just days after IUP took a 2-0 win over West Chester, highlighted by a pair of goals from junior forward Jess Davidson, while Crimson Hawks goalkeeper Celeste Pagliaroli recorded a four-save shutout. West Chester was one of just two teams to take out East Stroudsburg this year, a 2-1 OT win back in September.
Semifinals are set for Friday, November 7. Kutztown will host the winner of the IUP–West Chester quarterfinal, while East Stroudsburg University will await the Shippensburg–Bloomsburg victor.
All six squads are nationally ranked top-ten competition: No. 1 Kutztown, No. 2 Shippensburg, No. 4 East Stroudsburg, No. 5 West Chester, No. 6 Bloomsburg, and No. 10 IUP.
