It could be a big weekend for the Gannon women's soccer team.

With a win at Seton Hill on Saturday, the first-place Golden Knights would clinch a playoff spot and a first-round home game in the PSAC Tournament.

However, getting a victory will be a challenge against a tough Seton Hill team.

Gannon (9-2-3 overall) enters the game with an 8-1-3 record and 27 standings points in the PSAC West with four regular-season games remaining. Mercyhurst is right behind with a 7-1-4 mark and 25 points.

Seton Hill (6-2-5 overall) is in third place at 4-2-5 with 17 points, while fourth-place Slippery Rock has a 3-2-7 conference record and 16 points.

The top four teams in the PSAC West advance the playoffs, and the top two teams host first-round PSAC Tournament games.

Seton Hill tied Gannon 1-1 at McConnell Family Stadium on September 17th. Since that game, the Griffins are 3-1-2 with the only loss coming to Slippery Rock.

Coach Colin Petersen's Golden Knights are coming off a 2-0 home-field victory against Edinboro on Wednesday.

Gannon senior Sarah Fails (Girard, Pa./Villa Maria) ranks first in the PSAC West and second in the PSAC with 18 points. She is also tied first in the PSAC West and tied for third in the PSAC with seven goals. Her four game-winning goals rank first in the PSAC West and second in the PSAC.
