PLAYOFF PICTURE TAKES A HIT • With five games left in the regular season, the Golden Rams are running out of time to make their move in the league standings and climb into a playoff spot for the postseason conference tournament. Saturday's loss to IUP was a blow to West Chester's hopes for a playoff bid. However, the Golden Rams still have four conference games remaining and every opportunity that comes with that to make the playoffs. The problem is that two of those four conference opponents are two of the best teams in the PSAC and in the country.• West Chester is currently in seventh place in the league standings and would be on the outside looking in if the season were to end today. But, they are only half-a-game out of fifth place and one game out of fourth. So, a move up the standings is certainly a possibility.• Everything is still very much in front of them as they come down the final stretch of the schedule. West Chester is 4-4 in one-goal games and has played two of the top teams in the standings to a one-goal outcome. The Golden Rams were just on the wrong side of those two outcomes.ABOUT LIMESTONE • Limestone is 8-4 on the season and in fifth place in the South Atlantic Conference. The top six teams qualify for the conference tournament, and the Saints are trying to secure one of those bids to continue their season. Zoe Bergmann is fourth in the conference in scoring with nine goals and tied for third with 22 points. Victoria Gonzalez-Lopez is fifth in the SAC in scoring with 18 points as well. As they go, so goes the Limestone offense.• Limestone took eight shots and had 10 penalty corner opportunities, but could not score against Millersville on Saturday. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Saints.WEST CHESTER vs. LIMESTONE – THE ALL-TIME SERIES• West Chester is undefeated in four contests against Limestone. The two sides met four consecutive years from 2015 to 2017 – all of those encounters came at West Chester. The Golden Rams scored at least four goals in all four games, taking a 5-1 decision the last time they met Limestone, which is the largest margin of victory in the series.WEST CHESTER – LAST TIME OUT (at IUP 10-19-24)• Indiana (Pa.)'s Jess Davidson scored in the second overtime to lift IUP to a 2-1 victory over visiting West Chester in a PSAC field hockey contest Saturday night. West Chester fell behind IUP in the league standings with the loss. The Crimson Hawks moved into sixth place in the standings. Jasmine Miller put West Chester on top early in the contest with a marker in the 12th minute. IUP's Lilly Fringer tied the game in the 14th minute, and that's the way things stood until the second overtime. West Chester goalkeeper Ryan Curley made four saves in the loss.</div></body>
