POSTSEASON SCENARIO
For Bloomsburg to qualify for the PSAC playoffs it must win and receive help. Entering the season's final day, the Huskies, Gannon (at Mercyhurst), Seton Hill (at Pitt-Johnstown) and California (PA) (at Millersville) all are in contention for the last playoff spot in the conference tournament. Bloomsburg, Seton Hill and Cal all have 13 conference points – the Huskies hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over Cal via their victory over the Vulcans last month but would lose the head-to-head tiebreaker with Seton Hill. Gannon enters the day with 15 points and would just need a tie to capture a head-to-head tiebreaker with Bloomsburg. Seton Hill also would own the tiebreaker in the event of a a three-way tie with BU and Cal.
