Both Bloomsburg and West Chester have clinched a spot in the PSAC tournament, but Saturday's contests will determine the final seeding after Wednesday's draw. Each team could finish as high as second or third and face each other in the first round next Tuesday.

Kaitlynn Haughey got the only shot on goal off for the Golden Rams in the second half, but sophomore Alexa Ryan (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) was right there to make the stop. Senior Helen Flynn (Allentown, Pa./Parkland) ripped a shot on net in the 70^th minute, but McGee got her hand on the ball as it was going toward the top of the net and turned away the scoring attempt.
 
The Bloomsburg defense turned away the final two shot attempted from West Chester in the 82^nd and 83^rd minute to send the game into over.
 
Bloomsburg took the only shot of the overtime periods, as sophomore Lauren Bull's (Bloomsburg, Pa./Central Columbia) attempt was blocked in the 99^th minute.
 
The Golden Rams held a slight 9-7 advantage in shots for the game though Bloomsburg led 4-2 in shots on goal. Ryan made two saves for her shutout while McGee needed four.
 
Bull led BU with three shots while Sexton had a pair as well.
