SCSU, West Chester, at Pennsylvania
Saturday, February 14th, 1pm, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Southern Connecticut joins two Philadelphia area teams in competition at Penn. It’ll be an interesting meet with two ECAC D2 foes in the house with Ivy League Pennsylvania.

Both SCSU and Penn are doing well this year and scoring similarly, so either team could take this meet depending on how they perform. The other teams that each are competing directly with will not be in the room, but the scores will count. For SCSU, Bridgeport has raised their high score for the season, and Penn has the other Ivy League teams scoring high as well.

Scoring (Scores from Troester) (While all team members contribute in tangible and intangible ways, I use scores which are meant to serve as a snapshot of the top scorers for each team on each event. It’s not an exact science where I cut off the top scorers mark, more of an eyeballing it thing.)

Southern faces a tough Penn team, and a D2 rival in WCU down in PA.
