Both WES and FRA have first round PAC tournament byes and will host semifinal games on Wed., Nov. 2. *Grove City (6-2-1, 19 points) can clinch the #3 seed with a win over W&J Wednesday. Regardless of the outcome, GCC will host a PAC quarterfinal tournament game this Saturday. *Chatham (5-1-3, 18 points) can clinch the #3 seed with a win over Saint Vincent Tuesday coupled with a GCC loss to W&J Wednesday. CHA ends up tied with GCC if they tie SVC and GCC loses to W&J – in this scenario, the teams played to a HTH 1-1 draw so we would move to goal differential in conference matches (4-goal limit per match). Currently, Grove City is at +11 while Chatham is at +8, so GCC would win this tiebreaker unless they lost to W&J by 4 or more goals Wednesday. Regardless of the outcome, Chatham be no worse than the #4 seed and will host a PAC quarterfinal tournament game this Saturday. *Bethany (4-4-1, 13 points) has clinched a playoff berth and can clinch the #5 seed with a win over Westminster Wednesday. *W&J (3-3-3, 12 points) can clinch the #5 seed with a win over Grove City Wednesday, coupled with a Bethany tie or loss to Westminster. A W&J win or tie vs. Grove City would clinch the final tournament berth outright. *Saint Vincent (2-4-3, 9 points) can only clinch a tie for 6th place with a win over Chatham coupled with a W&J loss to Grove City. In this scenario, SVC and W&J played to a HTH 1-1 draw, so we would move to goal differential in conference matches (4-goal limit per match). Currently, W&J is +2 and SVC is -4 so W&J would win this tiebreaker unless the combination of a SVC win and W&J loss is a combined seven goal differential or more (e.g. SVC wins by three goals, W&J loses by four goals, resulting in SVC -1 and W&J -2 overall in conference play). If it is a six-goal differential and the teams end up tied in tiebreaker #3, Saint Vincent currently has more goals scored so they would win the #4 tiebreaker scenario. *Allegheny (2-5-2, 8 points), Geneva (2-6-1, 7 points), Waynesburg (1-4-4, 7 points) and Thiel (0-9, 0 points) have all been eliminated from tournament eligibility.
