Standings

The top six (6) teams qualify for the PAC Championship Tournament, solely determined by the conference schedule. Seeding is determined by the following:
- Maximum points (win=3 points; draw=1 point);
- Head-to-head (H-to-H);
- Goal differential in conference matches (4-goal limit per match);
- Goals for in conference matches (4-goal limit per match);
- Goals against in conference matches (4-goal limit per match);
- Points earned vs. descending conference opponents (starting with the team with the most points);
- Coin toss.
When three or more teams are tied, the above tie break scenarios are applied until either a single team or multiple teams are eliminated or advanced. Once a team(s) are eliminated or advanced, the tie break scenario reverts back to the first criteria of the tie break scenarios and continues until the field is set.

Games remaining
Tuesday, Oct. 27: Allegheny at Bethany / Geneva at Grove City
Wednesday, Oct. 28: Saint Vincent at Thiel / Chatham at W&J / Westminster at Hiram / Saint Francis at Franciscan 

2026 PAC Women’s Soccer Tournament scenarios
*Grove City (26 points) has clinched the #1 seed and home field advantage throughout the tournament regardless of the outcome of their game with Geneva Tuesday.

*There is currently a three-way tie for second place between Allegheny, Saint Vincent and Franciscan all with 22 points – all three have clinched a tournament berth:
-Allegheny plays at Bethany and Saint Vincent plays at Thiel next week. If both win, they finish tied with 25 points, or if both tie, they have 23 points and Allegheny is the #2 seed due to a HTH win over Saint Vincent, which would be the #3 seed.
-The only way for Saint Vincent to earn the #2 seed and a first round bye is to defeat Thiel while Allegheny loses to or ties Bethany.
-Franciscan’s countable regular season schedule is completed (only a game with Saint Francis remains).
1) If they finish in a 2-way tie with Saint Vincent, Franciscan is the higher seed via HTH tiebreaker.  
2) If they finish in a 2-way tie with Allegheny, the teams tied HTH so we move to conference scoring margin. ALL is currently +14 while FRA is +4, so Allegheny would win the tiebreaker
3) If they finish in a 3-way tie due to both ALL and SVC losing, Saint Vincent is the #4 seed via combined HTH tiebreaker (ALL & FRA both 1-0-1, SVC 0-2). The tiebreaker for the #2 seed would then start over with scenario #2 above, resulting in ALL as #2 and FRA as #3

*Waynesburg (19 points) has completed its regular season conference schedule and has clinched a tournament berth and the #5 seed.  

*Three teams remain in contention for the #6 seed and final tournament berth. Chatham and Washington & Jefferson (13 points) are one point ahead of Geneva (12 points):
-Chatham and W&J play each other Wednesday – if either team wins outright, that team clinches the final tournament berth and #6 seed.
-If Chatham and W&J tie in their match Wednesday, we move to conference goal differential tiebreaker. W&J is currently +2 and Chatham is -2, so W&J would win the tiebreaker for the final slot.
-The only way Geneva (which plays Grove City Tuesday) can get the final berth is with a win over GCC coupled with a tie between Chatham and W&J.  

*Westminster, Thiel, Hiram, and Bethany have all been eliminated from tournament eligibility regardless of the results of Wednesday’s matches.

Wednesday, Oct. 28: Allegheny at Bethany / Geneva at Grove City / Saint Vincent at Thiel / Chatham at W&J / Westminster at Hiram / Saint Francis at Franciscan

2026 PAC Men’s Soccer Tournament scenarios
*Grove City (25 points) has clinched a first round bye and can clinch the top seed and home field advantage throughout the tournament with a win or tie against Geneva Wednesday.  

*Allegheny (22 points) can clinch at least the #2 seed and a first round bye with a win or tie at Bethany. If Allegheny defeats Bethany and Grove City loses to Geneva, they finish tied with 25 points and Allegheny is the #1 seed due to HTH tiebreaker against Grove City, which would be the #2 seed. Allegheny needs a win to clinch the bye if Geneva wins – an ALL tie and GEN win would drop Allegheny to the #3 seed.

*Geneva (21 points) has clinched a tournament berth and has clinched at least the #3 seed regardless of the outcome of their match at Grove City. Geneva can still be the #2 seed with a win over GCC coupled with an Allegheny loss or tie at Bethany.  

*Franciscan (19 points) has completed its countable regular season schedule (only match remaining is vs. Saint Francis) and has clinched a tournament berth and the #4 seed (see below).  

*Washington & Jefferson and Waynesburg (both 16 points) are currently tied for fifth, but Waynesburg’s regular season is completed while W&J hosts Chatham Wednesday. If W&J defeats Chatham, they finish tied with Franciscan with 19 points, but Franciscan would stay as the #4 seed and W&J would be #5 seed due to HTH tiebreaker.  
-If W&J loses to Chatham, they finish tied with Waynesburg at 16 points for the final tournament spot if Saint Vincent (14 points) either loses or ties at Thiel and Hiram (14 points) either loses or ties with Westminster. In this scenario, Waynesburg would get the #5 seed and W&J would be #6 seed due to HTH tiebreaker: 

*Saint Vincent, which holds the HTH tiebreaker over Hiram, can only make the tournament with a win at Thiel coupled with a W&J tie or loss against Chatham
-Saint Vincent is eliminated with a tie or loss at Thiel, while Hiram is eliminated with a tie or loss vs Westminster
-Saint Vincent holding the HTH tiebreaker over Hiram (see above) is applicable if both win next week to finish tied with 17 points and W&J loses. In this scenario, Saint Vincent is #5 seed and Hiram #6 seed due to HTH tiebreaker while W&J and Waynesburg (16 points each) are both out.
-If SVC wins at Thiel and W&J loses to Chatham and Hiram loses or ties with Westminster, Saint Vincent (17 points) is the #5 seed and Waynesburg (16 points – see HTH tiebreaker w/W&J above) is the #6 seed.  -If SVC wins at Thiel and W&J ties Chatham, the two teams are tied at 17 points (Waynesburg would be out w/16 points)
-W&J would then be the #5 seed and Saint Vincent #6 due to HTH tiebreaker
-Hiram could still be the #5 seed with a win over Westminster coupled with a W&J loss to Chatham and a Saint Vincent loss or tie at Thiel.  
-A three-way tie at 17 points is also possible with Saint Vincent defeats Thiel, Hiram defeats Westminster and W&J ties Chatham. In this scenario, all three teams are 1-1 combined HTH, so we move to conference scoring margin after final contests: currently, Hiram is +3, Saint Vincent +2 and W&J +1. If one team is eliminated after this tiebreaker, we go back to HTH to break the remaining tie.

*Westminster, Chatham, Thiel and Bethany have all been eliminated from tournament eligibility regardless of the results of Wednesday’s matches.
