Pitt-Johnstown, under fifth-year Head Coach Vito Addalli, enters the match at 0-1-2 overall and 0-0-1 in the conference after opening PSAC West-play with a 2-2 draw at Edinboro on Saturday. Emily Esser's early goal put the Mountain Cats on top, and MacKenzie Stephens' goal with six minutes to play knotted it at two.
 
Head Coach Jon Arlet's (5^th-year) Mercyhurst Lakers come in at 2-1-0 overall and 2-0-0 in the PSAC West following a 3-1 home win over Edinboro on Wednesday and a 1-0 victory at Clarion behind Emily Mijares' goal on Saturday.
 
Last season, the Lakers took two tight matches from the Mountain Cats.  On September 22, Mercyhurst earned a 2-0 win in Erie, before securing a 2-1 victory on October 23 in Johnstown.  Esser's penalty kick gave Pitt-Johnstown the lead, but the Lakers answered with goals from Safia Paraiso and Mijares.
