West Chester University tops Ferris State, books spot in NCAA Division II national final on Saturday

West Chester University women’s soccer will get a chance to play in a national final for the first time in program history.

A goal from Maggie Lena on a trailing run into the box in the 65th minute was enough to fend off Ferris State and book a spot in Saturday’s NCAA Division II final. The Golden Rams (23-0-1) will take on the winner of Western Washington and Columbus State in the final at 6 p.m. eastern.

The unbeaten PSAC champions took a lead in the 26th minute when Jacqueline Hug pounced on a ball in the box and struck a left-footed shot into the left corner.
