West Chester University women go for gold in Seattle tonight

West Chester University’s women’s soccer team has a chance to make history tonight in Seattle.

To do so, they’ll need to beat a Western Washington team that will be playing about 2,700 miles closer to their campus than the Golden Rams.

It’s West Chester’s first appearance in a national final and the third for Western Washington, which fell to Grand Valley State in the 2019 final after beating them in the 2016 final.

A win tonight — the game kicks off at 6 p.m. — would be the first national title in soccer for the university since the men’s team won the NCAA title in 1961.
