West Chester earned an at-large bid and the fourth seed in the Atlantic Region in the upcoming NCAA Division II tournament.
The Golden Rams (11-4-3) will travel to West Virginia to take on top-seeded Charleston on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the regional semifinal.
It’s the first appearance for the program since 2002 when they were knocked out on penalty kicks after a draw against East Stroudsburg. The Golden Rams made seven trips to the NCAA Tournament in the ‘60s and early ‘70s before Division II and III were created, winning a national championship in 1961 with a 2-0 win over Saint Louis in the final.
