ERIE, Pa. – The Penn State Behrend women's soccer team will travel to Middletown, Connecticut and the campus of Wesleyan University to take on the Cardinals (14-1-2) in the first round of the 2021 NCAA Division III Tournament on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Wesleyan was ranked as high as No. 13 in the national rankings this season and lost a heartbreaker in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Championship to Middlebury with the game being decided via penalty kicks.
The Cardinals will also host Ithaca (14-4) vs. Stevens (9-6-4) with the winners of each match facing off Sunday.
This will be the first time the Lions and Cardinals have squared off against each other.
