Conference and Schedule
Edinboro plays in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (www.psacsports.org) which is comprised of 14 teams, all in Pennsylvania. The PSAC is split into two divisions, east and west. Edinboro plays in the west. Conference play can start in early December but games played against the other division do not count in the standings. Edinboro will play each team in its own division twice, home and away, and teams in the other division once. Conference games are frequently played on Wednesdays and Saturdays and are piggybacked with the women's. The season concludes with the PSAC tourney which takes the top four teams in each division. Crossover play begins in the semi-finals with the eventual winner receiving an automatic berth to the NCAA tourney.
