KUTZTOWN, Pa. – Jessica Traynor (Pennsburg, Pa./Upper Perkiomen) and Megan Doyle (Hackettstown, N.J./Hackettstown) combined for two goals and Mia Kepler (Wall Township, N.J./Wall) recorded a shutout in the cage as No. 3 Kutztown completed its Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference portion of the regular season schedule with a 2-0 win Wednesday night over Millersville at Andre Reed Stadium.
 
With the victory, the Golden Bears (12-4 overall, 6-3 PSAC) clinched at least the three seed in next week's PSAC Tournament and would host a quarterfinal round game on Monday. They can still earn the two seed and a bye to the semifinals if East Stroudsburg loses to IUP on Friday, Nov. 1.
 
It was the sixth goal of the season for both Traynor and Doyle, tied for second-most on the team.
 
After a scoreless first quarter, Marlee Fetrow (Birdsboro, Pa./Daniel Boone) sent a pass into the box from the center that took a deflection off the stick of Traynor for the game's opening goal with 6:33 left in the second quarter and the two teams went into halftime with KU ahead 1-0.
 
Then, late in the third quarter, Doyle gave her team some much needed cushion after she took a pass from Greenleigh McGehee (New Tripoli, Pa./Northwestern Lehigh) and found the back of the cage for the second goal of the game with 1:03 remaining in the third.
 
Kepler earned her third shutout of the season and first since Oct. 5, against IUP. She finished with one save and saw two shots, to Kutztown's 15. KU also held a 15-3 advantage in penalty corners.
 
Kutztown will finish up the regular season on Saturday, Nov. 2, hosting Roberts Wesleyan in a non-conference game on senior day at 11 a.m., from Andre Reed Stadium.
