Philadelphia Biblical University travels to Lancaster tonight for the only scheduled meeting between the two schools this season. Both PBU teams enter the game with a record of 4-13, while the LBC women are 7-8 and the LBC men are 4-11. Both games have lots of meaning for the NCCAA East Region playoffs as the winner of each game will have the inside track to at least the number two seed, or in the men's case, perhaps the top seed.
