Shippensburg's NCAA tournament berth is its third in the last nine years and its fifth in school history.
Three weeks ago, Shippensburg hosted Bloomsburg in an epic battle that went the way of the Red Raiders, 49-42. The two teams combined for 1,163 yards of total offense and nine turnovers in a clash that came down to the final seconds, with junior quarterback Zach Zulli finding senior Bryan Barley in the end zone with 4.8 seconds left for the game-winning touchdown.
