Gettysburg at Muhlenberg (Volleyball, 12:00)
A pair of teams tied for second place in the Conference square off in a match that will keep one alive in the chase for the top seed come tournament time. The Mules (15-7, 5-1) have been one of the pleasant surprises in the Centennial this season, while the Bullets (12-10, 5-1) are one of the perennial top teams. Muhlenberg's Allison Glass is averaging 3.01 kills per set and is second in the CC in service aces (0.55 per set). Gettysburg's Sarah Gorski averages 2.42 kills per set.

Muhlenberg at Gettysburg (Football, 1:00)
The Mules (3-2, 2-2 CC) travel to the Battlefield to take on the Bullets (3-2, 2-2) in what shapes up to be an elimination game, as neither team can afford another Conference loss. It is the 78th meeting between the schools in a series that began in 1907. Gettysburg holds a 43-33-1 lead and may be the favorite, as the home team has come away victorious in each of the last five meetings. Watch two of the most dynamic receivers in the Centennial in 'Berg's Cody Geyer (21.9 yards per catch) and the Bullets' Aden Twer (23.6). Video: centennialconference.tv

Haverford at McDaniel (Women's Soccer, 4:00)
Two teams fighting for a tournament berth and a possible first-round bye meet on The Hill. The defending Centennial champion Fords (6-2-5, 3-0-3) have not lost in the CC, while the Green Terror (10-3, 4-2) has been one of the surprise teams in the Conference. Haverford is 5-0-1 against McDaniel in the last six matches and holds a 14-6-3 series advantage. The Terror's last win was a 2-1 home triumph in 2006. McDaniel rookie Nicole Hill has nine goals and five assists this fall, while Ford GK Robin Chernow has a 0.63 goals-against mark and an 84.7 save percentage. Live Stats: mcdanielathletics.com

Dickinson at Swarthmore (Men's Soccer, 7:00)
Two of the top teams in the Conference meet along Crum Creek with first place riding in the balance. The Garnet (7-2-4, 3-0-2) is ranked 24th nationally by the NSCAA, while the Red Devils (10-2-1, 3-1-1) are ranked 13th. Dickinson holds a 13-6-4 lead in the series since 1993 and the home team has come away with at least one point in every regular-season meeting between the teams since 2006. Swat GK Peter Maxted has a 0.91 goals-against average, but will be tested by a Dickinson offense that leads the CC with 31 goals, including six from Derek Kachadurian. Video: centennialconference.tv
