The second quarter was all Slippery Rock. Brooke Wisniewski scored two goals, and Rachel Mahoney and Maddie Blazey also added tallies to give The Rock an 8-1 advantage. Madison Handly stopped the bleeding five minutes into the second half, but it did not help much.
Camryn Whipple scored The Rock’s lone goal of the third quarter, before D’Youville scored two more goals. Sydney Gordon and Newlin scored their final goals of the game.
The Rock outshot D’Youville a staggering 41-15 in the game and had 34 shots on goal. Slippery Rock outplayed the Saints in nearly every aspect of the game. They were up just five points heading into the final quarter, however.
The Rock buried two more shots to put the game away. Leora Owings and Mahoney scored the final goals of the game and sealed Slippery Rock’s third victory of the season.
This is the second straight year that Slippery Rock has started the season with three straight wins. Much like last year, their fourth game of the year will come against a ranked opponent. They will be looking to take down Lynn University to continue their undefeated start. This time, they will be doing it in Florida.
