Slippery Rock University Athletics

Jess Verbic came off the bench to help lead the Slippery Rock University lacrosse team to one of the biggest wins in program history when it upset No. 6 Mercyhurst University last week. Playing in her first game of the season, Verbic scored two goals, including the game-winning strike, in The Rock’s 11-9 victory against Mercyhurst. The win was SRU’s first against Mercyhurst in the program’s history.
