Final Stats

Slippery Rock, Pa. - Steve Perri scored a goal and had two assists Wednesday afternoon as The Rock rolled to its second straight win, a 6-0 whitewashing of visiting Salem International on Bob DiSpirito Field at N. Kerr Thompson Stadium.

Combined with a 0-0, double-overtime tie Aug. 29 vs. California (Pa.), The Rock has compiled a three-game unbeaten streak after dropping its first two games of the season to defending NCAA Division II national champion Dowling and reigning Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference king East Stroudsburg.

Perri was one of six Rock players who scored a goal in Weednesday's game, the outcome of which was never in doubt after Ed Mocarsky scored off an assist from Jeremy Deighton 90 seconds into the action.

The Rock outshot the outmanned Eagles by a 33-4 margin and had a 14-0 advantage in shots on goal.

Neither starting goalie Chris Cook nor sub netminder Brett Lelko was called upon to make a save in the game.

Perri's goal off assists from Mocarsky and Nick Christy made it 2-0 i the 31st minute of action, and that's the way the score stood at intermission.

Jeff Hamley converted the first of two Perri assists on back-to-back goals to expand the lead to 3-0 in the 61st minute before Patrick Cormac knocked one home off a Perri pass in the 69th minute.

An Iain Langstone tally, assisted by Jordan Minnie, made it 5-0 in the 72nd minute before an unassisted goal by Lucas Feathers closed out the scoring parade.

The action was marred by three red cards (ejections) and two yellow cards (cautions) against the visitors.

SRU returns to action on Saturday, when it will visit Kutztown for an 11:30 a.m. Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference contest.

Saturday's game will be the first of eight straight PSAC squads Matt Thompson's squad will play before stepping outside conference play Oct. 10 to host Wheeling Jesuit.
