Rock falls in PSAC finals

#5 California (Pa.) beat the 23rd-ranked Rock by a 5-0 score Saturday morning in Bloomsburg

BLOOMSBURG, Pa. -- Fifth-ranked California U. of Pa. handed the 23rd-ranked Rock a 5-0 setback Saturday morning in the championship match of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Team Championships at Bloomsburg University.

The loss was only the third sustained by The Rock (20-3) this season and the second that came at the hands of the Vulcans (23-3).

The Rock is now idle until the NCAA Division II regional berths are awarded. SRU is a virtual lock for a top-three berth in the East Region and could be in line to host one of the two regional competitions.

California is a sure bet to receive the top seed in the East Region.

Complete results of Saturday's match were as follows:

No. 1 -- 
Inga Chilingaryan/Helena Van Eysendeyk (Cal) def. Kayla Blackburn / Laura Handy  8-1
