SRU posted its first goal of the afternoon in the 14^th minute when Tess Keeley played a pass into Binder who proceeded to finish the possession with a shot that beat Gannon goalie Shannon Differ. Brosky quickly added another goal just over 10 minutes later.
 
 With just 18 seconds left in the first half, Keeley's shot was blocked by Gannon's Danitza Indacochea, who replaced Differ after SRU's second goal, only to have Harbart put back a rebounded shot to send Slippery Rock into halftime with a commanding 3-0 lead.
 
The Rock's defense controlled the second half by successfully clearing six Gannon corners and only allowing three shots on goal to close out the win. The highlight of the final 45 minutes of play occurred 15 minutes into the half when Hegeman made a diving save on Mani Brueckner's penalty kick.
 
Keeley led all players with a game-high three shots on goal. Brosky and Binder logged two shots on goal as well with Harbart and Dara Demich putting one shot on target each.
 
Five different Golden Knights took shots on goal Wednesday while Indacochea stopped four shots after replacing Differ at goal.
