Series History: Slippery Rock has never lost to Clarion, holding a dominant 17-0-2 all-time record against the Golden Eagles.
 
Last Meeting: A pair goals less than two minutes apart in the first half would end up being all the scoring allowed in a Sept. 10, 2013 1-1 tie between The Rock and Golden Eagles (Box Score).

The Rock's defense did not allow another shot on goal after Clarion's opening score. Slippery Rock went on to fire off 10 more shots at Clarion's goal over the next 80 minutes, but Saussol managed to turn away every attempt to hold onto the tie (Box Score).
