SCOUTING THE ROCK

• With every team in the PSAC still having at least three conference games to play, and the teams ranked third through 11th in the conference standings separated by no more than seven points, it's too early for the majority of the league to clinch a spot in the upcoming eight-team PSAC Tournament. However, if Slippery Rock wins two out of its final four games it would be virtually assured of a spot in the postseason.
 
• Despite being shutout against West Chester, Slippery Rock still leads the PSAC in goals scored with 37. The 37 goals already represent the 12th most goals in program history.

• In addition to her goal total, Keeley also leads The Rock in assists with four followed by Demich and senior midfielder Crysta Ganter with three apiece.
 
• A quartet of Rock players have had success against Edinboro throughout their careers. Binder and Felix both have goals against the Fighting Scots while Demich and Harbart each have assists.
 
• Binder and Demich continue to climb the SRU record books. Demich is two points away from moving into 14th place in Rock history for career points and two goals shy of reaching eighth in career goals. Binder needs one assist move into 14th place in school history for career assists.
