SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – The Slippery Rock University field hockey team fell to No. 7 Bloomsburg University 3-2 Wednesday afternoon in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference game at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium.
 
Slippery Rock held a 2-0 lead for the majority of the game until Bloomsburg scored three goals in the final eight minutes to pull ahead and win, 3-2.
 
The Rock received goals from sophomore Hannah Downing and senior Megan McKay. Downing led the team in total shots with three. Freshman Savanna Robinson recorded two shots while McKay and senior Renee Rosenblum had one shot apiece, both of which were on goal.
 
Junior Kailee Krupski assisted on both Rock goals to bring her season total up to a career-best eight, the most of any player in the PSAC.
 
Junior Liz Wolfe recorded a defensive save for The Rock and junior goalkeeper Nicole Bream made six saves on 10 shots faced. Wolfe's defensive save was her sixth of the season. 
 
Slippery Rock struck first at 33:06 when Downing scored her third goal of the season on a pass off of a penalty corner by Krupski.
 
The Rock then took a 2-0 lead early in the second half at 44:25 when Krupski played a centering pass to McKay at the top of the circle which allowed McKay to find the back of the cage for the goal. It was McKay's team-leading 11th goal of the season; she is now tied for third in the PSAC in total points on the year with 26.
 
SRU had the shutout intact until the 63rd minute when MacKenna Mahan received a pass from the right side of The Rock defensive zone and fired a shot into the cage to put BU on the board.
 
Bloomsburg then tied the game at 2-2 with less than two minutes to play in regulation when Sam Peters scored on a pass from Mahan.
 
The Huskies completed the comeback with just 33 seconds to play in regulation when Peters dribbled into the circle and fired a shot that was deflected back to her from a Bream save, after scooping up the loose ball Peters sent another shot at The Rock cage, this one slipping by Bream for what would turn out to be the game-winning goal.

For the game, Bloomsburg held advantages over The Rock in total shots (13-8) and penalty corners (6-3)
 
Slippery Rock is back in action Saturday when it hosts No. 1 East Stroudsburg at 1 p.m. on Senior Day. The Rock will honor the careers of seniors Michelle Couch, Renee Rosenblum, Kayla Klaus and Megan McKay before the game.
