• On the year, Maddy Tletski and Brooke Testa share the team lead with two goals each. Felix, Thornton and Tyler Spence all have one goal to round out SRU's goal scorers.
 
• Miranda Gallucci has a team-high two assists. Lynn Neef, who setup the game-winning goal against Mansfield, Tess Keeley, Dara Demich, Felix and Thornton all have assists as well.
 
• Rock goalkeeper Kylie Downs is 3-2 with two shutouts, a 0.54 goals against average and a .833 save percentage. Downs ranks third in the PSAC in goals against average and seventh in save percentage.

• SRU has now gone seven consecutive games without allowing more than one goal; the last team to score more than once against The Rock was Notre Dame College in the season-opener. The school record for consecutive games of holding opponents to one goal or less is 17 in 2011.
 
• Tletski, Testa, Thornton and Haley Burkholder are the only four Rock players to have started every game this season. Burkholder has started 46 straight games at SRU. Testa's eight shots on goal are a team-high.

SCOUTING GANNON
• Last Time Out: Gannon defeated Millersville, 1-0, behind an early Taylor Lewis goal.
 
• Much like Slippery Rock, Gannon appears to be hitting its stride with two straight league victories over Millersville and Indiana (Pa.) in its last two official matches; Gannon played Lock Haven between the Millersville and IUP games, but the contest was stopped just eight minutes in due to inclement weather.
 
• Lewis (four) and Nicole Felice (three) have scored seven of Gannon's 10 goals this season. Kelsey O'Connor, Hannah Manczka and Courtney Edwards all have one goal as well for the Golden Knights.
 
• Goalkeeper Shannon Differ has started four games for the Golden Knights and is 3-1 with 25 saves (.781) and a 1.95 goals against average. She is 1-1 against Slippery Rock all-time with six saves and three goals allowed.
