CALIFORNIA, Pa. – The Slippery Rock University women's soccer team blanked California University of Pennsylvania 3-0 Sunday afternoon in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference play.

At 27:29, Tletski received a through ball from Testa that she deposited into the net to give SRU a 2-0 lead. It was Tletski's third goal of the year.
 
Just before the break in the 40th minute, Testa was on the receiving end of a pass from Madison Thierry that she fired into the net for the score. It was Testa's fourth goal of 2017. SRU took its 3-0 lead into halftime.
 
Slippery Rock almost made it a 4-0 lead at 60:37 when Kaitlyn Barackman sent a shot that went wide left. Testa also put one on target at 75:26, but it also went left.
 
The best chance for California to get on the scoreboard was at 65:10 when Daniela Dell'Aquila sailed one toward the net that Downs was able to save.
 
At 71:54, Kiley Austin headed a ball over the net and SRU was able to hold on for the 3-0 victory.
