GREENSBURG, Pa. – The Slippery Rock University women's soccer team dropped a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference road match Wednesday at Seton Hill University, 2-1. Jordyn Minda scored SRU's lone goal on an assist from Reagan Reeves.
 
Following a goal from Seton Hill just one minute and forty-six seconds in, Minda got free in the ninth minute and received a thru ball behind the defense from Reeves that she finished into the back of the net to tie the game, 1-1.
 
Slippery Rock nearly took the lead in the closing minutes of the first period when Julianna Esposito fired a header on target, but Seton Hill goalkeeper, Jessica Neill made the save.
 
After the break, the Griffins took the advantage at 56:21 when Italia Biondi was fed a thru ball from Melanie Renda that she deposited past Rock goalkeeper, Kylie Downs for the score.
 
SRU's only recorded shot in the second period occurred prior to the Seton Hill second goal. The Rock did, however, tally a corner in the 87th minute, but were unable to capitalize and SHU held on for the victory, 2-1.
 
Slippery Rock falls to 6-2-2 overall and 4-2-2 in league games while the Griffins improve to 7-2-0 and 6-2-0 in PSAC play.
