SLIPPERY ROCK NOTES
Last Time Out: Slippery Rock matched its second-highest scoring output of the season in a 3-2 victory against Mercyhurst on Oct. 22.
 
• With three games remaining in the season SRU can either secure its second-highest win total in the last five years if it wins out or tie its second-highest win total with two wins.
 
• The Rock's win against Mercyhurst saw Courtney Page and Madison Posivak score goals in the second quarter with Jessie Trube supplying the game-winner with just 1:25 remaining in regulation.
 
• Trube, who leads SRU in total points this season with 16 (seven goals / two assists), has scored three goals in three of The Rock's last five games. Trube's three game-winning goals this season are tied for the second most in a single-season in SRU history. The program record for game-winning goals in a season is four set by Allison Shade (2012) and Megan McKay (2015).
 
• Ulrich is second for SRU in both points (10), goals (four) and assists (two).
 
• Page's goal against Mercyhurst gave her three goals on the season, matching her previous career-high set as a sophomore a season ago. Page, who also has two assists in 2019, ranks third on the team in total points with eight. She is the only active Rock player to have scored a goal against Bloomsburg during her career.
 
• In addition to scoring two goals this year, freshman Addy Ross leads SRU with three assists. Emily Polakovsky is The Rock's other multi-goal scorer with a pair of strikes this season.
 
• Posivak, Lauren Marks and Abby McKay round out The Rock's leading scorers with one goal each.
 
• Holly Stiller has made four of SRU's 10 defensive saves this season. She currently ranks third in the PSAC, and sixth in the nation, in the category. Jordan Barnes and Kalie Reed both have two defensive saves as well while Lacy Bayley and Brenna McGovern-Lind have one apiece.
 
• Goalkeeper Hannah Nurse has started 10 straight games and enters the weekend with a 3-7 overall record, 73 saves, a .737 save percentage and a 3.27 goals against average. She ranks second in the PSAC in total saves.
 
• Fellow goalkeeper Maddie Murphy has started five games as well, going 1-4 with 35 saves, a .729 save percentage and a 2.61 goals against average.
 
• The second and third quarters of games have proven troublesome for The Rock this year as SRU has surrendered 25 of its 40 goals allowed in 2019 during the middle portion of games.
 
• Eight Rock players (Ulrich, Page, Polakovsky, McKay, Reed, Bayley, Stiller and Barnes) have started all 14 games this season. If that number holds through the end of the year it would mark the first time since 2012, and just the second time in the last 13 years overall, that eight position players (non-goalies) have started every game in a season.
 
RECORDS WATCH
• Ulrich ranks second in program history for points in a career with 52 and third in career goals with 23. While she is still 29 points away from catching Megan McKay (2013-16) for The Rock's career points record, Ulrich only needs three goals to pass Marlene Hall (1985-88) for second place on SRU career goal ledger.
 
• Ulrich and Page are part of a six-way tie for 14th place in program history for assists in a career at six each.
 
• Murphy currently ranks third for Slippery Rock in career wins (12), fourth in career goals against average (2.16), fourth in saves (190) and fifth in save percentage (.736).
