PLAYOFF BOUND FOR THIRD TIME EVER

The Rock brought lacrosse back as a varsity sport at the Division II level in 2007 and made their first PSAC Tournament in 2017. SRU is still looking for its first postseason win since bringing the sport back and owns an 0-2 record in PSAC Tournament games with losses in both 2017 and 2018.  The Rock are hosting their first-ever playoff game after being on the road in both 2017 and 2018.
 
ALREADY SET THE RECORD FOR PROGRAM WINS
Slippery Rock's 14 wins this spring are the most in a single-season in program history, topping the 13 wins by the 2018 team for the program record.
 
RECORDS FALL IN REGULAR SEASON FINALE
Slippery Rock saw a handful of records fall in last week's game at Mercyhurst. Charleigh Rondeau broke her own single-game record with 21 draw controls to extend her single-season record to 169 and her career record to 529. Gillian O'Rourke set the single-season record for wins by a goalie (14) and set the SRU career record for ground balls (167). Camryn Whipple set the single-season record for assists (40).
 
THIRD STRAIGHT 10-WIN SEASON
Slippery Rock has won at least 10 games for the third year in a row after winning 10 games in both 2022 and 2023, marking the eighth 10-win season in program history. Head coach Taryn Burkholder becomes the first coach in program history to win at least 10 games in three different seasons and is guaranteed to go three-for-three in leading SRU to winning seasons in her first three years on the job.
 
RICHESON SHINES AGAINST LOCK HAVEN
Freshman attacker Reagan Richeson played her first meaningful minutes of the season in the comeback win at Lock Haven earlier this year, scoring four goals and helping lead SRU to the win. She then tallied a career-high six goals in the home win over Lock Haven and enters this game with 10 goals against the Bald Eagles in two games this year.
 
SEARLES COMING ON STRONG
Attacker Lauren Searles has at least three points in each of her last nine games and has soared to a new career-high with 59 points on 42 goals and 17 assists this year. She had 12 points in two games last week, including eight in a win at Mercyhurst to close the regular season.
 
RONDEAU IN THE DRAW CIRCLE
Charleigh Rondeau owns the SRU single-game (21), single-season (169) and career (529) records for draw controls. She became the first player in SRU history to reach 400 career draw controls earlier this season and then became the first player to hit 500 as well. She now has 169 draws on the season, which is 73 more than any other player in the PSAC. Her 529 draw controls rank third among all active women's lacrosse players at any level of the NCAA, trailing only Brittney White from Division II Lee (584) and Caroline Wise from Division III Ithaca (564). This spring, she ranks first among all players in Division II with an average of 9.94 draw controls per game.
 
RONDEAU STANDS ALONE AT SRU
Charleigh Rondeau is one of just five players in program history with at least 100 draw controls, 100 points, 100 ground balls, 60 goals, 50 caused turnovers and 30 assists (Amy Halls, Casey Quinn, Katie Roof, ShyAnne Toomer). Of those other four, Rondeau is the only one with at least 200 draw controls.
 
WHIPPLE MOVING UP RECORD BOOK
Senior attacker Camryn Whipple has racked up 70 points on 30 goals and 40 assists this spring, which is a new career-high for her and ranks third all-time at SRU. The 40 assists broke Emily Benham's former single-season record (37). She became the fourth player in program history to reach 60 career assists and now has 66 over the last three seasons to rank No. 2 all-time, trailing Emma VanDenburg (74) by 8 for the all-time career record. Her 70 points this spring are one point shy of tying for the No. 2 in single-season history at SRU.
 
TRIO OF SENIORS MOVING UP SCORING LEDGER
Seniors Camryn Whipple, Lauren Searles and Charleigh Rondeau are all in the top 20 all-time scorers in program history entering this game and all reached the 100-point milestone this spring.
