LAST TIME OUT
Slippery Rock took down Gannon University, 3-1, for the first time since 2015 in a key game for The Rock's PSAC Tournament hopes Wednesday at McConnell Family Stadium.

Zwartele scored his fifth goal of the season, while Reynolds grabbed his team-leading sixth goal of the campaign and Roantree found the back of the net for the second time in 2026.
 
Pandher dished out his team-leading seventh assist of the season, as Reynolds and Roantree also had one assist each.

Pandher led Slippery Rock with four shots, while Roantree (3), Reynolds (2) and Lopez Marti (2) also took multiple shots for SRU.

Nine made two saves in goal for The Rock as he picked up his fourth win of the season and the sixth of his career.

The Golden Knights ended the contest with advantages in shots (16-13), saves (5-3) and corner kicks (8-2). Slippery Rock did close out the first 45 minutes with a 12-4 advantage in shots.

BREAKING STREAKS
With its victory Wednesday, The Rock's ended the Golden Knights' 13-game unbeaten streak and was its first victory over a team receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll since the SRU's 2015 PSAC Tournament Championship Game victory over No. 21 Millersville University. Gannon was the third team in the receiving votes section when the national poll was released Tuesday.  

A LOOK INTO THE PSAC WEST STANDINGS
With its victory, as well as California's (Pa.) 2-1 loss versus Seton Hill University Wednesday, Slippery Rock now occupies the fourth and final PSAC Tournament spot from the Western Division in the live standings. Despite the loss, Gannon still tops the PSAC West standings with 19 points, followed by Seton Hill (17) and Lock Haven (13) and in spots two and three, while California (7) and Pitt-Johnstown (1) round out the division.

Gannon and Seton Hill have already clinched a spot in the PSAC Tournament from Western Division, while Millersville, West Chester University and East Stroudsburg University have claimed spots in the conference tournament from the Eastern Division.

Slippery Rock has a chance to clinch its spot in the PSAC Tournament with a win against the Mountain Cats Saturday as well as a California tie/loss at Lock Haven.

The top four teams in each division inside the PSAC will qualify for the PSAC Tournament at the end of the regular season.
