2008 Woodie Awards
View this section's front page!As the September temperatures continue to get hotter, so does the SRU women's soccer team. The Rock continued its brilliant start to the season, knocking off Shippensburg, Clarion and nationally ranked Edinboro to move to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-West play.
The Rock opened the 2007 season with a bang, taking out Seton Hill last Thursday, 51-24. Their opponent this week will be the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-East foe Millersville Marauders, who were embarrassed by nationally ranked Shepherd, 36-7, in their season opener two weeks ago.
If the first two minutes of play were any indication of how the game would end, it looked as though the Slippery Rock men's soccer team was going to dominate Salem International University at Bob DiSpirito Field on Wednesday afternoon. As it turns out, the first two minutes would in fact predict the rest of the non-conference match, as the Rock defeated Salem 6-0, bringing their overall record to 2-2-1.
The Rock volleyball team hopes that the old saying "slow and steady wins the race" holds true as they prepare for their upcoming Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-West schedule. That is because Head Coach Laurie Lokash's squad has 11 freshmen, including both setters.
SRU's cross country teams came away victorious on Saturday in both the men's and women's competition. The 11th ranked men were 18-41 winners over 25th ranked Alaska-Anchorage, while the No. 15 women took home a 23-56 win. Coach John Papa was extremely pleased with the way his team competed.
After only three games, Slippery Rock's field hockey team has already been involved in a shootout. Not the pistols-at-dawn kind of shootout, but the kind that comes after 100 minutes of intense action, A win-or-go-home, sudden death shootout, which decided the fate of a game.
