SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Junior forward Sarah Arsenault
(Rome, NY/Rome Free Academy) scored two goals and
assisted on a third Wednesday afternoon to lead Slippery Rock
University to a 4-0 win over visiting Mansfield University in
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference women’s soccer action
on James Egli Field.
The goals were Arsenault’s fourth and fifth of the season,
while the assist was her first.
The Rock, which scored all of its goals in the first half of
action, outshot Mansfield (1-1-1) by a 27-0 margin and had nine
shots on goal en route to its third win in as many games this fall.
Wednesday’s game was the PSAC opener for both teams.
Senior midfielder Annie Manno (Pittsgrove, NJ/Schalick
HS) converted a corner kick from Arsenault into the
game’s first goal nine minutes into action.
Arsenault made it 2-0 when she scored an unassisted goal in the
30th minute.
The Rock got its third and fourth goals in the span of 21 seconds.
Freshman midfielder Meghan McGrath (Vernon, NJ/Vernon
HS) converted an assist from freshman forward Lauren
Steele (Leonardtown, MD/Leonardtown HS) at the 37:01
mark of the first half before Arsenault scored off an assist by
freshman midfielder Nicole Jacobs (Pittsburgh/North Hills
HS) at the 37:22 mark.
The Rock returns to action next Wednesday, Sept. 17, when it will
host PSAC rival Edinboro University in a 4 p.m. game on Egli
Field.
