SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Junior forward Sarah Arsenault (Rome, NY/Rome Free Academy) and freshman midfielder Meghan McGrath (Vernon, NJ/Vernon HS) had a goal each and continued their torrid scoring pace Wednesday in leading Slippery Rock University to a 2-0 win over visiting Edinboro University in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference women’s soccer action on James Egli Field.

The win was the fourth in as many games this fall and second in PSAC play for SRU. Edinboro dropped to 5-3, 1-1.

McGrath scored her fifth goal of the season when she put home an unassisted tally with 25:49 gone in the first half.

Arsenault added an insurance score when she recorded her sixth goal of the season off an assist from sophomore midfielder Emily Winterich (Brownstown/Conestoga Valley HS) at the 62:52 mark.

Sophomore goalie Amanda Wier (Bethlehem/Fairfield, [Conn]. HS) recorded four saves en route to chalking up her second straight shutout.

The Rock returns to action on Saturday when it travels to PSAC rival Lock Haven for a 2:30 p.m. match.

SRU will host St. Vincent next Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 4 p.m. in its next home match.
