Both of these award are big accomplishments for our student athletes. It is nice to see both men and womens sports here at the rock excelling and accomplishing big things. Congratulations to both athletes whose hard work and determination has payed off greatly. Keep up the hard work!

Rock Volleyball Undefeated

I recently just posted about our girl's soccer team dominating. I'm happy to be able to post about yet another Rock athletic program excelling. Rock volleyball defeated shephard and west virginia state to put their record to 9-0. taking their record to 9-0 broke a school record. No team has ever won 9 consecutive matches in a row. After breaking the record the fire kept going they kept their undefeated record going after beating Alderson-Broaddus.
The girl's volleyball also had a PSAC player of the week Kristy Lake who is a freshman this year. The team is on fire and dominating everyone in their path. Congratulations to the girls team and the PSAC player of the week for the accomplishments they have recieved so far.

Women's soccer team ties 2nd ranked team West Chester

Saturday our women's soccer team who is ranked 22nd tied 2nd ranked West chester after a double overtime draw. West Chester seemed to have the game after scoring a goal in the 67th minute but Slippery rock was not backing down. with just 36 seconds remaining they tied the game up. Our girl's team has always been very competitive but to tie the 2nd ranked team in the country is an impressive accomplishment. This shows all of their hard work and dedication during season and even during the off season.
Hopefully our girls keep this fire going and continue their winning season. If you can make sure to get our and support all of our athletic teams.
