Two SRU students earn awards

Football- Sunday, Brandon Burley was named PSAC Western Division Defensive Player of the Week. This redshirt sophmore has only made two career starts at the corner position. He made a key part in slippery rock's win over IUP 20-6 Saturday night.  Burley finished the game with two interceptions for a combined 69 yards and one touchdown, a pass breakup and three tackles
Tennis- Senior,  Sarah Lynch earned regional runner up honor. She was no.6 seed in the tournament where she won five matches, including upsets of two higher seeded players. The rock tennis team returns to the courts Oct. 8-9 for duels with Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference rivals Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg and Shippensburg in Bloomsburg.

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!
