Box Score

A first-half goal from senior Taylor Jones and a late strike from junior Katie Shoop was all the No. 2-ranked Shippensburg University field hockey team needed on Saturday afternoon in a 2-0 shutout at No. 10 Slippery Rock.

The Raiders (13-1, 5-1 PSAC West) led the Rock (6-7, 3-3) in shots, 15-6, with SRU goalkeeper Courtney Lee accounting for five saves. Senior Ciarra Delost earned the start on the other end of the field and made two stops in the shutout victory – her third of the season.

Jones scored the first goal 17 minutes into the contest on a shot off of a corner deflection. The game remained 1-0 until there were 12 minutes left, when Shoop scored off of a turnover for her second goal of the season.

The Raiders return home on Tuesday with a 2 p.m. PSAC West matchup against No. 3 Indiana (Pa.), who dealt SU its first loss of the season on Sept. 19 with a 3-1 home victory.
