The Shippensburg University field hockey team scored once in each half Tuesday and held host Slippery Rock without a shot as it earned a 2-0 conference road victory over The Rock on a sunny afternoon at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium.
 
Shippensburg (5-1, 3-1 PSAC) scored 20 minutes into the match on a penalty stroke taken by sophomore defender Suzanne Muller. It marked the third successful stroke conversion in three career attempts for Muller.                         
 
After neither team posted a shot on goal for the first 26 minutes of the second half, freshman forward Emily Barnard tipped in a rocket blast from the top of the circle by senior Lucy Kauffman for her second goal of the season. Senior Tori Ricker entered the ball off a penalty corner.
 
The Raiders controlled the pace of play, holding Slippery Rock (3-4, 1-2) without a shot for 70 minutes. The Rock managed a lone corner in the first half but got four saves from goalkeeper Carlee DuMars and three defensive saves from their back line.
 
SU finished with a 10-0 margin in shots and a 12-1 margin in penalty corners.
 
The Raiders will next play at 11 a.m. Saturday at Bloomsburg.
