Slippery Rock, Pa. – The Mercyhurst College field hockey team rolled to its third straight victory with a 2-0 shutout of Slippery Rock Wednesday afternoon at N. Kerr Thompson Stadium.

In their second shutout of The Rock this season, the Lakers (9-8, 4-3 PSAC West) moved one game over .500 for the first time since the start of 2006 and helped several team members set new records.

For head coach Stacey Gaudette, the win marks her 46th career at Mercyhurst, surpassing former head coach Kevin Cooke (1998-02; 45-39-1) by one for all-time wins as the Lakers' skipper.

Junior Emily Warren continued her trek deeper into the scoring records with a goal and an assist. Her goal, which came as an insurance marker midway through the first half, moves her into a tie with Jenna Hartman (1999-02) for third place all-time for goals scored in a season (14). It also locks her in a third place draw with Sarah D'Emilio (1999-02) for goals scored in a career (27).

Senior Jen Macri notched her third career shutout with three saves to tie with Lindsay Christopher (1997-99) for third for doughnuts in a career.

The Lakers continued their winning ways thanks to two goals in the first half. Sophomore Sara Wowkowych netted her second game-winning score of the season when she connected off a pass from Warren at 3:35. Warren later provided the insurance with her 14th of the season at 15:35. Junior Megan Rasmussen was accredited with the assist on the play.

Mercyhurst finished the game with a 13-4 edge in shots, and held the advantage in penalty corners, 8-1.
