SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – A 36th minute goal from Patrick Sullivan gave Slippery Rock a 1-0 home PSAC victory over East Stroudsburg University on Saturday afternoon.

Sullivan's strike, assisted by George Oakley, came from 10 yards out near the center of the box. Slippery Rock (3-6-2, 2-3-2 PSAC) snapped a three-game winless streak, while the Warriors (5-5-1, 3-3-1 PSAC) were shutout for only the second time this season.

Freshman midfielder Marcus Torgersson finished with three shots (2 SOG) to lead ESU, which was outshot 11-8 overall in the contest. Two of those shots came in the second half, and they were the only two managed by the Warriors in the game's final 45 minutes.

ESU earned two corner kicks in the final 10 minutes of play, but the Slippery Rock defense held firm to preserve the shutout.

Sophomore goalie Will Boerema made three stops in goal for the Warriors.

ESU remains on the road for its next contest, as the Warriors conclude a three-game road swing at West Chester at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
