Season Outlook


The Slippery Rock Women's Basketball team looks to build off an 11 and 16 record they had just one year ago. With a veteran squad and some fresh new faces, the Rock is looking to give their PSAC opponents a run for their money this year. 

Last Season, the Rock began a new era of basketball under first year head coach Bobby McGraw. As head coach he led the team to a berth into the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Tournament, which was the first tournament berth for the women's basketball team in 10 years. The team improved on its record and doubled the amount of conference wins from the year before.

Slippery Rock picked up 7 conference wins last year with the first coming early in the season on December 3rd against Edinboro University, the 2014 PSAC women's basketball champions. However, the Rock lost some close games to Millersville, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mercyhurst, Seton Hill, California University of Pennsylvania, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Those seven games were all within reaching distance for the Rock before time slipped away from them.

Although the Rock did not have a winning record last year, they took a step in the right direction for the new era and have high hopes for the season right in front of them.
