Preseason Preview Against Neumann University



For the third and final game of the weekend, Slippery Rock University will attempt to take down Neumann University.

These two clubs only have a three game history. In this three game history, Slippery rock has won all three games.

In these three games, Slippery Rock has put up an impressive 26 goals why Neumann has only posted 6 six goals.

Rumor has it that Neumann has recruited after last season. Their Division 1 team was the runner up in the National Championship, so they're looking to have their Division 3 have similar success this year. So while Slippery Rock looks to stay undefeated against Neumann, they're not gonna make it easy this year.

PRESEASON



Coming up this weekend is the first action of the season for Slippery Rock Universities D3 Inline Hockey Team. IT'S PRESEASON WEEKEND! This means exhibition games before the start of the regular season. These games do not count towards the teams regular season record.

Preseason is the time where you work on playing your game and doing so effectively. This is the time to get the kinks and bugs worked out of your teams systems. These games are where you make your first impression on the other teams and try to make a statement showing that you're there to compete.

Not only is this the time to work on all the aspects of your game, it's a time to just have fun and enjoy playing since the games don't go towards your season record. Mistakes are meant to be made in preseason so it's all about finding out what needs to be worked on and having fun while doing so.
