After the league title, Slippery Rock went on to eliminate No. 24 Edinboro and No. 16 California University of Pennsylvania from the NCAA Division Tournament in the first and second rounds. Slippery Rock will play in the Round of 16 for the second consecutive year when it travels to West Chester on Friday.
