SLIPPERY
ROCK, Pa. –Slippery Rock
University’s football team will conclude its spring workouts
on Saturday, April 26, with an 11 a.m. intrasquad scrimmage at

the team’s offensive and defensive units and is scheduled to
include four quarters of action.
Rock
head coach Dr. George Mihalik has six offensive starters,
six defensive starters and one kicking specialist returning from
his 2002 team. The Rock had a 7-4 record last fall to record its 12
successive winning season – the longest active streak in the
14-team Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
Among the returning
