Football Suffers Tough Luck Loss, 24-21, To Fifth-Ranked Slippery Rock

DETROIT — In a much more defensive battle than the last meeting between Wayne State (0-1 overall) and Slippery Rock (1-0 overall), which set the WSU school record for points in a season opener (99 as SRU won 62-37 in 2019), the Warriors drove inside The Rock's five-yard line in the waning seconds but were unable to score the winning touchdown as fifth-ranked Slippery Rock held on for a 24-21 triumph.
