The Rockets marched 72 yards on the game's opening drive, with Pilosi scoring on a 40-yard run.

By the time the half was over, he had connected with Kaleb Kamerer on a 50-yard scoring strike and ran for another score from 33 yards.

David Duffalo's 39-yard touchdown run helped Slippery Rock (5-2, 1-2) go up by four scores at the break.

Intermission did not slow down the Rockets. On the first play of the second half, Nathan Hyatt hauled in a 78-yard touchdown pass from Pilosi.

The signal caller later scored the Rockets' final touchdown on a 47-yard run.

Slippery Rock hosts Hickory next Friday.
