State System women meet for annual conference

By KATIE MEST News Editor K.A.Mest@iup.edu

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) Women’s Consortium meets at 2 p.m. Friday in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building (HSS) for the beginning of its two-day annual conference.

Established in 1980, the Consortium is a non-profit professional network of women, made up of administrators, faculty, staff and students from the 14 universities in PASSHE, that comes together to act on behalf of women in higher education.

This year, IUP will host the conference for the first time since 2006. The conference rotates among the schools in the state system; last year it was held at Kutztown University.

Melissa Swauger, the IUP delegate, volunteered IUP to host

(PASSHE Women’s Consortium website) The PASSHE Women’s Consortium was established in 1980.

the event since it aligned with the university’s recent campus climate study.

Swauger was one of the lead investigators on the campus climate study, organizing focus

groups and writing the qualitative portion of the study that came out last year with professor Melanie Hildebrandt.

Swauger got involved in women’s studies and is chair of

the President’s Commission on the Status of Women. “‘Intersectionality’ is the theme,” said Swauger, associate professor in the sociology department. “The sub-theme is ‘We are stronger together.’

“We want to know that we can make institutional change so that all groups feel welcome and safe.”

The conference has three sessions for keynote speakers, the first being a panel with Michelle Sandhoff, Kristy Trautmann, Kathi Elliot and Shamsa Anwar.

Each works in a non-profit organization that interacts with women and girls of different backgrounds.

They will discuss how they do intersectionality in their practices and lives.

The second panel will talk about “the importance of intersectionality” in the university setting.

The last keynote speaker addresses why women should ask for what they want.

Ayana Ledford, the executive director of the Program for Research and Outreach on Gender Equity in Society and director for Diversity and Inclusion at Carnegie Mellon University, will lead the discussion, giving women tools to use in speaking up for themselves.

On Friday and Saturday, members are invited to concurrent sessions for workshops that will help them develop leadership skills, especially in a male-dominated world.

The conference has 105 speakers and expects more than 150 participants.

The Consortium meets with the PASSHE Chancellor regularly to identify, address and monitor the concerns of women from across 14 campuses, according to the PASSHE Women’s Consortium website.

The website also emphasizes that the Consortium is open to all genders, races, ethnicities, ages and sexual orientations.

Campus promotes sexual assualt awareness after statistics rise

By KIRSTEN SCHLORFF Contributing Writer K.B.Schlorff@iup.edu

One in every five female college students is sexually assaulted, yet less than five percent of these sex crimes are reported nationwide.

Even at IUP, only 10 sex crimes were reported both on and off campus in 2015, according to the Annual Security Report released in October 2016.

These statistics of sexual assault on college campuses explain why Dr. Christine Black, assistant professor of health and physical education, educates students about consent and promotes sexual assault awareness.

“Consent needs to be completed before alcohol becomes involved,” Black said. “Alcohol is likely to be involved in 80 to 90 percent of sexual assault cases.”

Sexual activity consent cannot be obtained from someone who

is asleep or mentally or physically incapacitated due to alcohol or drugs.

In Pennsylvania, sexual assault is defined as a person engaging in sexual intercourse or deviant sexual intercourse with a partner without his or her consent.

Rape occurs when a person engages in sexual intercourse with a person by forcible compulsion or the threat of forcible compulsion

that would prevent resistance by a person of reasonable resolution.

“Most reported sexual assaults occur between acquaintances rather than strangers,” Black said.

“Watch your drinks at parties, look out for each other and don’t get separated from your friends.”

Initiatives to progress and fund sexual assault violence education on college campuses have recently been reevaluated by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Following DeVos’ move to undercut campus sexual assault protections, Sen. Bob Casey, D – Pa., said, “This decision to revisit existing campus sexual assault protections is an insult to survivors of sexual assault.”

“I passed into law the Campus SaVE Act and worked with the Obama Administration on new campus sexual assault protections to provide a basic measure of security for victims and accountability for perpetrators,” Casey said.

“Secretary DeVos has made the

September 29, 2017

work of holding violent perpetrators accountable more difficult, thus robbing victims of campus sexual assault of the justice they deserve.”

Less than five percent of sex crimes are reported.

Devos’ statement will not impact the work of the Haven Project, as it will continue to offer support and counseling to victims and survivors, said Susan Graham, the Haven Project’s Sexual Violence Prevention Educator.

Many IUP student peer educators advocate for the Haven Project, which offers support to victims of interpersonal violence (sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking).

Students interested in volunteering for the IUP Haven Project may send an email to haven-project@iup.edu.

“Once we receive an email, the student’s name is added to our volunteer list and they will receive approximately two emails per month regarding events where they may volunteer,” Graham said.

If students attend the trainings offered at the end of every month, they will be able to staff the Haven Project information tables with the peer educators, handing out information to the campus community.

“Students who are willing to get involved and promote awareness of sexual assault send a more effective message to other students on college campuses,” Black said.

Local resources and shelters for victims include the Counseling Center, the Alice Paul House, Indiana Regional Medical Center and Indiana Borough or Pennsylvania State Police.

Officials press Trump administration on response to Maria

Police Blotter

By ALEX DAUGHERTY and

FRANCO ORDONEZ

McClatchy Washington Bureau TNS

Republicans and Democrats have a clear message for President Donald Trump: Puerto Rico is now a humanitarian crisis.

Large portions of the U.S. territory are without power and basic services one week after Hurricane Maria swept over the island as a Category 4 hurricane.

Politicians who have spent time on the ground in Puerto Rico since the storm, like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New York Rep. Nydia Velazquez, are urging the Trump administration to take every action available to help more than 3 million U.S. citizens.

“Our conventional method to respond to a storm requires the federal government to kind of plug in with the existing emergency response ... and work through them to distribute aid,” Rubio said. “That model probably won’t work as well, in fact I don’t think it will work on the situation in Puerto Rico.”

Rubio said it takes five days for supplies to reach Puerto Rico by barge from Miami and seven days from Jacksonville, Fla., making it tough to get much-needed medical supplies and aid there quickly.

Puerto Rico is 1,000 miles from Miami, while countries like the Dominican Republic and Jamaica are closer.

Trump said the situation in Puerto Rico is serious and that there isn’t an easy solution.

“That place was just destroyed,” Trump said Wednesday.

“That’s not a question of ‘Gee, let’s dry up the water. Let’s do this or that.’ That is a really tough situation. I feel so badly for those people.”

But the Trump administration has not waived a U.S. law that would allow foreign vessels to assist in Puerto Rico’s relief effort. The Jones Act, a law that requires the delivery of goods between U.S. ports to be done by U.S.-owned and -operated ships, was waived in Texas after Hurricane Harvey and in Florida after Hurricane Irma to allow for more efficient fuel delivery.

“That is critical, particularly for fuel,” Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello said to CNN, adding that

Trespass • Alleek Thomas, 23, of Indiana, was charged with defiant trespass after reportedly being inside a building he was told multiple times he could not be in at 3:10 p.m. Sept. 20 in the 600 block of Philadelphia Street, according to the Indiana Borough Police Department.

Noise • Kyle Quinn, 22, of Drexel Hill, was cited for violating the borough code for noise after reportedly hosting a large party at 3:25 p.m.

Sept. 23 at 847 Wayne Ave., according to borough police.

(TNS) Florida governor Rick Scott thanked volunteers who were assisting with the relief effort for Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria during a visit to the Osceola County Services warehouse Wednesday.

he expects the Trump administration to eventually waive the law.

“One of the considerations right now is the priority of getting fuel, diesel, gasoline, all across the island. Right now we have enough fuel. We’re limited by the transportation logistics, but at some point, of course, getting fuel into the island is going to be critical so that we can have the major functions of telecoms, hospitals, water, to be running appropriately.”

Trump said he’s thinking about rescinding the Jones Act in Puerto Rico, but he will take into consideration the interests of the U.S. shipping industry.

“We’re thinking about that, but we have a lot of shippers and a lot of people who work in the shipping industry who don’t want the Jones Act lifted,” Trump said.

“And we have a lot of ships out there right now.”

The Department of Homeland Security, under pressure from lawmakers like Velazquez and Arizona Sen. John McCain to waive the act, said it is not “legally allowed to waive the Jones Act to make goods cheaper.”

DHS officials, who declined to speak on the record, said that the Jones Act is waived “in the interest of national defense” and that the Department of Defense usually makes the recommendation based on requests from U.S. shipping interests.

Velazquez, along with three other Puerto Rican members of Congress, submitted a request to waive the act on Monday. DHS officials said the request from Congress was “not normal” but that it was being evaluated. The officials declined to say when they would

make a decision on the request, but said it is “unlikely” a decision would come on Wednesday.

“The challenge remains that if we have a barge leaving tomorrow with a significant amount of aid on it, it will not be there for five to six days,” Rubio said. “Every day that goes by in some of these areas that do not have electricity or communications, the situation grows graver.”

Yet DHS officials downplayed the need for additional vessels in Puerto Rico, arguing that the biggest challenge facing the island is distributing goods from San Juan to outlying areas.

“The most significant challenges facing Puerto Rico today is travel within the island, not getting goods to the island,” a DHS official said. “The real challenges happen on the island itself.”

Rubio said the territory’s existing damage from Hurricane Irma before Maria hit the island, combined with an ongoing fiscal crisis that rendered Puerto Rico’s power utility essentially bankrupt earlier this year, makes it harder to restore basic services.

“The emergency issue before us today is not money in the next 24 to 48 hours,” Rubio said. “The emergency issue today is capacity to deliver and distribute aid to the places that need it the most in Puerto Rico.”

Rubio is in favor of waiving the Jones Act, but stressed that loosening maritime law won’t solely solve Puerto Rico’s logistical problems.

“There are still a lot of logistical challenges in Puerto Rico,” Rubio said. “I hope we don’t see Katrinalike images.”

False Identification • Richard Rivera, 33, of Indiana, was charged with false identification to law enforcement officials after giving false information concerning his identity at 4 p.m. Sept. 23 at 800 Wayne Ave., according to borough police.

Theft • Myles Marino, 18, of Canonsburg, was charged with retail theft and underage drinking at 9:14 p.m. Sept. 23 at Sheetz, 768 Wayne Ave., according to borough police.

First group of refugees heads from Pacific camps to US

By KURTIS LEE Los Angeles Times TNS

The first refugees accepted under a contentious agreement with Australia are headed to the United States, months after President Donald Trump assailed the deal as “dumb” and not in the country’s best interests.

Fifty-four asylum-seeking refugees left Pacific island camps this week where Australia had housed them for several years. Twenty-five refugees came from an all-male camp in Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island, while the other 27 refugees came from a camp on the island of Nauru, according to a U.S. State Department official.

Some advocacy groups have said the refugees are set to settle in cities from Los Angeles to Atlanta.

The resettlement of the refugees, mostly men from countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Somalia, is part of a deal forged between the U.S. and Australia under the Obama administration.

Under the agreement, about 1,250 refugees who have been refused entry to Australia, and who are now housed in offshore detention centers, will be accepted by the U.S. In exchange, Australia, will accept Honduran and Salvadoran refugees under a U.S.-led resettlement program from a camp in Costa Rica.

Shortly after his inauguration, Trump tweeted he would “study this dumb deal,” raising concerns that he might nix it. And in his first conversation with Australian

er We off ester m one-se ses! lea

(TNS) Protesters at Town Hall Square gathered Feb. 8, 2016, to demonstrate against offshore detention of asylum seekers in Sydney.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Trump heatedly accused Australia of trying to export the next Boston Marathon bombers to America.

“Does anybody know who these people are? Who are they?

Where do they come from?” he said, according to transcripts of the call obtained by The Washington Post. “Are they going to become the Boston bomber in five years? Or two years? Who are these people?”

Trump added, “We are like a dumping ground for the rest of the world. I have been here for a period of time, I just want this to stop. I look so foolish doing this.”

Since his inauguration Trump has signed several executive

orders barring entry to travelers from several majority Muslim countries. On Sunday, Trump announced a new ban on travel to the U.S. by nationals from majority Muslim countries as well as North Korea and Venezuela.

Ian Rintoul, a spokesman for the Refugee Action Coalition, which is based in Sydney, said the arrival of the refugees associated with the Australia agreement is a positive.

“But the movement of just 50 people, shows the level of uncertainty that surrounds the deal with the USA,” he said.

“It has been 10 months since the refugees had their first interviews, and there is no indication of

when any more refugees who have applied will be accepted into the U.S.,” he said.

Rintoul said the Australian government should remove the remaining refugees from the island encampments.

“The refugees on Manus and Nauru remain the responsibility of the Australian government,” he said. “The government should make sure that no one is left behind. All the people on Manus and Nauru should be brought to the mainland while the government makes arrangements for those who want to go to the USA.” Many of the asylum seekers have reportedly endured harsh treatment in the refugee camps.

Cases of depression and self-harm are high, according to reports that have been leaked from the centers.

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch published a report last year which found that Australia inflicted suffering on refugees and asylum seekers “in what appears to be a deliberate policy to deter further asylum seekers from arriving in the country by boat.”

In May, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said that prolonged detention on the islands was “immensely harmful” and called for refugees and asylum seekers to be moved and treated humanely.

EDITORIAL

Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico Sept. 20, causing massive damage to the island’s citizens and their way of life. A little more than a week later, millions of residents are still without food, fuel, water and other necessities.

To provide some perspective, about half of Puerto Ricans were without running water as of Wednesday, according to a CNN article.

You may be wondering: What’s taking so long to help these people?

For one thing, many people don’t even realize that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens. Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory since the U.S. defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War in 1898. By birth, Puerto Ricans are American citizens and are able to travel freely between the island and other U.S. states.

However, Puerto Rico itself is not considered one of the 50 U.S. states.

According to a Tuesday article in The New York Times, a poll of 2,200 adults by Morning Consult found that only 54 percent of Americans know that people born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens, including just 37 percent of people ages 18 to 29.

This matters because American citizens who are aware that Puerto Rico is U.S. territory are much more likely to support aid for the island.

According to the poll, more than eight in 10 Americans who know Puerto Ricans are citizens support aid, compared

to the support of only four in 10 from those who don’t know.

After several days of hesitation, the Trump administration announced Thursday morning that the Jones Act, which limits shipping between U.S. coasts and U.S.-flagged vessels, would be waived in order to begin sending aid to Puerto Rico.

A few weeks ago, the administration waived the Jones Act to provide relief to Texas and Florida just days after

Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma hit.

It took more than a week for the act to be waived for the citizens of Puerto Rico, and that delay could be costly – even deadly.

According to a Wednesday article from CityLab, suspending the Jones Act “requires someone in the leadership to spend some political capital. That the Trump administration initially declined to do so on behalf of Puerto Rico underscores how the political gulf between the island territory and the rest of America is an obstacle to its recovery.”

These recent events have experts and policymakers debating if granting Puerto Rico statehood would help solve some of these ongoing issues and save lives.

“The only way to fix, long-term, the situation in Puerto Rico is through statehood,” said Jose Fuentes, chairman of the Puerto Rico Statehood Council. “After 100 years of being U.S. citizens, fighting in every war since 1917, basically Congress turning us into the equal of a state without funding, it’s time for Congress to act.”

Fuentes has a strong point. These Puerto Ricans – fellow American citizens – have been through unimaginable circumstances.

And some of us haven’t even noticed. It’s time for these people to be treated the same as the rest of America.

While the name Kevin Stiffler may not strike any chords for much of IUP, many local musicians know Stiffler has been an advocate and ally to them in the pursuit of their music.

For many years, Stiffler has photographed and covered much of the area’s local musical acts, including some of Indiana’s most famous rock alumni.

After a fire in Stiffler’s apartment caused serious damage to his photo equipment, among

other belongings, several of the musicians whom he covered decided to host a benefit concert in his honor in an effort to raise money to offset some of the costs of the fire.

The “Rock n Photo: Artists Helping Artists” concert will take place from 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday at Levity Brewing Co. The concert will feature performances by two local bands, The Six and The Wooly Coats.

Both bands will feature members of the Pittsburgh rock scene including several notable Indiana music alumni, such as members of the Clarks and Rusted Root.

The Wooly Coats’ members are Jay Wiley from The Hawkeyes, Dave Minarik from The Clarks, Rob James from The Clarks, Noah Minarik and Jeff Wiley.

The Six’s members are Rob James from The Clarks, Greg Joseph from The Clarks, Chuck Olson, Jim Donovan from Sun King Warriors and Rusted Root, Dan Murphy from Sun King Warriors and Remaining Green and Dave Antolik from Remaining Green.

Levity event coordinator Ted Pivetz said the plan is to host the concert outside, but accommodations have been made to move the show indoors if the weather

does not cooperate.

While the concert is free, the brewery is selling 100 tickets for $10 each as a fundraiser for Stiffler.

Ticket-holders are guaranteed a spot at the concert if it’s moved indoors and a free beer from the brewery for those of age.

In addition to the music, the brewery will be projecting some of Stiffler’s work inside the building and outside near the concert stage. A raffle for items provided by the night’s performers will also be held, and donations will be accepted throughout the night.

Pivetz said the concert is especially exciting for several reasons.

“We are thrilled to have [The Clarks] because The Clarks are essentially IUP’s home band,” Pivetz said, “and them and guys like Jim Donovan of Rusted Root have played with big names in the rock industry all over the country. And for us to have these artists come and donate their time and do all of this for free – especially when they don’t play in Indiana very much anymore – is really exciting and a cool opportunity for us.”

To ensure a spot at the concert, tickets can be purchased in advance in person from Chuck Olson at Levity, or by calling Levity at 724-840-7611.

Oktoberfest brings community together with beer

(The Penn archives)

(Facebook) Oktoberfest originated in Germany.

By PAUL SHALOKA Staff Writer P.Shaloka@iup.edu

This Saturday, a 206-year-old German folk tradition will sprout up along Philadelphia Street.

The S&T Bank Oktoberfest will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday in the Old Borough Building Parking Lot, located at 39 N. Seventh St.

General admission tickets to the event will cost $35 and will allow visitors to sample a variety of beers for three hours.

More than 20 local breweries will appear at the event, including Otto’s Brewing Co. and Coal Country Brewing.

Special VIP tickets are $60 and include a T-shirt, an extra hour of sampling and some exclusive brews.

Large quantities of uniquely

brewed IPA’s and specialty beers will help contribute to the heady atmosphere of the event.

Many people are excited for this event.

“I barely ever want to leave my house to go to class,” Mitch McCoulogh (senior, business) said, “but I will make it out to this thing, for sure.”

The S&T Bank Oktoberfest is being spearheaded by Downtown Indiana, an organization that looks

to promote the economic and cultural development of the town. Its next big project is the creation of the so-called “Indiana Downtown Improvement Area (IDIA).”

According to its website, the IDIA will “act as a resource development tool that allows property owners the opportunity to take revitalization efforts into their own hands and ensure ongoing support.”

Fairs and downtown events do

something more than provide fun diversions for residents and college students – they also generate funding for businesses and help breathe life back into the community.

It is not a long-term solution, but encouraging interaction between residents and local small businesses, like the brewing companies that will attend Oktoberfest, can only be positive for the town.

MTV sends millennials back in time with new show ‘90’s House’

By FRANK LOVECE Newsday TNS

The castaways of "Gilligan's Island" had "no phone, no lights, no motor car," as the themesong lyrics put it. And for the castaways in California for MTV's "90's House," which premiered Tuesday at 11 p.m., the retro abode in which they live has no smartphone, no LED lights and no electric car. Also no laptops, no internet, and no Spanx.

"More like the early '90s," amends Will Wagner, 27, born in Lindenhurst, N.Y., and raised mainly in Bellmore, where he still lives. The internet only began reaching critical mass among the public in the mid-1990s, changing everything, but before then, as he notes, things were still basically "CD players and boomboxes and cassettes. We had a big shelf of VHS tapes."

Clearly, for them, living in "90's House" was dope ... the bomb ... all that and a bag of chips.

Wagner not only loves the

(Facebook) “90’s House” premiered Tuesday on MTV.

1990s, he makes his living from them, as proprietor of the vintage-apparel store Deepcover on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

It opened in February 2016 and counts comedian Aziz Ansari, actor Jaden Smith and singer Joe Jonas among its clientele.

Did the other contestants resent Wagner for his '90s expertise? "There was a little bit of that," he says, "because for me going into this house I'm like, 'I

do this every day!' But," he adds, "everyone in the house is great.

I love every single person. Living in the house with everybody, whatever else it was, you get a bond with these people because you're all in it together."

Indeed, agree Wagner and Wynter, the '90s will be sticking around for a few years.

"Everything from that era, everyone wants again," Wagner says. "They're bringing everything back: NES Classic with 30 Nintendo games. French Toast Crunch. Crystal Pepsi. People my age, we remember these things, we want them," he says.

But there's more to it than that, he adds. "My demographic was probably the last to really remember life pre-internet. You go to the supermarket today and a little kid sitting in a shopping cart has an iPhone. Your kid starts crying? Give him an iPad, dammit! It was a completely different way of life."

Ultimately, it's about more than just technology and that's the fax.

(Facebook) Jeff Miller will be the latest artist to perform at Levity Brewing Co.

Nashville Looper to lift Levity Brewing Co.

By DYLAN LYLE Staff Writer D.S.Lyle@iup.edu

Jeff Miller will perform at 7 p.m.

Friday at the Levity Brewing Co. taproom, located at 1380 Wayne Ave. Miller performs a genre of music called live-looping or loop rock. This unique style of music is played using rhythmically complex guitar and a variety of pedals. The result is layered chord progressions, one over another.

Miller’s music has been critically acclaimed and featured on national television.

“Looping is like listening to a symphony of guitars,” said Ted Pivetz, a manager and event coordinator at Levity. “You’re hearing four or five different layers on top of each other.”

Miller is Levity’s first performer from Nashville, Tenn. This performance at Levity is a stop on Miller’s 2017 fall tour. He said he heard about Levity and reached

out to Pivetz.

“Jeff reached out to me a few months ago and said that someone mentioned us to him,” Pivetz said. “He heard about the atmosphere and wanted to come play.”

Levity usually brings in 75 to100 people for its events. There’s usually no cover. So, Levity relies on people buying food and beer. Pivetz said the atmosphere is usually lively, energetic and can be casual.

“We maintain a family atmosphere even during the shows,” Pivetz said. “Our environment is completely different from a college pub.”

Pivetz said the crowd that this venue attracts can be very diverse.

The venue is outdoors where people can grab drinks and listen to music.

“We get everyone from 21 to 71 years old, and you can’t really pinhole the type of audience we attract,” Pivetz said. “We have been fortunate enough to have a kind of environment where all kinds of people are comfortable.”

“My gang and I were tired of the bar scene here in Indiana, and we just didn’t seem to mesh with

any of the previously established fraternities,” he said. “That’s when we knew it was time for μ.”

One chat with Buhl and his friends makes it obvious that this isn’t just another fraternity coming to IUP. “The biggest snag we ran into while setting up the fraternity was finding a house,” he said. “And that’s when we figured it all out – we could just buy the old Giant Eagle Express on S. Seventh St. and convert it into our new

home.”

Buhl and the other members are in the closing stages of the renovations to the former grocery store with the hope to be up and operational sometime in October.

In the meantime, the guys are camped out in the parking lot and doing schoolwork by the light of their lanterns.

“The renovation was going to be a long process,” Buhl said. “We decided to keep the

“The thing that sets μ apart from the other fraternities is that we’re all about you, the consumer,” Light said. “We want people to tell their friends about what a great time they had at μ.”

The IUP volleyball team had its winning streak snapped on Tuesday against Wheeling Jesuit University.

Wheeling Jesuit took the threegame sweep to VOLLEYBALL win the match.

The Crimson Hawks seemingly lost in every aspect of the matchup. The only statistic that IUP led in was aces.

However, there was a lot to take away from the loss. The match was a team effort with almost everyone getting involved.

Six players got kills in the effort with Natalie Cignetti (senior, natural science/pre-med) leading the category with 12 kills.

Also helping with kills was Alexis Anderson (senior, marketing) with 11, Gabbly Egler (senior, psychology) and Sami Brown (junior, natural science/pre-med) had four each and Elora Pitman (junior, psychology) and Jessica Ignace (sophomore, criminology) both had one.

Katie Miller (senior, anthropology) also tried to get something started for the Crimson Hawks.

Miller picked up 30 assists in the contest. She now has 539 assists on the season.

Miller has 1,184 career assists, which already has her eighth on the all-time list not even half way through her senior season.

She is also eighth all-time for assists per game.

OUR MOST OBVIOUS GOAL IS TO WIN THE PSAC, AND BASED ON OUR GROWING SUCCESS, WE ARE PUTTING IT IN OUR MIND THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN

−KATIE MILLER (SENIOR, ANTHROPOLOGY)

Even though the Crimson Hawks have picked up a couple losses this season, they’re still undefeated in conference play, and that is where their season goals lie.

“We have team goals that we set forth before our competition schedule was even started so those are referenced every day in practice and the weight room,” Miller said. “Our most obvious goal is to win the PSAC (Pennsylvania State Athletics Conference), and based on our success last year and our growing success this year, we are putting it in our mind that it is going to happen, no question.”

IUP will return home to get back to its conference schedule.

This weekend IUP will play Cheyney and West Chester universitites.

Cheyney will travel to IUP in hopes of getting its season on the right track. The Wolves have yet to get their first victory as they started their season off 0-7.

That match will take place at 7 p.m. Friday at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex (KCAC).

West Chester is having a much better season than Cheyney this far into the season. West Chester is 11-2 and 1-1 in the PSAC. Its only conference loss came from California University of Pennsylvania. That match will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the KCAC.

(IUP Athletics) Alexis Anderson (senior, marketing) recorded 11 kills in the team’s three-game sweep at the hands of Wheeling Jesuit University on Tuesday night.

Crimson Hawks split pair of conference games against Clarion and Cal U

By KEVIN BOHAN Staff Writer

K.J.Bohan@iup.edu

Last week was an up-and-down week for the Crimson Hawks as the IUP soccer team went 1-1 in conference play, losing to Clarion University and beating rival California University of Pennsylvania.

The match against Clarion saw two strong defensive teams take the field in a 1-0 victory for the Golden Eagles.

Clarion scored what ended up as the game-deciding goal in the first minute of the game.

It was the fourth goal that freshman goalkeeper Makenzie Witzel (undecided) had given up all year.

Throughout the game, IUP had several chances to even the score.

The Crimson Hawks totaled 10 shots and seven corner kicks.

They also outshot the Golden Eagles by five total shots and had the same amount of shots on goal in the game.

The game proved to be a physical matchup as the teams combined to have 19 total fouls on the evening.

Wednesday’s game against Cal U saw IUP rebound after the loss earlier in the week. The Crimson Hawks unleashed a barrage of goals throughout the course of the first half and beat the Vulcans, 3-0.

Senior forward Lexie Palluconi (fashion merchandising) tallied two total goals for the evening, both coming from one on one drives down the field to get passed the Cal U’s keeper.

The scoring was, however, started by midfielder Megan Coyne (senior, kinesiology), who scored her

goal on a free kick in the 19th minute of the game.

Overall, the Crimson Hawks completely dominated the entire game.

IUP boasted an impressive 23 shots to Cal U’s two shots.

Fifteen of IUP’s shots were also on goal.

Defense played a strong part in the contest, as only one shot from Cal U made it to freshman goalkeeper Madeline Smakulski (undecided), who posted her fourth shutout of the year.

Along with strong scoring, Brandie Bryant (senior, kinesiology) notched two assists on the day, as well.

After the game, coach Adel Heder showed optimism for its goal to make advances into the postseason.

He talked about how the team showed great promise, and despite being very young, still had high hopes to advance further into the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) postseason.

The upcoming schedule will determine a lot for how IUP will finish the season as PSAC play begins to heat up.

The next two Saturdays will show the Crimson Hawks taking on Millersville University and then Mansfield University on Oct. 2.

Both games will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Field hockey falls short at Slippery Rock

By SARAH MOLTZ Staff Writer

S.J.Moltz@iup.edu

The IUP field hockey team took a hard loss Wednesday night to Slippery Rock University, 2-1, in a conference faceoff.

Junior midfielder Kalista Gioglio (sports administration) scored IUP’s lone goal to tie the game 1-1 in the second period.

However, Slippery Rock’s Alyssa Castle scored with two minutes left in the game to give Slippery Rock the win.

Gioglio scored three goals in the last four games, giving her a total of three goals so far this season.

Senior forward Maddie Mullen (marketing) had five shots on goal and six shots against Slippery Rock.

Mullen currently has two goals and two assists, leading in shots for the Crimson Hawks with 25.

Junior midfielder Matti Reightler (political science/pre-law) has

a team-high five goals and five assists. Reightler is sixth in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) with 15 points.

The Crimson Hawks fell to 4-5 overall and 1-1 in the PSAC after

Wednesday’s game.

IUP now has a 3-0 record at home and a 1-4 record away.

At home, the Crimson Hawks have defeated two top-10 teams, Kutztown University, 2-1, and Mill-

ersville University, 1-0.

“There’s a feeling of comfort when at home,” Mullen said. “We have more friends and family that come to support us. The overall atmosphere of being at home is a

15

factor that propels how we play.”

The Crimson Hawks get ready to host the No. 1-ranked East Stroudsburg University Warriors at 1 p.m. Saturday at George P. Miller Stadium.

The two teams faced off in the fourth game of the season. The Warriors grabbed the win over the Crimson Hawks, 3-0.

“The first half of the game against East Stroudsburg earlier this season was the best we’ve played so far,” Mullen said. “We proved that we can play with anyone in this league. We’re hoping to be consistent and capitalize on scoring opportunities against them this weekend.”

The Warriors currently hold an 8-2 overall record and are 1-1 in the PSAC. The Warriors took their second loss of the season Wednesday against the Shippensburg Raiders, 4-1.

East Stroudsburg’s Sydney McCarthy ranks second in the PSAC and 10th in Division II with 2.20 points per game.
