Holocaust survivor speaks about his experiences

By KATIE WILLIAMS Staff Writer K.L.Williams9@iup.edu

In 1932, Hitler ascended to Chancellor of Germany.

“At age 7, I [had] seen more death than life,” said Holocaust survivor Judah Samet Monday night in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room. “[Hitler] said he wanted to ‘hang Jews from telephone poles and hang them until they stunk, then take them down and replace them with more Jews.’”

Samet, now 79, gave the account of his life in concentration camps, his family’s struggle for survival and the hope to assimilate to life outside Hitler’s rule.

He began with the story of how he, at 7 years old, and his family “were transported [from Hungary] in trains used for livestock.”

When they were rounded up, they were told they were being taken to “a better place.”

“They were herding us like cattle,” he said, describing the march that led Jews to the trains. As they marched, Samet said other citizens were walking on both sides of the

street around them, but no one would look at those marked for death.

“There were thousands of us,” he said before addressing the audience. “So thank you for seeing me now.”

Samet prefaced his tale with some sentiments about his mother.

“My mother was the hero of this story,” Samet said. Because his mother was a translator who was fluent in German, her value offered a degree of protection for her family.

Samet told the story of seeing his mother with a pistol placed at her head when she approached a German soldier.

“[It] was Hitler’s rule,” he said when he told the audience about how her attempt to get water for the people on the train led to that moment.

Later on, at the camp, his mother also tried to get what little food was available from farmers. Samet said this was also incredibly dangerous because, if she had been caught, the farmers and his mother would have been shot.

At one point, nutrients and food were in such short supply that Samet’s mother told him to eat lice to stay alive.

Although she was only 4-foot10, he said, she stood at 10 feet tall.

“She was our heart and soul,” Samet said. “She had guts. She was not afraid. She kept us alive.”

One day, his mother didn’t come back, and Samet found that she had been caught and jailed.

She never said how she got out, and he and his other family members never asked. “[Her] cellmate was a young Austrian girl,” he said. He described how women were commanded to entertain German sol-

diers, but his mother’s cellmate had refused.

“They hung her,” he said.

Samet lived in multiple concentration camps, all of which were filled with severe starvation, failing immune systems and prevailing diseases.

By the time he was on a train to a third concentration camp, Samet found himself angry when the dead body of a man next to him was removed because he had been using the body as a pillow and cover.

“We became subhuman,” he said about his experiences.

Some of Samet’s biggest frustrations, he said, came from the lack of resistance from the people standing next to him.

“I was more mad at my own people rather than the Germans, at first.”

Samet said he later learned that the people who took them from their homes also took away their ammunition, so they were entirely incapable of fighting back.

It was Americans who saved his train, Samet said. The prisoners noticed, when the hatch opened, that the uniform was different.

Samet and his family were then given the chance to seek sanctuary in America, but his mother instead took them to Israel, where he was put in an orphanage. He lived there until he was 14.

“If it wasn’t for my mother,” he said, “I wouldn’t be here today.”

When Samet finished, he was met by thunderous applause.

Many people seemed to appreciate the story he had to share.

“It was sobering,” Luke Streussnig (sophomore, criminology/ sociology) said. “It was interesting, a different viewpoint. It could show where we could go if we aren’t careful.”

Streussnig said he felt grateful that he was able to listen to Samet’s story.

“My kids won’t be able to get this firsthand,” he said.

Felicia Daniel, an administrative assistant at IUP, agreed with Streussnig’s thoughts.

“It was a great [story] to hear firsthand,” she said. “I’ve never heard from a survivor. His stories and accounts were very specific.

“He could express both the good and bad times.”

Salute to Grads Day offering one-stop shop for May graduates

By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Lead News Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

With commencement only a few weeks away, the IUP Co-op Store, in conjunction with other IUP offices, is hosting Salute to Grads Day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Co-op Store.

Salute to Grads, an opportunity for graduating undergraduates, masters and doctoral students to take care of all of their graduation needs, has been happening at IUP every semester for more than 20 years.

Tim Sharbaugh, director of the IUP Co-op Store, described it as a

News

“one-stop shop for graduation regalia.”

“Getting prepared for graduation can be stressful, and the event takes place well in advance so students can relax and know they have everything in place before the stress of finals and projects at the end of the semester,” Sharbaugh said.

“Now, they can see what the options are and know they had the opportunity to make their day as special as they would like it to be.”

All offices or entities associated with graduation, as well as offices students may have contact with post-graduation, will be present to help students prepare for the big

day and answer any questions they may have.

This includes the Office of the Registrar, Office of Annual Giving, IUP Ambassadors, Office of Alumni Relations, Office of International Education, Kip Photography, Student Activity Committee (STATIC), Student Co-op Marketing and vendors for diploma frames, class rings and announcements.

Upcoming graduates can purchase their caps and gowns, contribute to the class gift, make sure all records are in order, collect honors medallions and purchase class rings or graduation photos.

Madison Sabo, a 2012 graduate and assistant director for the

April 4, 2017

Office of Alumni Relations and IUP Ambassadors, explained what her office will be doing at Salute to Grads Day. “Salute to Grads is a great way for the IUP Ambassadors to represent the Office of Alumni Relations and make students aware of their potential roles as alumni,” Sabo said.

Sharbaugh said more students have been participating in the departmental and commencement ceremonies over the years, and he estimated possible attendance for Salute to Grads at more than 1,000 students.

He said the event is more than just doing everything necessary to

prepare for graduation because it also has an entertaining aspect to it. There will be games, prizes, music and food.

“It is an event that helps the students have fun and get the process headed in the right direction as their time in college winds down,” Sharbaugh said.

“It is always a fun day, and we encourage all graduates to celebrate [their] accomplishments by participating in commencement.”

Those who can’t make it to Salute to Grads are able to purchase their caps and gowns anytime from the Co-op store. A separate event for student teachers will be April 26.

Counseling Center to offer Consent 101 workshops

By KATIE MEST Staff Writer K.A.Mest@iup.edu

In hopes of making the campus a safer place, the IUP Counseling Center will be holding an information session to discuss the problem of sexual assaults on college campuses.

The session, a Consent 101 workshop, will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday in Suites on Maple East, Room G60.

Consent is asking for permission and being sure of the other person’s response.

Ken Volk (graduate, clinical psychology) will be running the event with Melissa Meulman (graduate, clinical psychology).

“I hope [students] will get a chance to learn about consent and different ways to give it and know when consent isn’t there,” Volk said, “and to have an awareness of those signs to help prevent things like sexual assault from happening.”

Students are invited to join in the discussion and give their input.

Volk and Meulman will cover what consent means and why it is relevant, especially in college. “[Consent] is very important on college campuses,” Volk said.

“There are higher rates of sexual assaults that are reported on campuses. It’s very important, in terms

of a college population, to feel safe and feel like your rights and your boundaries are being respected and not violated by others.”

Volk and Meulman will discuss how drugs and alcohol can also affect one’s ability to give consent, and how students can be more aware of a person’s altered mindset. They will also emphasize that consent is needed in all relationships and sexual encounters, and sexual assault doesn’t just happen to females with male perpetrators.

“Feeling safe is important in a lot of ways,” Volk said. “It would be hard to do a lot of things if you didn’t feel safe. You couldn’t go to class with someone else if they felt threatening in a way.”

IUP offers many resources to victims of sexual assault, such as the counseling center and the Haven Project, which will be hosting its annual Take Back the Night march April 12.

Hispanic Council to show movie

By KATIE WILLIAMS Staff Writer K.L.Williams9@iup.edu

The Hispanic Heritage Council will host “A Day without a Mexican,” an event featuring a movie and forum, at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Room B-11 of the Humanities and Social Sciences Building.

Dr. Marjorie Zambrano-Paff, HHC chairwoman, described the event as a place for students to gather and discuss how immigration affects the United States.

Zambrano-Paff said the HHC feels there is a need to raise awareness for immigration issues because these issues impact not only their lives, but also their com-

munities.

“We hope to start a conversation about this topic among our students and faculty members,” she said.

She added that the type of discourse being used when addressing immigrants is important, and she hopes this event will prompt students to think about it.

Zambrano-Paff said the HHC does not hold any position on the topic.

Its goal is to raise awareness about the visibility of immigrants and possible stereotypes students might run into. She said they “look forward to engaging in a fruitful and insightful academic discussion after the movie.”

OPINION

How important is immunity?

People will talk about Watergate and Benghazi for decades to come. All of the lies, headlines and trials will remain infamous as some of the most unsettling American mistakes. But we don’t ever seem to learn from them. How long will the topic of a foreign adversary attacking the American political system last in daily conversation? In the most recent case of an American calamity, a question of national security and the future of democracy is called into play, and it is a popular belief that we need to get to the bottom of this soon as possible.

Many questions remain, but one in particular seems to be attracting the most attention right now: Should we protect the guilty to gain more knowledge? Gen. Michael Flynn, the retired general who served as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser for one month, is seeking immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony regarding the Trump campaign’s possible coordination with Russia. Although it’s customary for potential targets of an investigation to ask for immunity, it’s difficult to immediately extend possible protection for the man who led so many “lock her up” chants during Trump’s campaign and to put aside irony, retribution

The big disconnect

By JENNIFER FERRO Los Angeles Times TNS

President Donald Trump’s preliminary budget, released in mid-March, slashes a number of domestic programs. The one that hits closest to home for me is the total defunding of the Corp. for Public Broadcasting, a private nonprofit corporation created by Congress to distribute funds to the nation’s public television and radio stations.

The elimination of federal funding would silence a large segment of independent and free media at a time when we need trustworthy information more than ever.

At KCRW, the Santa Monica, Calif., National Public Radio member station where I’m president, the loss would mean a $1.2 million hole in our budget each year. That translates into 12 to 15 positions and a cut

and pettiness to focus on security.

Some think that definitively rejecting Flynn’s offer, as the Senate Intelligence Committee did Friday, isn’t a bad idea.The other side, however, says there should be a careful review of the information and insight Flynn could provide in contrast to what might be uncovered about him. Those deliberating Flynn’s request must decide whether it is more important to punish all those involved who may be guilty or uncover the truth, possibly more quickly and objectively, so they can protect the masses.

Maybe immunity can make sure that those who may have betrayed the United States are never in a position to do so again. If prosecutors are confident that Flynn has information for a criminal case against principle people in the alleged wrongdoing, maybe immunity should be granted.

However, the most important part of these decisions about the Trump-Russia investigation is that they should be made only by people who are completely independent of the investigation.

This includes: Trump, who directly encouraged the Russians to spy on his opponent; Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who also had contacts with the Russians that he was not truthful about and who recused himself from the investigations; and all of Trump’s appointees in the White House and in the Department of Justice.

to the news and public-service programming we provide on a daily basis; it represents about 5 percent of the station’s budget. But at a much smaller station, say the one in Marfa, Texas – a station that provided the only live, local information during recent wildfires – the loss translates into more than 30 percent of that budget.

CPB dollars go directly to individual stations, to local operations that cover issues with local employees, not to the national programming or administration efforts of the umbrella organizations, NPR and PBS. At KCRW, we’ve used CPB funds to dig into Los Angeles’ homelessness boom and housing crisis, to explain complicated ballot measures facing the county and state, and to present civil debates from the left, the right and the center about politics.

Washington’s total public broadcasting appropriation represents just 0.16 percent of the overall federal budget. For a $1.35 annual investment per American, public

broadcasting provides a robust, independent national news network that stretches from America’s urban centers to native villages in Alaska. It makes no sense to dismantle such an important institution for such a small budgetary gain.

Public radio and television proved their independence during the 2016 presidential election by presenting every political point of view. These stations aren’t beholden to corporate constraints or shareholders. Like public libraries that provide unbiased information for all, public broadcasting is free and available to everyone.

Public radio in particular is a critical part of the nation’s communications infrastructure. While commercial radio has cut costs by consolidating its operations into one or two main hubs, public radio stations are staffed and operated live. In rural areas, public radio stations often are the only live broadcast outlet. As in Marfa during the wildfires, those stations provide vital infor-

mation to their broadcast areas, and without federal funding, this crucial community function would surely disappear.

Support for public broadcasting isn’t a partisan issue. A national study shows that 69 percent of all voters oppose the elimination of government funding for public media. We’ve been through this fight before; public broadcasting’s funding has been singled out in political battles in the past. But the Trump administration budget, which zeroes out the Corp. for Public Broadcasting, is the most serious threat to free and open public media that we have faced to date.

I hope the American people will again rally to support public radio and television stations, reaching out to their members of Congress from all corners of the country and urging them to reject the potentially catastrophic elimination of funding.

As the budget debate unfolds, our listeners can depend on KCRW to do its part to keep them well-informed.

Local band to host album release show at The Brown Hotel

By RENEÉ WILLIAMSON Staff Writer R.A.Williamson@iup.edu

An Indiana band will hold its album release party at 9 p.m. Saturday at The Brown Hotel.

Herbivore is comprised of Matthew Van Horn (graduate, speech-language pathology) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar; Anthony Capozzi on drums (graduate, political science); IUP biology graduate Jacob Geisel on bass and occasionally guitar; Kevin Householder on keyboard, vocals and occasionally guitar; and Chris Beaulieu on lead guitar, vocals and occasionally bass.

The band’s new album, “The College Years,” will be sold for $10 during the event, along with T-shirts and pins.

Herbivore has eclectic influences that make up its sound.

“I was influenced a lot by acoustic instrumentalists,” Van Horn said. “And I play a lot of acoustic guitar, so that kind of fed into how Herbivore sounds.

“And then we bring in Chris, with his influences, and Capozzi was a punk rocker, so we got his punk-rock influences on the drums.

8

Kevin loves The Beatles; he’s throwing in all these weird, good harmonies all the time.

Jake’s obsessed with intricate mathcore stuff.”

“So, we really haven’t been able to classify ourselves yet,” Capozzi said.

The Brown is Herbivore’s main stage for Indiana performances.

“It’s like our cornerstone place in Indiana,” Capozzi said. “We’re close with [The Brown manager] Sean [Howard].”

The Brown hosts open mic nights every Tuesday night.

“Before we really started associating the band with The Brown, we would go there and just play our stuff at open mic nights,” Van Horn said. “Eventually, they asked us to come on and play because they knew we had a band, and from that we became pretty good friends with them. They’re just great guys.”

Herbivore formed a relationship with The Brown through their performances.

“We used to practice [at Chris’s house], and his house caught on fire,” Capozzi said.

“We lost some equipment and stuff, so they had a benefit for us.”

Van Horn said Herbivore formed during

his freshman year at IUP. “We were pretty lame and couldn’t get into the frat houses, so we spent our weekends just playing music and writing tunes, and then a lot of those tunes stuck with us over the years, even though Chris left IUP after freshman year,” Van Horn said.

Herbivore officially got its start in March 2016. A few of the musicians in the band were graduating soon, and they wanted a memento of what Herbivore created so far.

“Come last spring, we decided all of us [were] graduating soon, so we wanted to get together and just record these songs,” Van Horn said. “That way, we had something tangible to hold onto because we put a lot of work into songs throughout the years, and there were no good recordings of them.”

Householder and Nick Petrunyak, Herbivore’s manager and producer, were introduced to the group during this recording session.

“If it weren’t for [Nick], we wouldn’t be what we are,” Van Horn said.

These recordings developed into the demo for “The College Years,” which was released last summer. The demo was later remastered to create the current album un-

April 4, 2017

der the same title.

The group aims to perform at least one or two shows a month, Van Horn said.

“Because we live so far away from each other, it’s hard to get it together,” Van Horn said. “Jake drives up from Maryland, bless his soul, every time we have a show, and that’s kind of taxing on him.”

The band uses flexibility to stay active, including performing without a full band.

“We’re pretty versatile,” Van Horn said.

“A couple weeks ago, me, [Capozzi] and our keyboardist, Kevin, played a show at H.R. Steinhouse.

“So, we can still play our own music without the other members of the band. It’s just the full experience is a lot better.”

Herbivore is currently developing a second album.

“It’s all formulating right now,” Van Horn said. “What we do, since we’re so far apart, [is] communicate through social media a lot.

We always have group chats going.

“Eventually, by doing this, come maybe August or next winter break, we’ll get together for a week and just bang out the second album. It will be a lot different-sounding than the first album.”

Museum work to move to Artists Hand Gallery

By LAITH ZURAIKAT Staff Writer L.A.Zuraikat@iup.edu

Starting Wednesday, The Artists Hand Gallery and Espresso Bar will display a variety of new art pieces, thanks to the IUP University Museum.

A free public reception to celebrate the opening of this new exhibit will be held at The Artists Hand from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday.

The exhibit will feature a variety of work curated from the museum’s ceramics collection, which contains more than 50 unique objects.

Pieces ranging in artist, style and time period make up the museum’s ceramics collection. The pieces range from a 116-year-old Peruvian Urn to modern art created by members of the IUP community, such as IUP assistant professor Kevin Turner’s “Solenopsis Form.”

According to the museum’s website, the exhibit includes “Southwest Native American pot-

tery representing the Zuni, Acoma, Hopi, Jemez and Tiqua Pueblo cultures and traditions, as well as pieces demonstrating the San Ildefonso Pueblo-style pottery from artists such as the renowned Maria Martinez.”

Additionally, Japanese-American ceramist Toshiko Takaezu’s closed pots, round spheres and tall cylinders, inspired from natural forms, will be displayed to “promote the production of ceramics as functional vessels to the status of fine art.”

Those who cannot make it to the reception can view the artwork at any point until May 1 during The Artists Hand’s regular hours.

The Artists Hand, located at 732 Philadelphia St., is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Those interested in obtaining more information about the collection and the exhibit can contact Leslie Kluchurosky at 724-357-2397 or The Artists Hand Gallery at 724463-8710.

‘13 Reasons Why’ review: ‘A new look at cumulative humiliations’

By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD News Editor A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

If you were an avid teen fiction reader in 2011, you may remember a little novel Jay Asher wrote called “13 Reasons Why.” The book follows the life and death of high school student Hannah Baker, who left behind a series of cassette tapes that explain how each person on the tapes drove her to commit suicide.

Although the show premiered on Netflix just last Friday, that was plenty of time for many people to binge the 13-episode first season of this suspenseful series, despite each episode lasting an hour.

The plot and dialogue primarily stick to Asher’s original work, following the outsider protagonist Clay Jensen (Dylan Minnette) as he tries to piece together his place in Hannah’s (Katherine Langford) life and work through his feelings about his dead friend, coworker and crush.

Amid jumps forward and backward in time, perspectives change to revolve around jock culture, sexuality, responsibility, shaming,

depression, abuse, sexual assault and death.

Even while watching, you can’t help but laugh and fall in love during Hannah’s happiest moments.

It’s difficult not to have a glimmer of hope that she can fight through the worst parts of life and navigate her way to a happier ending, even though we all know what really happens.

Likewise, it’s hard not to wonder how any of us would act in the given situations. It’s difficult to not get teary-eyed when the inevitable happens.

Speculation about this book-toscreen adaptation lasted for a few years, as it was published in 2007 and didn’t receive its big break until 10 years later. It bounced between being made for the big

screen or television, but the show was eventually picked up by Netflix, Paramount Television and executive producers Selena Gomez, Joy Gorman, Brian Yorkey and Kristel Laiblin.

Yorkey, a Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winner, also wrote the show’s script, while Oscar winner Tom McCarthy, who directed “Spotlight,” was also involved in the project.

In a genre that regularly provides new faces but often the same old stories, a truly captivating and emotionally charged tale comes through in the leading characters and the palpable feelings and authenticity they face.

As everyone knows, high school can provide some of the best and worst memories for people, even for the popular kids who seem to be breezing through, or the wallflowers who are just dying to get out.

The series is a new look at the cumulative humiliations and pain we too often ignore until it’s too late.

It demonstrates, in the most gripping way, every reason that could push a 17-year-old girl to kill herself.

IUP lacrosse back on track with road win at Shippensburg

By BRAD O’HARA Staff Writer

B.L.Ohara@iup.edu

The IUP women’s lacrosse team got back on the winning side of things by beating Shippensburg University Saturday afternoon.

The team won by a score of 11-5 in the road LACROSSE match, improving its record to 4-3 on the season.

Leading the way for the team were Ally Burrows (sophomore, biology), Kim Hooven (senior, elementary and special education), Chelsea Johnston (freshman, biology) and Bri Chavis (sophomore, criminology).

Burrows scored three goals while also picking up an assist.

Hooven, Johnston and Chavis each scored two goals.

Offense isn’t everything, though, and goalkeeper Angela Lontoc (junior, pre-med chemistry) proved that. Lontoc recorded 16 saves while letting up only five goals.

“Our mindset heading into Shippensburg was to just worry about ourselves as a team and not think about our opponent,” Burrows said. “We wanted to play our own IUP lacrosse and show the conference what we are made of.

We also wanted a really big team win with everybody contributing and to take what we've learned from our tough losses in Florida

12

along with Tiffin and to put it all together.”

The victory over Shippensburg continued IUP’s undefeated record in conference play, as it was IUP’s third conference win.

However, the Crimson Hawks’ focus remains on playing their own type of game.

“We don't want to play down to any other teams or to adjust to our opponents, but we want to control the games by being ourselves,” Burrows said.

“We just want to have fun and work together, and success should come with that. We are looking to work together and to play to everyone's strengths and to really become a unit that way. We are looking to stun the conference this year, because they're going to be expecting who we were last year, but we are a whole new team with some crazy new talent they won't be ready for.”

Burrows is the leading scorer for the Crimson Hawks with 25 points, and also leads in goals, with 23.

The team will travel to Seton Hill University Tuesday. Seton Hill is ranked No. 20 in the nation in Division II. They hold a 5-4 overall record and a 3-2 conference record heading into their conference matchup with IUP. IUP will then host the No. 16 ranked team in Division II when they take on Lock Haven University.

The Bald Eagles boast an overall record of 6-3 and a conference record of 3-1.

The game will be held at 4 p.m.

Thursday at George P. Miller Stadium.

(IUP Athletics) Ally Burrows (sophomore, biology) has been the Crimson Hawks’ top offensive threat in 2017. Burrows is the team’s leader in points, with 25, and goals, with 23.

(IUP Athletics) Senior defender Hannah Bertolo (marketing and finance) is one of the Crimson Hawks leaders on the back end. Bertolo is the team’s leader in ground balls, with 26.

IUP baseball picks up pair of conference wins over Gannon

(IUP Athletics) IUP infielder Cory Wheeler (junior, exercise science) gave the Crimson Hawks a lead they wouldn’t surrender with his RBI double in Game 2 against Gannon University Sunday.

By SARAH MOLTZ Staff Writer

S.J.Moltz@iup.edu

The IUP baseball team traveled to Erie Sunday morning for a doubleheader against Gannon University at McConnell Family Stadium.

The Crimson Hawks combined for 18 runs, sweeping Gannon by winning the first game, 7-3, and winning the second game, 11-5.

Right-handed pitcher Jeff Allen (sophomore, criminology) started on the mound for IUP in Game 1.

Gannon started the scoring early, jumping out to a 3-0 lead.

The Crimson Hawks scored a run in the top of the fifth on a sacrifice fly from senior center fielder Matt Eperesi (accounting), scoring Ted DeSanti (junior, criminology).

The score remained 3-1 until the top of the seventh, when IUP tied the game on a two-run homer down the left-field line by Eperesi.

With the bases loaded, junior Dan Sepic (hospitality management) walked and gave the Crimson Hawks four runs in the ninth.

Scott Hess (senior, safety science) followed with a two-run single.

Wes Carson (junior, criminology) ended the extra-inning affair with a single.

Carson finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a double in the first game. Eperesi was 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored. Senior Dillon Swanger (criminology) earned the win in relief, tossing three scoreless innings

while only yielding one hit.

In Game 2, Sepic gave IUP a 1-0 lead in the top of the first with a two-out solo home run to left field.

Leading 3-1 in the second inning, after Epersei reached via a single and DeSanti was hit by a pitch, freshman Chris Eisel (prephysical therapy) homered to left to extend the lead to 4-0.

In the top of the fifth, junior Cory Wheeler (exercise science) hit an RBI double.

Junior infielder Anthony Rigous (accounting) followed with an RBI single to push IUP’s lead to 7-4 over Gannon.

Rigous ended the game with a two-run home run in the seventh.

He was 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. Eisel was 4-for-4 with three runs scored, four RBIs and a home run.

Wheeler also impressed, tallying up a multi-RBI performance.

Left-handed pitcher Dan Roan (junior, sports management) earned the win for the Crimson Hawks in relief, tossing three innings, striking out four and allowing just one hit.

According to the walk-on pitcher, the Crimson Hawks really came together as a team this Sunday and looked like a unit.

“Overall, both games went well for us,” Roan said. “Our bats came alive at the right moments, and the pitchers kept the ball down in the zone, keeping Gannon’s hitters off-balance. We did exactly what was needed to be done to get the wins.”

By AMBER BAILEY Staff Writer

A.L.Bailey2@iup.edu

Currently ranked No. 35 in the nation, the IUP tennis team traveled to Akron, Ohio, over the weekend, earning a 5-4 win over Grand Valley State University in a non-conference match.

On Saturday, the doubles team of Sophie Butland (senior, exercise science) and Katya Minchenkova (freshman, undeclared business) tied, 1-1, after their 8-6 win over the Lakers’ No. 3 doubles team.

Jarka Petercakova (senior, international business) and Luise von Agris (junior, international business) earned an 8-5 win over the Lakers’ No. 1 doubles team.

The Lakers tied the match after straight-set wins at fourth singles.

Following that, IUP bounced back when Petercakova earned the team a 6-0, 6-2, victory over the No. 1 singles player for Grand Valley State.

Following Petercakova’s win, the team got to a 4-2 lead.

(IUP Athletics) Raquel Gonzalez (senior, business management) awaited an opponent’s shot during her singles victory in IUP’s win over Grand Valley State University.

Raquel Gonzalez (senior, business management) defeated her opponent, 6-4, 6-4.

To finish the match, Minchenkova wrapped it up with a 6-4, 6-3, win at fifth singles.

On Sunday, the team again earned a victory when they took on Wayne State University in another nonconference match, improving the squad’s record to 12-4.

Wayne State led early after defeating No. 1 doubles partners Petercakova and von Agris, 8-3.

Crimson Hawks offensive woes continue in scoreless weekend sweep by Lock Haven

By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

The IUP softball team continued its offensive struggles as the Crimson Hawks fell in two games to Lock Haven University.

The doubleheader was originally scheduled for Friday afternoon, but was rescheduled to Sunday due to inclement field conditions.

The Crimson Hawks fell to Lock Haven, 1-0, in both games. IUP was also out-hit, 7-4, in each game. The Crimson Hawks opened up the

SOFTBALL

doubleheader by sending sophomore Lauren Zola (hospitality management) to the mound. Zola pitched 6.1 innings and struck out four batters.

Despite the strong performance

by Zola, the Crimson Hawks lost due to an infield throwing error that allowed the game-winning run to advance. Four different hitters recorded hits for IUP. Hannah Mercer (senior, marketing), Amanda Parrish (junior, accounting), Amanda Spindler (senior, mathematics) and Alaina Montgomery (junior, management information systems) all recorded one hit each for the Crimson Hawks.

In Game 2, the Crimson Hawks relied on two pitchers. Freshman Macy Mularski (nursing) started the game for IUP and pitched 5.1 scoreless innings without recording a strikeout. Closing out the game was sophomore Megan Ris-

inger (nursing), who threw 2.2 innings while allowing the go-ahead home run for Lock Haven.

Mercer, Parrish, Spindler and freshman Kaitlyn Beers (criminology) all recorded a hit for the team.

After getting swept by Lock Haven, the Crimson Hawks have fallen to fifth place in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Central division, just ahead of Clarion University. Lock Haven is now in second place in the division with a 3-1 conference record.

The Crimson Hawks now own an 8-11 record and an 0-2 divisional record.

Moving forward, the Crimson Hawks will attempt to collect their first division win as they welcome the Clarion Golden Eagles.

Clarion is currently in last place in the PSAC Central. IUP will host Clarion at home Wednesday at 2:30 and 4:30 p.m.

(IUP Athletics) Starting pitcher Lauren Zola (sophomore, hospitality management) has led the Crimson Hawks’ pitching staff this season. Zola is 2-8 on the season with a 3.21 ERA in 63 innings.
