Fly through flu season healthy with a flu shot EMILY LOOSE

Contributing Writer E.D.Loose@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

Coughing, fever, nausea.

All are feelings that no one would want to deal with. It’s the flu, but you don’t have to go through it.

With flu season beginning in November, the Health Center at IUP is ahead of everything and pressing students to get flu shots.

After a few uprises in recent years, it is more important than ever to do so.

Elizabeth Houser, a nurse practitioner at the Health Center, was able to give facts about past flu outbreaks, as well tips to stay healthy. Being at the school for roughly seven years, she has seen many come in with flu-like symptoms, especially with more

than 100 students coming into the center every day.

According to Houser, the last two years have been some of the worst at the Health Center when it comes to the flu, with 65 positive cases last year. The reason as to why the number of positive cases spiked varies, but Houser sees one recurring situation happening at the school.

“A lot of cases come from people who say that they’ve never had the flu shot and never felt as though they needed it,” she said.

“These are the ones who get the flu the worst.”

Being in close proximity to almost 15,000 students can affect one’s health. So even if they have not gotten sick previously, they now come in contact with more people, many who are sick without realizing it.

The idea of getting sick is not

something that many look forward to, so Houser was quick with tips to keep healthy this flu season, aside from just the flu shot.

“The biggest thing we tell people who come in is not to touch their face, especially in a classroom setting,” she said. “The desks are covered with so much bacteria that someone in the class before you could have sneezed on their desk.”

With hand, foot and mouth disease also spreading around, this advice helps eliminate two problems, especially since there is no vaccination to prevent the latter illness.

Another important factor to staying healthy is getting a good amount of sleep. A healthy body needs to be able to charge up every morning to feel alert enough to fight off bacteria, which works best with seven to eight hours of

October 2, 2018

sleep. This, along with plenty of fluids and stress management, will make the chances of getting the flu less likely.

Of course, none of this means you are fully immune from getting the flu.

“Our goal is to make sure you don’t get the flu, or at the very least, make the symptoms much less extreme,” Houser said. “Out of all of our cases last year, two had had the shot, and that made symptoms much easier to deal with.”

Even if you still end up with the flu, the Health Center is prepared with cough syrup and hand sanitizer. But it is highly recommended to stay at home until the fever is gone.

“The sooner you don’t have to go out, the better,” she said.

Getting the shot is the first step and is “extremely easy.” The flu

shot at the Health Center is free and does not require an appointment.

While flu season does not start until November, getting it now is best, as it takes two weeks for it to start working correctly, which is the real reason why one can get sick after the shot – not because it gives you the flu.

Houser’s last piece of advice is one that should be followed no matter the time of the year.

“Keep your hands clean,” she said. “Carry sanitizer and use it all the time, especially when putting your hands on things touched every day. There’s always a chance to be exposed, so keep safe.”

For more information on the flu, visit the Health Center in the Suites on Maple East, and while there, make sure to get your free flu shot.

The IUP Journalism and Public Relations Department will host the 2018 State System Collegiate Media Summit.

The event takes place over two days, Oct. 20 and 21, and features 21 different speakers over multiple different panels telling their stories to students.

Two of the speakers are Pulitzer Prize winners, Susan Snyder and Alysia Burton Steele.

Snyder won the 2012 Pulitzer for Public Service as part of a team of journalists at the Philadelphia Inquirer covering violence in Philadelphia schools. Steele won her Pulitzer for her work as part of the photo team at the Dallas Morning Dispatch and its coverage of Hurricane Katrina. Both women are IUP alumni.

The keynote speaker for the event is Wendy Bell, a 21-time Regional Emmy winner.

Bell, who has had her ups and downs in recent years, was fired in March 2016 from WTAE for a blog post speculating that the race of suspects involved in a shooting were black. She then went on to reinvent herself as a blogger and started her website “Positively

Wendy Bell.”

Michele Papakie, journalism and public relations department chairperson, said she thinks that students who grew up around Pittsburgh would find Bell’s story interesting.

Papakie said that this was also an opportunity during IUP’s yearlong examination of free speech to bring in someone of notoriety who lost a job for her speech.

Papakie. “She started her own business telling news stories from a positive light.”

Papakie said it’s an interesting take on journalism and provides consumers who find that the news “gets them down” with an alternative way to stay informed.

The event is open to all majors, and it’s not just focused on journalism.

Papakie said the event features lots of journalism alumni, but it’s something that she hopes is perceived as a professional development event for all students. She hopes that all students can take something from it.

“Media affects everyone,” she said. “There are messages all through there about success.”

The event features plenty of young alumni as well, and Papakie said that that is big aspect that makes it interesting to students.

“We want to bring back the Pulitzer Prize winners and major alumni, and sometimes students can’t connect,” Papakie said.

“We have students who went out and made their own businesses after being out of school for just a couple years.”

“I think it’s exciting to hear a panel of people who once sat in your seat and weren’t too far from you.”

Registration for the event is open now. It costs $30 and includes four meals.

Successfully prepare for an 8 a.m.

BETHANY BAILEY Staff Writer B.J.Bailey@iup.edu @bethxnybailey

“The early bird catches the worm.”

This is an old-fashioned phrase meaning the earlier someone is to wake up in the morning, the more they will accomplish.

During college, students will have early classes, like the dreaded 8 or 9 a.m. But, why is there such a negative stigma around these early morning classes?

At the University of Munich in 2004, there was a study on sleep deprivation among teenagers.

The results concluded that teenagers have a different perception of time. It is not until the human body is 20 that it begins to wake up earlier.

Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that colleges everywhere will ban the 8 a.m. So how can Crimson Hawks molt themselves into an early bird?

Having a routine in the morning is crucial. After a while the

Tip 1: Shower in the morning “Showering in the morning helps you warm up, get ready for the day and gives you a sense of alertness,” Casey Doyle, (sophomore, anthropology) said.

Morning showers are also known to increase blood circulation, reduce stress and improve skin and hair health.

good grades.

Tip 4: Prepare the night before Trying to remember everything that needs to be done right after waking up is asking for a stressful morning. Packing your backpack and lunch/snack at night saves time in the morning.

Make sure to look at the weather for the upcoming day to have an appropriate outfit.

Indiana weather is a whole new breed. Dressing correctly can perfect the entire morning.

Having these simple tasks completed will create a stress-free morning and more time to sleep in. Getting up early in the morning is a struggle for most college students. Use these tips to excel in early rising.

Tip 2: Coffee Wait to have that cup of joe.

The body is more alert during the first two hours of the day. Wait until the beginning of the first class when your body is no longer as alert to have that first sip.

Tip 3: Motivation is key In an article by The Tab, they reported that skipping one class is the equivalent to throwing out $146. Waking up at 6 a.m. is hard, but throwing out $146 is harder.

Students choose their dream professors LILY WHORL

Digital Media Editor L.A.Whorl@iup.edu @lollylikeslemon

If you had the power to hire anyone in the world to be your teacher, who would you hire and why? An interesting question that some students immediately knew the answer to, while others had to take time and think.

Kayla Williams (senior, journalism and public relations) took little to no time to come up with her answer “Oprah,” she exclaimed. “I would hire Oprah.”

Williams explained that she would hire Oprah to be her teacher because of how inspiring of a woman she is.

“She’s been through so much in her life, and she’s such a great teacher and overall person,” she said.

“She’s made a wonderful woman out of herself.”

Answers varied from famous American singer-songwriters to

(Facebook) Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce, Alfred Adler and Justin Roiland are four IUP students’ ideal professors.

Austrian medical doctors. These answers held a special meaning behind it to each person.

“The way that she has built her brand is amazing,” said Courtney Taylor (senior, journalism and public relations) as she explained why Beyoncé would be her teacher of choice.

“From a public relations aspect, the way that she markets herself

is so interesting, and not only that, she’s a huge role model for me.”

Taylor went on to explain how much of an inspiration Beyoncé has been to her, and how she feels she would benefit from having her as a teacher.

Kyle Geibig (senior, psychology) chose a teacher that, like Taylor, made the most sense with his major.

“Alfred Adler,” said Geibig.

“I’m a psych major, and I tend to align with his theory of individual

psychology. His theory that we’re socially motivated and wanting to better ourselves and our lives.

All your decisions, your relationships, your friendships and everything you do is to better yourself and your social life and relationships with other people.

These theories resonate with me, and I would have loved to learn more from him as a teacher.”

Dylan Lyle (senior, journalism and public relations) took into consideration his future dreams when answering this question.

“I would choose to have Justin Roiland as my teacher,” said Lyle.

“My dream is to write for Adult Swim.”

Justin Roiland is the co-creator and executive producer of the popular animated series Rick and Morty. Lyle said he believes he would learn a lot from Roiland and it would be a great way to build a connection with him.

This simple question gives deep insight into who a person is and what they value.

Who would you choose?

OPINION Staff Thoughts:

I know this weekend is homecoming, but...

1. editor-in-chief, Seth Woolcock

Even though it is fairly the most anticipated weekend at IUP all year, the more years that go by, the less exciting it really seems to be. Maybe it’s the over-hyped expectations, wrapped together with just another hip-hop concert, you get the 2018 IUP homecoming.

2. managing editor, Katie Mest I have two exams, a giant paper, three work meetings and three long nights of work this week, and I don’t feel like seeing a bunch of kids drinking and carrying on while I’m miserable

3. COPY editor, Samantha Kahle

I’m headed home to Clarion this weekend to stuff my face with junk food from vendors at the Autumn Leaf Festival, which to me will be exponentially more enjoyable than dealing with other people’s drunken shenanigans.

4. NEWS editor, Jess Truby

I don’t look forward to it because all of the rowdy partiers make me want to never leave my house. It’s interesting going to get something to eat and seeing a bunch of people drunk in the middle of the day.

The homecoming here at IUP is overrated. It will be just like any other weekend with the addition of a few more people wandering around campus. I am pretty sure I will be spending most of my time in my art studios trying to beat deadlines.

8. Photo Editor, James Neuhausel

I honestly plan on having a pretty boring weekend. Not a lot happened during last year’s homecoming, so I don’t plan on going out of my way to find somewhere to go out.

9. Assistant Photo Editor, Mike Corona

I won’t be able to do anything here because I have to travel four hours for a high school friend’s wedding.

10. Audio Editor, Kyle Scott

Homecoming didn’t change anything for me in high school, and it certainly won’t change anything for me in college. I’m going to be watching Netflix and sleeping. I prefer binge watching to binge drinking.

11. Audio editor, Nate Miller

I’m 23 and washed up. Five years at IUP will do that to you.

12. Digital Media editor, Katie Williams

5. culture editor, Steven Langdon Jr.

I will be at Miller Stadium for color commentary of the IUP against Slippery Rock football game live at 2 p.m. on iupathlectics.com.

6. sports editor, Elliot Hicks

7. Graphic Designer, Samantha Schaefer

I’d rather take a nap and drink a full bottle of wine or six with a couple close friends.

And yes, those friends are tequila and vodka, thanks for asking.

13. Digital Media Editor, Lily Whorl

Nothing will change for me. Too much playoff baseball to watch.

I’ll be in Austin, Texas at a Public Relations Student Society of America National Conference because I’m a nerd, but like, a cool nerd.

Lil Wayne comes back with “Tha Carter V”

Lil Wayne released his 12th studio album “Tha Carter V” Friday.

NATE MILLER

Audio Editor Nate.Miller@iup.edu @N8BM

This article contains opinion.

When listening to a new album for the first time, one can find many things to complain about, if that’s what one is looking for.

“Tha Carter V” is like any comeback album. It provides the classic vibe of a timeless artist, while also challenging Wayne fundamentalists.

Growth and change will always make some people uncomfortable. Those people usually aren’t real fans.

Is “Tha Carter V” Lil Wayne’s best work?

No. Not by a long shot. We’re talking about the guy who made “No Ceilings.” We’re talking about the guy who made “Lollipop.”

But, for a 36-year-old man to stay relevant, for a 36-year-old man to make hits in a genre where record sales are ruled by the next 20 to 25-year-old sensations, he has to be doing something right.

Lil Wayne’s 12th studio album

8

gave us what he always has given us: an old school soul with a futuristic energy.

You’ll find gritty, old school beats that sound like they could be straight from “Tha Carter II,” an album full of songs that scream late 90s/early 2000s hip-hop. On “Dedicate,” the album’s third track, Wayne rides the beat in a similar way to “Hustler Muzik” (Tha Carter II).

You’ll find futuristic sounds reminiscent of the beginning of Wayne’s reign as the king of Auto-Tune. “Let It Fly,” in a way, is like the passing of the torch to Travis Scott. The grandfather of this shit is giving his blessing to the artist who is arguably best at using his Auto-Tuned voice instrumentally in the hip-hop era we have found ourselves in today.

Two songs featuring beats from hip-hop’s past made an appearance on “Tha Carter V.” Dr. Dre’s “Xxplosive” is mixed in with new guitar sounds as the framework of “Dope Ni**az,” featuring Snoop Dogg. Wayne and Snoop fit perfectly on the old school beat together.

The second beat reboot is from “The Green Ranger,” a song from Wayne’s “Dedication 4” mixtape

(Facebook)

featuring J.Cole. This song is one of the only hiccups on the album, in my opinion.

It’s not that the song is that bad.

It’s just that he went so much harder on the original version.

I waited patiently for a cleverly worded, rapid-fire verse, imagining how he might go off in the next line. Unfortunately, it was a build-up to nothing, leaving me blue-balled (metaphorically) and unsatisfied when each chorus came back in.

Even so, Lil Wayne has remained the only rapper alive who can rhyme the same word at the end of eight to 16 bars in a row and make it sound good.

Yeah, he might make a few songs that are unnecessarily long, which is where he probably loses some young fans in this ADD generation of immediate gratification, but he has never been one to say anything less than he felt he needed to.

Wayne’s most endearing quality is his authenticity. He gives you all of himself on every project, even when maybe you wish he wasn’t being so honest about all of the explicit details.

And as much as he may proclaim

October 2, 2018

that he is some otherworldly being, that is what makes him human.

The “I Am Not A Human Being” rapper made himself feel more human than ever by featuring his mother’s voice on multiple tracks.

On “Famous” he contrasts his celebrity image with his real life and features his daughter, Reginae, humanizing Dwayne Michael Carter even further. Underneath everything that is Lil Wayne exists a real man with real problems and real people who love him dearly.

“Tha Carter V” begs us, as fans and critics, to come to terms with that.

Regardless, the features on the album should give even the harshest critics everything they could want.

The Kendrick feature is perfect.

The Ashanti feature is perfect.

Delivering powerful songs with

hip-hop heavyweights adds to the triumphant nature of “Tha Carter V.” Amongst the triumph lies one tragedy.

It is heartbreaking to hear how good XXXTENTACION and Lil Wayne sound together.

“Don’t Cry” sucks you in. I heard the first chorus, and I was immediately emotionally invested in the entire album. Although we won’t ever hear more from the pair together, Wayne did his part to make sure XXXTENTACION’s voice will be immortalized, and maybe that will make the tragedy feel more triumphant.

After all of the health scares, after the lengthy legal battle with people he was once closest to, after the style he created became the style everyone else gets credit for, Weezy won with “Tha Carter V.” Lil Wayne can’t be broken.

Alpha Sigma Tau to host Miss IUP pageant ABE ESHELMAN

Contributing Writer A.Eshelman@iup.edu @DukeOfKalos

IUP will soon renew a long-standing tradition, the annual Miss IUP scholarship pageant, hosted by one of its own sororities, Alpha Sigma Tau. The event is a benefit for the Women’s Wellness Initiative, a philanthropic organization branching off Alpha Sigma Tau, which helps women in need through donations to and joint projects with groups like Dress for Success. The event has been run since the ‘80s but took a hiatus four years ago.

Jessica Norden (senior, interior design), director of philanthropy for Alpha Sigma Tau, breaks down the pageant itself into several events.

There is a community service requirement, a formal-wear competition/fashion show, an interview and a meeting with several sponsors that takes place before the event. This may sound like a lot of work, but there are many rewards that come with winning, outside of the fun of competing in the actual event.

“First off, if they win they get a $500 scholarship,” Norden said. “They’ll get to come to Miss IUP next year to pass down the crown, and they’ll be part of Alpha Sigma Tau’s float for the

homecoming parade.”

She added that “all the money they raise being a contestant goes to help underprivileged women and women looking for jobs, aside from the community service they’ve already done in the competition.”

The pageant is open to as many people as possible to try and represent the community through this supportive event, with only two major requirements. All participants must have a GPA of 2.0 or higher, and of course, they must be a woman. The contest is open to all years, body types or any other category of female student possible, if they are willing to do community service work and find sponsors.

The first meeting for the event, consisting of organizers and would-be contestants, will take place in the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority suites at 622 Church St. Oct. 9 at 7:30 pm.

If you’re interested in attending the event, Norden said there will be a $5 admission for anyone that wants to come and see the pageant. There will be a spirit award given by the audience, as it will go to the contestant who gets the most applause.

The pageant will be held Nov. 7 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Hadley Union Building (HUB) Ohio Room.

George Romero's classic movie "Night of the Living Dead" spawned the genre of American zombie films.

Flesh-eating dead people were key to the film's success, said one of its writers.

John A. Russo, who co-wrote the film with Romero, said Hollywood was producing bland horror films at the time, and the two collaborators wanted to do something different.

They made the film in the Pittsburgh region for $114,000.

Russo was among about 70 people who gathered Monday outside the Byham Theater in Downtown Pittsburgh to honor Romero on the 50th anniversary of the "Night of the Living Dead" premiere. The movie opened on Oct. 1, 1968, at the Fulton Theater, which later became the Byham.

"We wanted to make horror films that actually gave them their money's worth," Russo said. "When I saw 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' on a break from college, the people coming out of the 8 o'clock show had these stunned looks on their faces, and it was a damned good movie. When we were coming up with 'Night of the Living Dead,' working off a script, I said we have to make a movie that causes people to come out of the theater with the same stunned look on their faces.

We succeeded in that."

The crowd outside the Byham on Monday included Romero family members, fans and collaborators and a group of zombies.

"Any chance to be a zombie," said Paula Luna of Port Vue, who was wearing makeup with blood dripping from her mouth.

More than 30 organizations

have committed to a series of events over the next month, including screenings, lectures and festivities, to recognize Romero's work and highlight Pittsburgh as a destination to learn about his impact on American pop culture.

The Byham will feature a special screening at 8 p.m. Saturday of "Night of the Living Dead," which was digitally restored by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The film was acquired by MoMA in 1980 and added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1999.

Romero's widow, Suzanne Desrocher-Romero, announced the formation of the George A. Romero Foundation, which will support local independent and genre films and filmmakers.

"For me, it's very important that

we remember George, his movies.

But what's also important is that we move forward, we go ahead, we have a future," she said.

Desrocher-Romero had a question for Mayor Bill Peduto: "Why isn't there a horror museum in Pittsburgh? It's baffling to me that we don't have a horror hall of fame."

The mayor, who attended, was noncommittal but said plenty of people in the crowd would likely support the venture.

Lori Cardille, daughter of the late Pittsburgh television and radio show host Bill Cardille, who had a part in "Night of the Living Dead," said she attended the premiere 50 years ago with her father.

"I was 14 years old, and I was so afraid of horror movies that I stood in the back of the lobby the whole time," she said. "I was terrified."

forming an exorcism on Brooklyn.

Riley, Grace and Alexis seem like bubble-gum-popping mean girls at first, but as the story continues, they are revealed to be way more maniacal.

“Paper Towns” by John Green “Love the Way You Lie” (ft. Rihanna) In the middle of the night, Margo Roth Spiegelman enlists Quentin Jacobsen on a quest for revenge.

After a wild night of getting back at her peers, Margo disappears, and Quentin cannot let it go, searching for her during most of the story. He conducts his own investigation of sorts and eventually realizes that Margo is not the person he thought she was. Quentin gets closer to figuring out what happened, but lies pop up everywhere he looks. Quentin cannot let Margo go, no matter how much she hurts him, making the novel and “Love the Way You Lie” perfect for each other.

“A Darker Shade of Magic”

by V. E. Schwab “Rap God” “A Darker Shade of Magic” is full of powerful characters who know they are capable of amazing things. “Rap God” has been called a lyrical masterpiece, and Schwab’s writing has received similar praise.

(Facebook) The books above align with themes from Eminem songs.

In a universe with parallels of the city of London, the main character Kell seems to dominate all of them, just as Eminem dominates hip-hop.

“Bossypants” by Tina Fey “The Real Slim Shady” “Bossypants” is Tina Fey’s autobiographical novel, littered with comedic and real-life experiences. Fey is the Slim Shady of her genre, full of other comedians attempting to be the best just like her. “Saturday Night Live” was a huge part of Fey’s background, just as hip-hop was for Eminem. In “Bossypants,” Fey discusses her life story and the problems she

faced, all while making readers laugh.

“I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons” by Kevin Hart and Neil Strauss “Without Me” Kevin Hart’s book gives insight into his life growing up in North Philadelphia and explains how he exploded into the world of comedy.

Hart discusses his hardships but maintains his sarcastic attitude, not unlike how Eminem raps. In “Without Me,” Eminem gets right to the point about how he is the best there is, therefore this song is perfect to listen to while reading Hart’s book.

IUP drops first game of season in Coal Bowl BRAD O’HARA

Staff Writer B.L.Ohara@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

IUP no longer holds the Coal Bowl trophy after suffering its first loss of the season in California, a place it hasn’t won a game at since 2006.

Paul Tortorella lost his first regular season game as the head coach of IUP, as the Vulcans took the win 36-24 in the 10th annual edition of the rivalry.

The Crimson Hawks offense came out swinging quickly, just as they have all season, taking an early lead and dominating most of the first quarter.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, quarterback Lenny Williams (senior, accounting) had a three-yard rushing touchdown to put the Crimson Hawks up 14-0.

However, the Vulcans were able to bounce back against IUP, something the Crimson Hawks have not seen since the first week of the season against Ashland.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, California put together a three-play, 51-second drive to score a touchdown before the end of the quarter.

The Vulcans continued to take charge in the second quarter, stepping up on defense to hold IUP’s dynamic offense scoreless while continuing to drive down the field on offense.

Going into halftime, IUP was leading by a close margin with a score of 14-10.

California’s dominance carried over into the third quarter on both sides of the ball.

The defense for the Vulcans was playing strong, holding the Crimson Hawk’s running game still and intercepting Williams first pass attempt in the second half.

That turnover led to a California drive that scored them a touchdown and gave them the lead.

Yet, Qashah Carter (freshman, kinesiology) was prepared to show the Vulcans why IUP was ranked second in the nation going into this game.

Off the kickoff, Carter returned the ball 95 yards for a touchdown and regained the lead for the Crimson Hawks, also resulting in various “player of the week” nods.

Carter has been a force to be reckoned with on special teams for the Crimson Hawks this season.

He has returned 12 kickoffs for

421 yards and is averaging 35 yards per return, which is the second most in all of Division II. However, Carter’s return did not give the Crimson Hawks the push they were hoping for as their defense still struggled to stop the Vulcan offense, and the IUP offense struggled to get going.

California continued to put together solid drives on offense and ended the third quarter with a sixpoint lead.

IUP’s defense began to tighten up, holding the Vulcan offense scoreless in the fourth quarter.

However, the fourth quarter didn’t result in nearly the offensive output they were hoping for.

With nine minutes left in the game, the Crimson Hawks started to drive down the field for what ended up being their last good drive of the game, but it was cut short by an interception at the goal line.

That interception would end up being the nail in the coffin for the Crimson Hawks as the turnover was returned 100 yards for a touchdown.

The loss pushes IUP to a dismal 3-7 in Coal Bowl games, though it still holds the all-time series over

California 62-28-2.

“Probably the two things that led to our downfall were turnovers and penalties,” head coach Paul Tortorella said. “Also, our inability to score points in the second half as well as get off the field on third down defensively.”

IUP will now look to bounce back

and continue its fight for dominance in the conference as it looks toward the next game when Slippery Rock comes to Indiana for the homecoming game.

The Rock also sits at 4-1 on the season, with their lone loss coming from Shippensburg University in Week 2.

Mahogany Willis (freshman, communications media) scored the game-winning goal in the first minute of the second sudden-death period to give the Crimson Hawks the victory.

Following a scoreless first half in Glenville, WV, in which the host Tigers recorded 12 shots, Salem drew first blood in the 57th minute and doubled its lead in the 64th minute to take a 2-0 advantage.

The Crimson Hawks responded quickly as Willis, who was subbed on in the 56th minute, scored the first of her two goals of the day in the 68th minute.

Kallie Conte (senior, safety sciences) tied the game at 2 in the 79th minute, which kept the game deadlocked until Willis’ winner.

Both the Crimson Hawks and Tigers played an offensive game, with Salem holding the edge in shots 21-14.

IUP goalie Maria Tunney (freshman, criminology) had 13 saves in the victory.

The Mauraders were the first ranked team IUP has faced since their landmark upset over Slippery Rock on Sept. 5, but the Crimson Hawks offense could muster up just five shots compared to 13 for Millersville.

IUP was also hurt by committing 11 fouls in that game, which saw the Mauraders score goals in the 13th and 57th minutes.

The 4-4-1 Crimson Hawks will take on Mansfield, who is just 1-8 this season, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at South Campus Field.

Tennis: With the PSAC Championships taking place in Bloomsburg, Katya Minchenkova (junior, management) was the best-performing Crimson Hawk, making it to the singles final before falling to Slippery Rock’s Lacey Cohen.

Minchenkova and teammate Julia Newman (sophomore, management) made the doubles semifinals before losing to a pair from Mercyhurst.

The pair also faced off in the singles semifinals with the 5-8 seed Minchenkova defeating No. 1 seed Newman.

Mariana Valenzuela (junior, biology) and Thais Andreotti (freshman, psychology) were the only other Crimson Hawks to advance past the tournament’s first day, losing in the doubles tournament semifinals as well to a pair from California.

The final matches of the season will come over the weekend as the

Maple Street Courts at IUP will host East Stroudsburg on Friday and Bloomsburg on Saturday.

Volleyball: The volleyball team dropped matches this weekend in straight sets to Mercyhurst and Gannon on Friday and Saturday respectively.

Jasmine Raudys (sophomore, natural sciences) recorded five total blocks against the Lakers, finishing with a season-high nine kills on 16 attacks, only recording one error.

Jess Marut (senior, marketing) put up a 20+ dig game for the second time this season, recording 23 against Mercyhurst.

Dominica Niccolai (sophomore, management) had 31 assists against the Lakers, and put up another 20 against Gannon.

The No. 21 Golden Knights improved to 16-1 with a 5-1 PSAC record with its victory over IUP. Raudys had four of the team’s seven blocks in the loss.

Past the first point of the first two sets, the Golden Knights did not trail in the match.

Tuesday is the annual “Dig Pink Match” in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month as the 6-13 Crimson Hawks (2-3 in the PSAC) face Clarion at the KCAC.
