iPod drive helps lift spirits of Alzheimer’s patients

By JENNIFER BUSH Lead News Writer J.L.Bush@iup.edu

An estimated 280,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s or dementia in Pennsylvania., according to the Alzheimer’s Association website.

Dr. Robert Witchel was on vacation in Boulder, Colo., when he stumbled upon the film festival that was showing the film “Alive Inside.” Immediately after the film, Witchel contacted Dan Cohen, who is executive director and founder of Music & Memory.

The Music & Memory program teaches nursing home staff to use iPods to bring them back to a time when they were younger and more able to communicate with others. The playlist is made by the family members, so the songs can be altered to each person’s liking. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, which is the decline in mental ability. Music in the nursing homes have proved to be better overall for Alzheimer’s or dementia patients.

Their moods are livelier, with some even tapping their feet and singing words of the songs they are listening to.

“It can change a lot in terms of reducing the use of medications,” Witchel said. “They are easier to engage, and it also provides support to people with dementia and their families, also.”

Witchel, 66, is an Indiana University of Pennsylvania professor in the counseling department in Stouffer Hall. He is also a Pennsylvania licensed psychologist and a national certified counselor, and he has been on the IUP faculty

News

since 1981.

Witchel noticed that the nursing homes in Western Pennsylvania weren’t using the Music & Memory program.

Although Witchel doesn’t work for Music & Memory, he knew he had to be involved after seeing a video on YouTube that shows dementia patient Henry. The video shows this older man – who has been in a nursing home for 10 years and is usually seen with his head down – not talking to people. After listening to music from his younger years, Henry is singing and tapping his toes. Briefly after the headphones are taken from his ears, he is able to recall memories and sing his favorite songs. This video can be accessed by searching “Alive Inside Film of Music and Memory” on YouTube.

“The goal is to introduce Music & Memory intervention process into nursing home facilities in Western Pennsylvania,” Witchel said.

Witchel is in the process of completing the Institutional Review Board papers at IUP to get the ball rolling on this project. He is also talking to local nursing homes to see who is interested.

He hopes to be involved in Music & Memory for a long time and thinks he will continue to do some volunteer work or training for as long as he can.

Anyone interested in donating to the Music & Memory project can email Dr. Robert Witchel at bwitchel@iup.edu.

Witchel is looking for gently used or new iPods, or iTunes gift cards. They can be dropped off at 206 Stouffer Hall at IUP. iPod shuffles are ideal, but any donation is appreciated.

AMIS club hosts first Tech Week

By MARY ROMEO Staff Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu

With the progressing advancement of technology, the Association of Management Information Systems of Indiana University of Pennsylvania hosted its first Tech Week from Oct. 13 through Thursday.

Deric Schmidt, (junior, management information systems), president of the AMIS club, and his other fellow committee members spent close to six weeks planning the event.

The purpose of Tech Week is to provide various events that will expose students to relevant tech-related topics in the business world.

“I created Tech Week because I believe that students at IUP do not receive enough exposure to technology as a whole,” Schmidt said.

“There is not a single class that stu-

dents can take to stay updated on all the latest trends and innovations, and even if there was, it simply would not be enough.”

The events included a 3-D printing demonstration, a tour of the IUP data center, a networking concepts presentation and a panel discussion on big data and information security.

On Oct. 13, Schmidt, Vice President Nate Adams and Dr. James Rodger explained the medical, food and manufacturing uses of 3-D printing. A demonstration was also presented with Rodger’s own 3-D printer.

Schmidt explained the benefits of 3-D printing, as it is less expensive and wasteful. However, one of the negative aspects is the possibility of the printing of weapons, which is something that can be worked on to try and prevent.

Dr. Micki Hyde, adviser for AMIS club, added, “With any kind of technology, there is potential for abuse and

misuse.”

“Technology is constantly and forever changing,” Schmidt said, “which is why it is so inherently difficult to educate people about. Tech Week may have been just a small step, but it was certainly a step in the right direction.”

On Thursday, four panelists conducted a Q & A style discussion about information security.

One piece of advice given to students was to change passwords to a phrase because password hacking is the most prevalent aspect of online theft.

The information provided at the events during Tech Week was meant to encourage students to learn about the constant change and adaptation of technology.

“If I motivated at least one person to do their own research into any field of technology at all,” Schmidt said, “I will consider Tech Week to have been a success.”

The service sorority Gamma Sigma Sigma held a zumbathon Sunday at Indiana University of Pennsylvania to raise money for USO. USO is of great importance to the sisters of this sorority, especially to Annjanett Prechtl (senior, criminology), who has a long line of family members who served the country.

“The organization helps the families to make sure they are not alone if a

loved one is hurt during their service,” Prechtl said. “They will send the family over or help send the soldier home, and they also will help with medical supplies, such as prosthetics.”

The sorority chose to donate to USO because of a few reasons that hit home for the women.

“Not only does this service connect with our families’ backgrounds – it is a group that many people on campus have not heard about,” Stephanie Lukas (senior, hospitality management) said.

“The donations go directly to helping

the families and needs of the men and women serving.”

The event had a large turnout with the whole sorority’s help. Others involved included members of Gamma Sigma Sigma from other region’s chapters and Linda Parrish Sullivan, the organization’s adviser and assistant professor in the department of hospitality management. Volunteers from Phi Delta Theta also contributed.

The dancing went on all day, but people who bought tickets could come and go as they pleased.

The program was professionally led, according to Lukas.

“The zumabathon was led by certified instructors and sisters that were in dance school,” she said.

Sponsors of the zumbathon also donated gifts for the attendees.

Sheetz donated a $50 gift card, and the Pittsburgh Pirates donated a special prize.

The tickets to participate cost $3 per person or $25 per group and brought in $150 for Gamma Sigma Sigma to donate to USO. The sorority is encouraging people to continue to donate until Nov. 15. Students can do so by giving the donation to the Greek Life office. Anyone with questions can email HHBS@iup.edu.

Study Abroad discussed at Six O’Clock Series

By CASEY KELLY Staff Writer C.E.Kelly2@iup.edu

Studying abroad can be a scary, overwhelming idea to students. To answer lingering questions and share their experiences abroad, three Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumni spoke at yesterday’s Six O’Clock series, “The Impact of Studying Abroad on Your Future.”

Nick Karas, Leah Marmo and Chad Buckwalter are all accomplished IUP graduates who share a love for travel and extremely rewarding experiences overseas.

Karas, a 2006 IUP graduate with a bachelor’s degree in geography, is now a chef at Nap’s Cucina Mia on Philadelphia Street after studying abroad at a culinary school in Florence, Italy.

Marmo, a 2010 graduate, is now a social worker in Pittsburgh.

She studied abroad in Poland to complete the research requirement for her bachelor’s degree in psychology.

Buckwalter, a 2009 graduate, studied abroad in China to fulfill his international business degree.

He also earned a bachelor’s degree in Asian studies during his time at IUP. The speakers touched on many topics during the panel discussion.

Moderator Jessica Halchak, assistant director of education abroad in the Office of International Education, posed questions about the speakers’ times abroad and how they have affected their professional lives.

“Every day was a challenge, and every day was something new,” Marmo said about her experience in Poland.

“So, what I took from that was to always take every opportunity, and that really gives me an edge at my work.”

One strong message that all of the speakers agreed with was for students to take advantage of the opportunity they have now to study abroad.

They explained how fast life happens: Marriage, jobs and kids, while blessings, are huge limiting factors to travel.

Now, the college years, is the time to embrace freedom and explore.

“I made great steps while I was there [in Italy] as a person and as a thinker,” Karas said.

CHECK OUT FRIDAY’S EDITION OF The

“Having the time without American culture and television to focus on completely changed my life. It was a chance to really realize how big the world is, as well as I became terrified with the thought of how little of it I’m going to get the chance to see.”

Buckwalter said that students should not be worried about money when considering studying abroad.

“I’ve learned not to worry about money,” he said.

“If I want to go somewere, I just pick up my backpack and go, as long as I have my plane ticket, I can survive.”

Many resources are available for students who want to study abroad but think they are limited by finances.

IUP has programs that allow students to pay in-state tuition and out-ofstate fees while abroad, thus making it very affordable, according to Halchak Students who are interested in studying abroad are encouraged to attend the Education Abroad Fair Wednesday, from noon-3 p.m. in the HUB atrium.

There are study abroad workshops every Wednesday in B-39 Delaney Hall at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Police arrest two Ferguson protesters in clash with fans outside football game

By SAMANTHA LISS St. Louis Post-Dispatch MCT

ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Rams fans and Ferguson protesters fought Sunday afternoon outside the Edward Jones Dome after the Rams beat the visiting Seattle Seahawks.

About 3 p.m. Sunday, a handful of fans argued with protesters, who were yelling and chanting.

St. Louis police arrested two protesters. One was a 49-year-old woman.

The other was her 17-year-old daughter.

Police did not release the names of the women.

The older woman was arrested on suspicion of two counts of seconddegree assault. She also was arrested for one count of third-degree assault after allegedly punching a woman, 55, in the eye. The victim was treated by paramedics at the scene.

The 17-year-old was booked on suspicion of two counts of third-degree assault. Police say she spit in the face of a man, 47, and then punched him in the eye. She also spit in the face of another

man, 35.

The mother and daughter who were arrested are black. All of the victims are white, police say.

The clash happened between two groups of about 20 to 25 people each, police say. The protesters were part of the Michael Brown protest upset with the fatal shooting in Ferguson on Aug. 9. Some in the protest crowd carried signs that read, “Justice for Mike Brown” and “Indict Darren Wilson.”

Wilson is the officer who shot Brown; a grand jury is considering the case.

As the Rams fans were leaving the game, the protesters were chanting, “The whole damn system is guilty as hell.” Yelling between the two groups escalated into a melee, and punches were thrown.

At one point during the scuffle, a protester carrying an upside-down American flag used the pole as a weapon, attempting to jab a fan with the pole. A short time later, after the initial confrontation, a different fan grabbed the flag and ran with it for a brief period; protesters then wrestled the flag back.

Think before you pink With October already three weeks in the books, it’s hard not to have noticed the month has been increasingly painted pink for breast cancer awareness over the last few years.

Because of this, a new industry of pink products have taken supermarkets and department stores by storm.

Consumers flood to quickly snatch up these to show off pink pride and show hope for finding a cure to the disease, which is the No. 2 cancer for women, other than skin cancer.

While showing support for the roughly 40,000 women who die from breast cancer each year is a kind gesture, it is also very important to make sure that the money you think you are donating is actually going to the cause.

Because the pink ribbon, like the one that has run on the cover of The Penn all October, is not regulated by one agency, according to the Better Business Bureau, companies take advantage of consumers by simply placing the ribbon on products.

However, some of those products don’t give as much money – or any – to charities.

Since 2008, players in the NFL have worn pink gloves, towels and other apparel on the field during October games to support the fight against breast cancer.

However, in an Oct. 2013 Business Insider article, it was revealed that half of revenue from pink merchandise sales goes back to the retailer, while “only 8.01 percent of money spent on pink NFL merchandise is actually going toward cancer research.”

On the opposite end of the spectrum, some corporations put the pink ribbon on products that contain known carcinogens.

Breast Cancer Action coined the term “pinkwashing” to describe this action, with some of the guilty parties including Campbell’s Soup and, ironically, the Susan G. Komen Foundation, after the charity produced a fragrance that contained two toxic chemicals.

So, with October winding down, make sure to check out tags of pink merchandise to be sure you know exactly where all your money is going.

It’s good to support the pink movement, but it’s important to do some simple research first.

Some women are depending on it.

Octoberfest featured famous illusionist Tim Kutch and various vendors

By ANDREW MILLIKEN Lead Wet Ink Writer A.P.Milliken@iup.edu

A potpourri of celebrations, including an appearance by renowned illusionist Tim Kutch, occurred in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room Sunday afternoon at the Balck Emphasis’ Octoberfest event.

The annual, daylong event included various vendors selling different products, food and a friendly atmosphere.

Supporting local businesses was an added plus of the event, and its aim was to improve relations between the Indiana community and students attending the university.

While traditional October-themed celebrations incorporate German-style food and drinks like bratwurst and beer, Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Octoberfest focused on a more Halloween-like autumn atmosphere, from the decor to the event’s dark green and orange poster.

While the event included different

performers and local acts, the highlight of the afternoon was, without a doubt, Kutch.

Kutch, who grew up in Kittanning, has toured extensively across the United States, performing for various A-list celebrities and on arguably the nation’s biggest stage for magicians and illusionists: Las Vegas.

While Kutch is a master illusionist, his comedic personality added familiarity and intimacy to his performance and made the spectacular seem even more so.

Kutch added twists to classic tricks – like making a card reappear in a strange place or turning a green Ben Franklin into a Washington – by having audience members sign the objects, removing all doubt that he could duplicate the personalized object.

Quotes from Kutch’s website about his performances include former Steelers running back Willie Parker saying, “Whoa! Do that again!” as well as promotion from Academy-Award-winning writer and actor Matt Damon.

Kutch’s website also reveals the different size of the shows that he regularly performs.

While IUP’s student audience received Kutch’s smaller-scale performance, his abilities as a magician go far beyond card tricks.

Larger shows usually incorporate Houdini-style escape acts and what appear to be life-threatening illusions, involving rigs that would make heads spin in a weak-stomached crowd.

While the illusions performed by Kutch were almost nothing short of real magic, someone as dedicated to his craft as Kutch was able to swindle the audience into the belief that he was really defying the laws of nature.

As Michael Caine says in the closing of 2006’s illusionist thriller “The Prestige,” “You want to be fooled.”

‘Gone Girl’ receiving rave reviews in theaters

By MARY ROMEO Staff Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu

SPOILER ALERT Let’s just say it now. Movies will never provoke the imagination and emotion we feel when creating a world through the pages of a book.

And I know what you’re all thinking: When one of your favorite books gets turned into a feature film, you instinctively imagine all the ways it could go wrong.

However, “Gone Girl,” released Oct. 3, is a movie adaption that lives up to the high standards set by Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel.

After just three weeks in the box office, “Gone Girl” has already earned itself a spot on the top 250 best-rated movies at No. 75, according to IMDb’s website.

Flynn’s “Gone Girl” is the definition of a page-turner.

From its quick wit, cunning humor and alternating perspectives, everything about it makes you not want to put it down.

Director David Fincher transformed the book into one of the most anticipated films of the fall, with Flynn as the screenwriter.

Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) finds himself scrutinized by the media when he is accused of killing his wife, Amy Elliot Dunne (Rosamund Pike) on their fifth anniversary.

The police get the sense Nick isn’t revealing everything he knows, as several questions go unanswered, and his relaxed and unconcerned attitude sends red flags.

As Nick tells his side of the story to the police, Amy retells hers through diary entries as voice-overs and flashbacks.

It’s extremely difficult to turn a 417page book into a motion picture.

ute time period, or do you extend the length and potentially put your viewers to sleep?

Luckily, “Gone Girl”’s 149-minute run was so well-paced that you didn’t even feel the need to glance at your watch.

Along with perfectly timed scenes, the cast was chosen carefully and precisely, and their performances depicted the personalities in the book flawlessly.

Even some of the wording in the movie was identical to the sentences in the book – especially the beginning and end – which are the most crucial parts of the story.

Without Flynn and Fincher working together as a team to build this masterpiece, it could have gone terribly, terribly wrong.

“Gone Girl” is an excellent representation of how a fairy-tale love can turn to turmoil by way of resentment, hostility and possibly even murder.

IUP Symphony Orchestra gave students an appreciation for classical music

(Photos by Alex Robinson/ The Penn) The IUP Symphony performed Thursday for groups of faculty, students and Indiana community members.

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Symphony Orchestra is good enough to make even classical music entertaining, which is some of the highest praise anyone can give.

Their performance Thursday in the Gorell Recital Hall was both interesting and engaging, due in large part to the choice of music.

The first piece performed was “The Carnival of the Animals,” originally created as a private satirization of a dinner party.

“The Carnival” is really just disparate and short musical bits, with such whimsical titles as “The Wild Asses” and “Personages with Long Ears” combined together to form a larger whole.

The small pieces were separated by dean of fine arts Michael Hood’s reading of humorous bits of poetry relating to the subject of the music.

Reinforcing the carnival atmosphere even more was the constant switching of pianists, from Dr. Henry Wong Doe to senior piano performance major Andrew Milliken and back again, with a grand total of eight pianists rotating in and out.

“The Carnival of the Animals” is an

excellent choice for introducing people to the world of classical music.

The second piece performed was “Petite Suite” by Claude Debussy, considered to be one of the first pieces of impressionist orchestral music.

“Petite Suite” began slowly as a languid musical interpretation of boats sailing serenely across still water but soon escalated into a happy, frenzy representative of festival tunes.

The final musical piece performed was “Symphony No. 2 in D Major,” which was written by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Like “Petite Suite,” “Symphony No. 2” was comprised of four movements, each sounding much like one would expect Beethoven’s music to sound.

The last movement, though, was actually inspired by Beethoven’s storied gastrointestinal issues and was interesting, to say the least.

Everyone in the orchestra performed excellently.

Not once was the performance slowed by an off-tempo performer or a wayward note.

Everyone – from the conductor to the violinists to the xylophonist – was close to perfect.

All in all, the orchestra was a magnificent introduction to classical music.

Turnovers haunt IUP in Coal Bowl loss to Cal With six turnovers, Crimson Hawks ousted for seventh time in eight years by Vulcans

By DAKOTA LONDON Contributing Writer D.S.London@iup.edu

Saturday’s Coal Bowl was perhaps the biggest game for Indiana University of Pennsylvania to date, but it was also the epitome of a missed opportunity for the football team.

The Crimson Hawks could’ve catapulted to first FOOTBALL place in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West against the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans at Adamson Stadium.

IUP continuously shot themselves in the foot, however, falling to the Vulcans 21-13.

The loss came in a game in which the Hawks dominated the Vulcans for the majority of the sixth annual Coal Bowl – almost gaining 500 total yards and holding the ball for more than 34 minutes.

Head coach Curt Cignetti explained the loss.

“Turnovers were the deciding factor,” he said. “We had six. They had one.”

Crimson Hawks quarterback Chase Haslett (graduate, sports management) threw three interceptions – two of which were in the end zone, and one of which came on the Hawks last attempt

to tie up the game. He lost two fumbles, and the Hawks also had a field goal attempt blocked that was returned by the Vulcans for a touchdown.

“The ball just happened to bounce our way a couple times today, and we were able to come out with the victory,” California coach Mike Kellar said.

“We’ll take it.”

Cignetti’s feelings were the opposite.

“I’m really proud of our effort that we didn’t give up,” Cignetti said. “I’m really disappointed because I totally came in here expecting to win, and it was there for the taking. But we didn’t do the things we needed to do to win.

We had too many critical mistakes.”

Nonetheless, the Crimson Hawks had some impressive plays.

Wide receiver Drew Carswell (senior, criminology) tied a school record with 15 catches, tallying 150 yards receiving.

Tight end Brock DeCicco had a stellar game, with career-highs of 11 catches for 111 yards. Aside from his turnovers, Haslett had a career day, going 33-44 passing for 359 yards.

However, Haslett took the blame for IUP’s loss.

“It’s all on me,” he said. “I put this team in a bad situation. We should have won that game. My interceptions and my turnovers, my bad reads and my bad throws – I take the blame. I let the team down.”

Carswell and Cignetti rushed to

Brett Ullman (senior, management) prepares to kick for the Crimson Hawks.

Haslett’s defense to assure him no loss can be put on one player.

“It’s not his fault,” Carswell said.

“We’d never put it on one guy. It’s a team game. There are aspects to every play that weren’t perfect. It wasn’t just him. Everybody made mistakes. We’ll all take the blame and move on.”

“I think there are a lot of plays he’d like to have back, but he also made a lot of good plays, too,” said Cignetti.“The quarterback gets too much credit, and the quarterback gets too much blame.

Chase made a lot of good plays today.”

Early in the third quarter, the Vulcans had a 21-3 lead after Rodney Ginn blocked a 37-yard field goal attempt by Brett Ullman, and Corey Ford ran 48 yards on the recovery for a touchdown.

After that, IUP seemed to dominate the game.

They out-gained the Vulcans 23568, but by then, the hole was simply too deep to come out of.

There were opportunities for the Crimson Hawks to take control of the

(Nick Dampman/ The Penn)

game, but it just wasn’t in the cards.

“We had a chance at the end there,” Haslett said, “but if I didn’t make those costly mistakes in the first half, we wouldn’t have been in that situation.”

With the loss, the Hawks are in a tough spot.

“Guys will be hurting tonight a bit,” Cignetti said, “but we’ve got to get ready for Slippery Rock because there’s still a lot at stake. It’s a big game, and I’m confident that we will [bounce back]. We’ve got no choice.”

Crimson Hawks swim team captures 20 victories at Spire Open

By JUSTIN GERWICK Staff Writer J.L.Gerwick@iup.edu

The Crimson Hawks swimming team got an early start to their success this season.

Nine swimSWIMMING mers combined to capture 20 victories at the Spire Open in Geneva, Ohio, to get the season started for

12

the Hawks.

Zach Fountain (senior, regional planning) took home awards from three individual events. They included honors in the 100- and 200-yard breast stroke as well as the 200-yard Individual Medley.

Ben Adams (junior, criminology) and Brandon Hopkins (senior, exercise science) followed up by winning two events each of their own.

Adams won first in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly, while Hopkins

placed first in the 400 IM and the 1000yard freestyle.

Alex Pimpton (junior, accounting) and Andrew Richey (sophomore, applied math) each took home awards in one event.

Pimpton won the 500 freestyle, while Richey placed first in the 100 freestyle.

Rudy Da Costa (graduate, accounting) returned to the pool after taking a year off and placed first in the 200-yard backstroke.

The men were also victorious in the

October 21, 2014

200 freestyle relay and the 200 medley relay.

For the women, Aniella Janosky (sophomore, accounting) placed first in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly.

Beatriz Gonzalez (freshman, business) was new to the team, but she didn’t waste time adding her honors.

She won the 500- and 100-yard freestyle competitions.

Taylor Snyder (senior, family and consumer science) rounded out the individual honors with a win in the 50-

yard freestyle.

The women also placed first in the 200-yard freestyle relay.

Last season, the men’s team finished with a regular season record of 3-2 and made it to day three of the NCAA Championships.

The women’s team finished 6-0 and made it to day four of the NCAA Championships, where graduates Allyson Mitidieri and Christina Janoski broke IUP records in the 200-yard breast stroke and 1650-yard freestyle.

Crimson Hawks fall to No. 2 West Chester in field hockey

By JAKE ENDERS Staff Writer J.G.Enders@iup.edu

Battling the elements and a formidable opponent, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s field hockey team fell to West Chester University 5-1 on Saturday at George P. Miller Stadium.

Played on a chilly day with rain falling intermittently throughout, the FIELD HOCKEY loss dropped IUP’s record to 5-7 on the season and 4-6 within the Pennsylvania State Athletics Conference.

Despite the lopsided score, IUP head coach Gary Agard found many positives in his team’s performance.

“Our kids play with a lot of heart,” he said. “We play with a lot of intensity. I’m very proud of the effort that we gave.”

Forward Chelsea Wanamaker (senior, psychology) scored the lone goal

for the Crimson Hawks, pushing her season total to three, tied for the team lead.

Goalkeeper Darian Shuker (senior, business) made 10 saves in the net, and five players recorded shots for the Crimson Hawks.

Although excuses can’t be made for the outcome of a game, Agard said that his team is battling injuries.

The Crimson Hawks’ numerous ailments have thrust inexperienced players into immediate action in frontline roles.

“The freshmen are stepping up,” Agard said. “We had five or six freshmen starting against a quality team.”

West Chester (10-1, 7-1 PSAC) opened the scoring on a penalty shot goal at 12:02 of the first half.

The Golden Rams scored twice more – once at the end of the first half and once at the beginning of the second – before Wanamaker answered for IUP, cutting the deficit to 3-1.

However, West Chester came back with a goal just over two minutes later to regain its three-goal advantage over

the Crimson Hawks.

A tally in the final minutes made the final score 5-1.

“That’s a good team,” Agard said of the Golden Horns.

“I thought we played really good against them. The score doesn’t indicate how we played.”

West Chester currently sits at No. 2 in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll.

The Golden Rams, who have now won three straight games, are also in second place in the PSAC, with their only loss coming against top-ranked Millersville University.

IUP is now on the outside looking in at the PSAC playoff picture.

The Crimson Hawks are in seventh place, with only six teams advancing to the postseason.

It will be an uphill climb, but Agard has faith in his team’s ability to pull it off.

“We always have a fighting chance,” he said. “We have five more games. You never know what’s going to happen.”

Gabriela Feaser (freshman, undeclared) drives for IUP.

IUP finishes second at PSAC Championships

IUP falls to Kutztown

By MICHAEL KIWAK

By CASSIE PUTT

Lead Sports Writer M.T.Kiwak@iup.edu

The men’s golf team of Indiana University of Pennsylvania rebounded from a subpar first round to finish second at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championships Sunday in Hershey.

The Crimson Hawks opened up the two-round, eightteam tournament GOLF sluggishly, coming in fifth after the first round with a 311. The second round was a different story, however, as the team surged back to score a 296, giving it a combined score of 607.

IUP finished just three strokes shy of claiming the crown, as West Chester University emerged victorious with a 604.

Individually, Kenny Sames (junior,

business) and Jack Owen (senior, sports administration) propelled the Crimson Hawks.

Sames tallied a six-over 147, which tied him for third with West Chester’s Eric Slawter. He finished only one stroke off of a three-way tie for first place with Gannon University’s Matt Barto and Millersville’s Rob Rowe. Barto would end up taking home the individual title.

While he placed well, Sames was disappointed in his play.

“I have a lot of work to do to be where I want to be,” he said. “I have high expectations and those need to be met.

“I’ll take my third place finish and learn from it.”

As for Owen, he finished in fifth place with a nine-over 151. Following Owen was Brett Geiser (junior, management), who placed in a tie for 12th with a 12-over 154.

Also golfing for the Crimson Hawks were Michael Hoare (freshman, marketing) and Max Kirsch (sophomore, busi-

ness). Hoare tied for 18th by scoring a 14-over 156, while Kirsch finished 25th.

This performance marks the second consecutive fall in which the Crimson Hawks failed to capture the PSAC Championship, and it comes after the team won six straight titles from 20072012.

“We’re a team with high expectations,” Sames said, “and when they are not met, we are not thrilled. We need to get to work and get our games where they need to be for next weekend.”

Owen was more optimistic, commending his team’s effort.

“We were always on the back foot due to our play on day one,” he said.

“Having said that, the boys dug deep today, and for a second we thought we may have won it. Not to be. Now, we have to focus on playing well in our last event of the semester.”

The final event will be the Oct. 2728 Lenoir Rhyne’s Rock Barn Collegiate Invitational in Conover, N.C., the site of the 2015 NCAA Division II Cham-

Staff Writer C.L.Putt@iup.edu

After a 4-1 win over Davis & Elkins College, Indiana University of Pennsylvania fell short 3-1 in competition against Kutztown University Saturday.

The Crimson Hawks are now 8-5-2 overall and 7-5-1 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. The team has dropped to seventh place within the conbecause SOCCER ference of its recent string of three straight losses.

The Golden Bears outshot IUP 2212, scoring two in the first half and one in the latter.

With only 12 minutes in the game, Victoria Crawford (freshman, business) scored IUP’s lone goal, assisted

by Riley Bartoo (freshman, nutrition).

As pressure to score increased toward the end of the match, Crawford “tried to create as many opportunities as [she] could by staying positive and not letting [her] head down.”

Even with 12 shots on Kutztown’s keeper, the Hawks were unable to execute more than one goal.

“It was a little disappointing,” Palluconi said, “but we will improve that before the next game. We were just unlucky.”

Jessica Printz (sophomore, athletic training) played a full 90 minutes while preventing eight shots from the Golden Bears.

IUP now has a full week of practice before its next game. “[Coach] will have us practice different ways to attack and practice movement between defense and offense,” Bartoo said.

IUP is back on South Campus Field Saturday to play Clarion University at 1:30 p.m.
