ROTC celebrates its seniors with formal military ball

By CATHARYN PILCH Contributing Writer C.M.Pilch@iup.edu

ROTC seniors – dressed in their Army service uniforms – entered the room at the Indiana Country Club on Friday under an arch of sabers.

They were introduced and escorted as they entered the dining-out, which was hosted by the ROTC program. The event is a celebration of military tradition but also honored the 22 graduating ROTC seniors, including one senior in the program at Saint Francis University.

“Every mistake you make, you learn from,” said guest speaker Col. Matthew Rauscher, a 1995 IUP graduate and commander of the second ROTC brigade. “My biggest mistake was also probably the greatest learning lesson ever.”

Rauscher was referring to the time he was a platoon leader and accidentally put a Bradley, an armed troop carrier, in a 12-foot ditch.

He had to report the incident to his battalion commander, who proceeded to tell Rauscher about one of his own mistakes and said

(Catharyn Pilch/ The Penn) Army soldiers associated with IUP’s ROTC program posed with their awards Friday at Indiana Country Club.

“I’m still standing” to follow up the story.

“Whatever it is … master your skill set,” Rauscher said. “Own it.

Just go do it.”

Several awards were given to the seniors, including one to Cadet Elizabeth Coppella (exercise science). She received her award for being in the top 10 percent of

all graduating army ROTC seniors in the nation. This is determined by placement on an Order of Merit List (OML), which is based on many items including GPA, physical fitness test score, rank at advanced training camp and points for some extracurricular activities.

any more than anyone else in our class,” Coppella said. “We have such a strong class.”

After graduation, she wants to complete her Ph.D. in physical therapy.

She applied to schools and is waiting for replies.

This is the first time attending a dining-out for Cadet Regan Grove

(freshman, nursing).

“I like the formality of it,” Grove said. “It is something different to see than what we normally do. I like seeing how people are decorated (having awards and accomplishments).”

“I came to IUP last year as a sophomore,” said Cadet Walt Lober (junior, criminology and political science).

This is the second dining-out he attended.

“This is a break from the regular, old routine of PT (physical training),” Lober said, “and lab, which is basic soldier skills class, including anything from first aid to land navigation to attacking the enemy. It’s nice to dress up, see everyone and their significant others.”

Cadet Dakota Keith (senior, criminology) was the officer in charge of planning the ball. He began planning in January.

“A lot of work went into it,” Keith said.

Approximately 85 cadets from IUP and Saint Francis attended, along with their dates, family members and alumni, totaled about 196 people, according to Keith.

Rauscher is the brigade commander of the IUP ROTC program as well as 41 other ROTC programs.

He said he is amazed by how much has not changed.

“These cadets are still getting the same kind of training from such a relatively small institution and producing such a large number of lieutenants that do phenomenally well,” Rauscher said. “That has been the tradition of what IUP ROTC has been for as long as I’ve known it.”

N. Korea offers to give up nuclear arms, Trump administration seems skeptical

By MATT STILES and LAURA KING

Tribune Washington Bureau TNS

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised at a meeting with his South Korean counterpart last week to give up his nuclear arms in exchange for a U.S. pledge not to attack his country, a spokesman for the South Korean president said Sunday.

Top aides to President Donald Trump signaled skepticism, but insisted that the president’s unconventional diplomacy had already yielded greater achievements than his predecessors could claim in reining in the North’s rogue nuclear and ballistics program.

Kim also offered to allow in experts and journalists from the United States and South Korea to witness the shutdown next month of the North’s only known nuclear testing site, according to Yoon Young-chan, a South Korean presidential spokesman.

In his talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, Kim also sought to dispel the notion that the promise to shut down the nuclear testing site under Mount Mantap was an empty gesture because it had become too unstable to use anyway after the North’s sixth and most powerful nuclear test to date, in September.

“Some say that we are terminating facilities that are not functioning, but you will see that we have two more tunnels that are bigger than the existing ones, and that they are in good condition,” Yoon quoted Kim as saying.

This month, North Korea said it had suspended its nuclear tests, along with ballistic-missile tests, and announced plans to shut down the test site.

In the meeting with Moon, Kim insisted he did not want to threaten the United States or anyone else, according to the South Korean presidential spokesman.

While the two leaders talked of working toward “complete denuclearization” of the Korean Peninsula, their meeting yielded no agreements on verification, or set any timetable for steps toward that end.

“Once we start talking, the United States will know that I am not a person to launch nuclear weapons at South Korea, the Pacific or the United States,” Kim said, according to Yoon.

(TNS) North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, left, walked with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on April 27 during a welcome ceremony at the border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone, South Korea.

South Korea’s presidential palace said Kim wants a U.S. commitment to bringing a formal end to the Korean War. The 1950-53 conflict ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, so the two sides technically remain in a state of war.

“If we maintain frequent meetings and build trust with the United States and receive promises for an end to the war and a nonaggression treaty, then why would we need to live in difficulty by keeping our nuclear weapons and suffer?” the North Korean leader asked, according to the South Korean account. “We will not repeat the painful history of the Korean War.” Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, said Kim’s seemingly conciliatory rhetoric was not being accepted at face value, and indicated that no easing of sanctions against North Korea would take place until there was a commitment to full denuclearization.

Crediting American pressure with nudging North Korea along, Bolton said the Trump administration would demand evidence that Kim’s pledges were “real and not just rhetoric.”

“We’ve heard this before,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” adding that “the North Korean propaganda playbook is an infi-

nitely rich resource.” Interviewed separately on “Fox News Sunday,” Bolton said “nobody is starryeyed” about the North following through on promises.

In a symbolic yet practical gesture of cooperation, Kim also told Moon that North Korea would set its clocks to match South Korean time, Yoon said. Since 2015,

the North had declared itself a separate time zone, half an hour behind that observed in Seoul and Tokyo.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was still the CIA director when he met with Kim over Easter weekend, played down concerns that Trump’s meeting with Kim, planned to take place in May or June, could be knocked off track if the president follows through on threats to withdraw the United States from the landmark nuclear accord with Iran.

“I don’t think Kim Jong Un is staring at the Iran deal and saying, ‘Oh goodness, if they get out of that deal, I won’t talk to the Americans anymore,’” Pompeo told reporters traveling with him Sunday on a flight from Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, to Israel.

Pompeo said Kim had “higher priorities, things that he is more concerned about” than whether the Trump administration would refuse by a May 12 deadline to waive sanctions against Tehran.

European allies who are party to the world powers’ accord with Iran have urged the U.S. administration to adhere to its international commitments or risk being seen as an untrustworthy partner.

North and South Korean leaders come together Continued from page 5.

French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel both came to Washington last week to personally lobby Trump to not undermine the nuclear accord, which was a signature achievement of his predecessor, President Barack Obama.

In an interview taped earlier in Riyadh and aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Pompeo sought to dispel the idea that Trump was naive in his approach to North Korea, which has a history of making promises to scale back its nuclear ambitions, and then reneging.

“This administration has its eyes wide open,” Pompeo said. “We know the history. We know the risks. We’re going to be very different – we’re going to negotiate in a different way than has been done before.”

Trump himself has dismissed critics’ concerns that in agreeing to the sit-down meeting

with Kim without preconditions, he was offering a murderously dictatorial regime an enormous boost in prestige.

“Things are going very well, time and location of meeting with North Korea is being set,” the president wrote Saturday on Twitter.

There is concern that North Korea has no intention of carrying through on promises of denuclearization – at least not without linking that to demands that the United States would probably find unacceptable.

North Korea has long sought the removal of nearly 30,000 U.S. troops from South Korea, and has railed against the existence of an American nuclear umbrella for Washington’s allies Japan and South Korea.

Trump has blown hot and cold on Kim, directing both harsh insults and lavish compliments at the young North Korean leader.

Last year, the U.S. president

derided Kim as “Little Rocket Man,” but last week, he praised him as “open and “honorable.”

Even some longtime critics of Trump acknowledged that his zigging and zagging might have led Kim to seek negotiations.

“I think it’s more than fair to say that the combination of the president’s unpredictability and bellicosity had something to do with the North Koreans deciding to come to the table,” Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., said on ABC’s “This Week.”

But Schiff also suggested it was dangerous to prematurely claim a breakthrough in dealing with the mercurial North Korean leader.

“Before the president takes too much credit, or hangs out the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner, he needs to realize we may go into a confrontational phase,” Schiff said. “And he may not want the full blame if things go south.”

Students reveal the toughest classes of their college careers

By VICTORIA CASSEL Staff Writer V.V.Cassell@iup.edu

For many college students, it’s important to find classes that give an easy “A.” But, sometimes, that proves difficult.

Miles Henderson (graduate, teaching English to speakers of other languages) said the hardest class he ever took was his independent study to Brazil.

Even though fewer than 2 percent of students study abroad, the experience of living and learning abroad can be very beneficial.

In the independent study, Henderson gained new perspectives, education and planning skills. For Henderson, the pros of his study included “being in a new environment and being forced to adapt to a different culture and society.”

“It expanded my views of reality and the nature of how others live and perceive the world,” Henderson said.

“The hardest class I ever took was my independent study to Brazil. I designed my entire curriculum, research and living arrangements for living in Brazil for three months. It was challenging because I was completely independent in a country where I didn’t know the language and had to design my own curriculum based on my experience.”

Nickolas Gati (junior, English education) said he “barely got by with a ‘C’” in the computer science 110 course.

Although he said the professor was nice and understanding, the course was still one of the hardest

he has ever taken in his college career.

“I had no coding experience and we were asked to code a lot,” Gati said. “The process of coding is time consuming and frustration.

So I was not prepared to do so much with the instructions I got.”

However, it wasn’t all bad for Gati since his professor was “able to help me out some.”

But other students were not as lucky as Gati to have courses that had clear, straightforward answers.

Diana Forry (graduate student, English composition/literature) said her hardest class was “definitely Holocaust literature taught by Dr. Gail Berlin, who just recently retired.”

“It is easier to incorporate criticism or theory into literature, but it’s not easy to deal with the emotional aspect that Holocaust literature evokes and is often the basis for why it is written,” Forry said. “There is no theory for that.

One of the first questions she asks was, ‘how do you describe the indescribable? Because that’s what Holocaust literature tries to do.’”

Spanish phonetics was Marina Seamans’ (senior, foreign languages) toughest class, she said.

As a major in Spanish and English, she said this was definitely a good course for her to take to improver her Spanish-speaking skills.

“It was something I had never learned before, even in English,” Seamans said. “It helped me tremendously in learning Spanish.

The con would be that it was a 400-level class. So I wasn’t able to take it sooner.”

OPINION

EDITORIAL

If you’re reading this, then you probably already know a little bit about us.

We are the staff of IUP’s student newspaper, The Penn. We have been studentrun since 1924 and editorially independent since 1980.

Recently, The Daily Campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, had to re-affiliate with its university. This publication was independent for 10 years, according to Poynter. While you may not see the problem in this, it is a very real threat to school papers everywhere.

A newspaper is supposed to give its readers truthful, unbiased facts. When a newspaper is stuck answering to another institution, this becomes impossible.

Imagine a wealthy company purchasing a news organization. This company would most likely promote itself in a positive light and hide any bad press. This is precisely why universities and the newspapers that report on them should not be affiliated.

There is always good news floating around campus, especially at IUP. Students win awards and scholarships almost every other day. Alumni donate millions of dollars in order to purchase new buildings. Orga-

nizations volunteer their time to help the community.

And we report on all these things.

But, it is also our job to report on the notso-good events.

Every year, IUP students inevitably trash Indiana during “IUPatty’s” weekend.

Police presence is heightened and dozens of people are sent to the hospital for alcohol-related incidents.

Students get kicked out of classrooms for disrupting the professor’s teaching.

Sometimes, they even go as far as contacting the press themselves to get the

story out there.

Countless times in only a few years, administration has discussed diversity on campus in direct response to students’ actions and tried to promote more respect.

But, racist Snapchats are still sent.

Racist fliers are still posted around campus. In short, people can be cruel.

Yes, this sheds a negative light on not only the individuals but also the university as a whole. We get that. University officials get that, and they try to promote only the good things and hide the bad to preserve the university’s image.

Sometimes, we and the administration seem to be on opposite sides of the fight, but we are both doing our jobs.

The Penn is lucky to be student-run. We are students still finding our way in the journalism world, and we are doing our best to give you the news and remain credible in the information we provide.

On April 25, Melissa Gomez, the editorin-chief of the Independent Florida Alligator at the University of Florida, called for action from universities across the nation.

She, along with two other editors, organized a social media campaign called #SaveStudentNewsrooms as part of the unofficial Support Student Journalism Day. The campaign’s purpose is to educate the public on the importance of student papers and why they need so much support – especially financial – to continue the fight for ethical and accurate standards in journalism around the country and the world.

The Penn stands with all student-run newspaper and supports The Daily Campus and every paper that had to re-affiliate with its institution through these hard times.

9th Street Deli ran through the tournament up until the Final Four, receiving more than three-fourths of the votes in each matchup to become the Other Division champion.

However, its Final Four matchup against International Division Champion Tres Amigos was a different story.

The odds seemed stacked against Romeo’s after Steel City tweeted on six seperate occasions that a few people could win free samiches for a year if it won the tournament.

But Romeo’s fanbase rallied around the Oakland Avenue restaraunt after it offered free large one-topping pizzas for retweets and sent a text message to subscribed customers.

Finally, the championship round is set. Will it be the collegefriendly pizza place or the oldfashioned-style deli?

Local acoustic artist’s album embraces diversity

By CAITLIN DENNY Staff Writer C.M.Denny@iup.edu

Local indie and electronic artist Doorstep Rebellion and indie and folk-rock singer-songwriter Alan Getto will play a free show at 9 p.m. Friday at H.R. Steinhouse.

The show is for those 18 and older.

Getto moved last year from Brooklyn, N.Y., to an unfinished farmhouse in Ligonier to get ready to release his first full-length album, “Versus,” and to go on tour to promote it. The album was released in August 2017. Much like Brooklyn and Ligonier, “Versus” blends the concept of urban and rural living. The album has electric and acoustic guitar elements, as well as both rock and folk.

The album was recorded over one long weekend at Studio 101A in Southern New Hampshire.

mastering engineer of the album.

“Versus” was inspired by oppositions such as nature versus the city, good versus bad and male versus female. Getto said that “one cannot exist without the other.”

“Versus” is a guitar-driven album with calming melodies. Getto studied literature, theology and philosophy at Hamphire College in Amherst, Mass., and his lyrics touched on these topics. Getto is inspired by rock, blues and folk music.

“This album forced me to learn how to play new roles, such as a recording artist, music business-

man and how to think in new ways about new things,” Getto said in an interview with Vents Magazine.

“It’s been a lot of fun, and I’m still learning and exploring.”

The writing process of “Versus” was “discontinuous,” Getto said.

“It’s a compilation of songs I accumulated over a few years and most of them were more or less unfinished, until the pressure of recording then forced me to make final decisions,” Getto said.

“Some lyrics were changed right before I went into the booth to sing them.”

Post Malone proves his authenticity with ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’

(Facebook) Post Malone released his sophomore album “Beerbongs & Bentleys” on Friday.

By SETH WOOLCOCK Culture Editor S.M.Woolcock@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

Austin Richard Post, professionally known as rapper Post Malone, bursted onto the scene in 2016 with the release of singles “White Iverson” and “Go Flex.”

On Dec. 9 that year, Malone released his debut album, “Stoney”

by Public Records. “Stoney” became double Platinum, selling more than two million copies.

On Friday, Malone returned with his sophomore album, “Beerbongs & Bentleys.”

Malone’s newest album already broke two records on Spotify.

“Cheers to @PostMalone ‘Beerbongs & Benytleys’ has broken the first-day streaming record both

globally (78,744,748) and in the U.S. (47,930,039),” Spotify tweeted Saturday.

The album contains 18 tracks, and “Regales fans with tales of hedonism and excess that 2016’s astoundingly popular ‘Stoney’ afforded him,” according to Apple Music’s album description.

The album begins with the track “Paranoid,” a rhythmic, fulfilling track that describes a feeling that most people have experienced: paranoia.

“Paranoid” is the perfect way for the Syracuse-raised rockstar kick off the album.

“Spoil My Night (feat. Swae Lee),” the second track on the album, is a catchy tune, especially if you enjoy Lee’s other music in his hip-hop group, Rae Sremmurd, that’s responsible for the 2016 hit song “Black Beatles.”

“Rich & Sad” begins with sad orchestra-sounding music.

The smooth intro, blended with Malone’s perfectly crafted bars and lyrics, can put listeners into a relaxed, feel-good state, making the track one of the overwhelming favorites on the album.

“Zach and Codeine” reminisces one of millennials’ favorite children TV shows, “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” a popular Disney Channel show that starred Dylan and Cole Sprouse in their adolescence as they lived in a hotel in Boston.

According to the track’s lyrics, since the success of “Stoney,” Malone’s life has been so sweet he “feels like Cody.”

“Takin’ Shots,” the fifth track on the album, will likely serve as a popular pregame song for college students.

The upbeat track describes one of students’ favorite activities: drinking all night.

The tracks “Over Now” and “Better Now” are catchy, fasttempo, pump-up songs.

The self empowering “Better Now” gives a shoutout to the once-famous Disney Channel stars, The Jonas Brothers.

Following the release, brothers Nick and Joe Jonas posted a video of themselves on Twitter, smoking cigars while listening to the track, giving their sign of approval to the 22-year-old phenom.

Malone teamed up with former rap star Nkki Manaj on “Ball For Me” and fellow rapper G-Eazy on “Same Bitches.” Both songs play to the strengths of the features and fit well with Malone’s style.

The accoustic-sounding track “Stay” was leaked a few weeks ago, when Malone was performing in Nashville, Tenn., as part of his “Bud Light Dive Bar Tour.”

Many fans of Post could compare “Stay” to “Feeling Whitney” on his previous album.

While “Stay” is fairly different from most of Malone’s music, it’s still well done.

If Malone ever gives up hip-hop and rap, some would think he could pursue an accoustic career.

Other solid listens found deeper within the album are tracks 11, “Otherside,” and the final track on the album, “Sugar Wraith.”

Also appearing on “Beerbongs & Bentleys” are three previosly released tracks. “rockstar (feat. 21 Savage)” was released Sept. 15 last year, while other lead single, “Psycho (feat. Ty Dolla $ign).”

“Candy Paint” was released last year as part of “The Fate of the Furious: The Album.”

While “Stoney” had some high quality tracks on it, “Beerbonngs & Bentley’s” might be just as good, if not better, because almost every track is worth the download for its uniqueness and craftiness.

In a world with mediocre hip-hop and rap becoming the mainstream, Post Malone and “Beerbongs & Bentleys” is anythig but that.

If readers want to find a relatable, authentic, good-vibing rap artist nowadays, Post is your guy, and “Beeerbongs & Bentleys” is your album.

‘Infinity War’ lives up to the hype

(Facebook) “Avengers: Infinity War” was released in theaters Friday.

By LAITH ZURAIKAT Staff Writer Laith.Zuraikat@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

If forced to choose one word to sum up “Avengers: Infinity War,” the latest comic book movie blockbuster from Marvel Studios, the best one to use would probably be “epic.”

From the scope and scale of the film itself to the sheer size of the cast and number of stars in the movie, Marvel shot for the moon with its latest entry into its cinematic universe (MCU) and managed to do an impressive job of sticking the landing.

“Infinity War” is essentially the beginning of the end for this generation of the MCU, as all of the Marvel films over the last decade have been, in one way or another, leading up to a final confrontation with the greatest villain the Marvel heroes have ever encountered.

“Infinity War” continues where many of the recent Marvel films had left off – with earth’s mightiest heroes spread across the universe.

However, with the appearance of a villain, Thanos, whose sole

goal is the destruction of half of humanity, the various heroes must band together yet again in order to defeat him. With stakes in the movie as high as they are – we are talking about the fate of the universe here – it was always going to be a struggle to maintain the humorous tone many of the previous Marvel films have done such a good job of incorporating. However, despite being labeled by some critics as the darkest Marvel movie to date, “Infinity War” still gets in a couple of jokes here and there to lighten the inevitable tension that comes with trying to save the lives of trillions of people.

That said, there is a sense of weight and seriousness to the

film that is perhaps matched only by 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War.” While “Civil War” focused on the internal strife of the Avengers.

“Infinity War” wasted little time on the battles that usually occur when different heroes meet each other, followed by their inevitable realization that they are on the same side and finally the decision to team up.

With a threat as great as Thanos facing pretty much every Marvel movie character, the focus is squarely on the battle to stop Thanos and his heralds.

While Marvel has briefly introduced this cosmic villain to audiences in previous movies, this is the first time Thanos has played a central role in the MCU. With that in mind, the movie quickly establishes just how dangerous the so-called “Mad Titan” is, as he kills off several established characters from previous movies in the first few minutes of the film.

While other comic book movies spend little time exploring the motivations and background of their villains, “Infinity War” tends to avoid this mistake, as the movie is as much about Thanos as it is the Avengers, which adds a depth to the character that helps to prevent the audience from dismissing him as “just the bad guy.” While it’s always nice to have a complex villain, at the end of the day, one of the main reasons these types of movies are so enjoyable is their fight scenes, and getting a chance to see iconic characters like Thor, Spider-Man and Captain America fighting evil side-by-side is a thrill. “Infinity War” fulfills this desire, as the movie features tons of great battle scenes that will surely leave fans content.

Another major strength of the film is that we get to see a bunch of unexpected and fun team-ups

and alliances. The only minor downside of trying to fit so many heavy hitters in the same movie is there is never going to be enough

screen time to give everyone an equal share. While “Infinity War” does its best to feature as many key players as it can into its almost-three-hour runtime, fans of some MCU characters could be mildly disappointed by the amount of coverage given to some of the favorites.

With “Infinity War” serving as the first entry in a two-part story, there undoubtedly will be plenty of time to give characters their proper due in the still-untitled sequel coming next year. That minor criticism aside, “Infinity War” mostly delivers on its promises, scoring yet another win for Marvel.

Friday’s Puzzle Solved

S PO R T S IUP baseball keeps postseason in P

reach after taking three of four

By ELLIOT HICKS Staff Writer

E.Hicks@iup.edu

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) postseason tournament is still in reach for the IUP baseball team, as the Crimson Hawks took three of four games in their weekend series against Seton Hill University.

The teams split the Friday doubleheader in Greensburg, with IUP taking Game 1, 4-2, and the Griffins taking Game 2, 5-4. The Crimson Hawks celebrated Senior Day on Sunday in Indiana with wins in both games by scores of 8-5.

Colin Claus (junior, kinesiology) picked up his third win of the season in the first game. He also accrued his second-highest strikeout total of the season, whiffing eight batters.

“Game 1 was a well-played baseball game by the whole team,” Claus said. “[It] set the tone for the rest of the series. I think we played loose and had fun.”

In Game 2, the Griffins jumped out to an early 3-0 lead but came back to tie the game on two separate occasions to knot the game at 4 heading into the seventh inning.

Seton Hill got the walk-off hit with IUP just one out away from extra innings.

The Crimson Hawks won the Sunday games by the same scoreline, but they took two different roads to get there. In the opener, the Griffins jumped out to an early 4-0 lead.

IUP took control in the third inning by scoring five runs. In the nightcap, the Crimson Hawks took a 6-2 lead by virtue of scoring three runs in each of the first two

12

innings and held on the whole way through.

It was a picture-perfect Senior Day for the 12 seniors honored Sunday. Dan Sepic (hospitality management) was one of seven seniors who had at least one hit.

“It will be nice to remember that, on our Senior Day, that we won both games,” Sepic said.

Another senior, Ted DeSanti (criminology) was honored with the team’s inaugural Owen J. Dougherty Player of the Year Award.

Dan Roan (graduate, employment and labor relations) had positive thoughts on the series as a whole.

“It was a great series,” Roan said. “I feel that I’m in a glass case of emotions with this upcoming weekend potentially being the last time I’ll be on a baseball field with these guys.”

But that might not be the case, as IUP sits three games out of the fourth and final seed in the PSAC Western Division.

IUP currently sits in sixth with a 10-14 conference record, directly behind its opponents this weekend, California University of Pennsylvania (11-13) and Seton Hill (1311).

To earn the No. 4 seed, IUP must sweep Cal U to leapfrog the Vulcans and place the Crimson Hawks at a 14-14 conference record.

That record would tie them with Seton Hill at No. 4 if the Griffins drop three of four games to Clarion University.

If Clarion sweeps Seton Hill, it would place IUP one game ahead of the Griffins. The Crimson Hawks will have a doubleheader Tuesday at home against West Liberty University to tune up for the massive weekend series.

(IUP Athletics) The IUP baseball team honored 12 of its players during the team’s Senior Day ceremony Sunday at Dougherty Field. The team defeated Seton Hill University in both games of the doubleheader.

(IUP Athletics) Ted DeSanti (senior, criminology) was one of the seniors honored during Senior Day. DeSanti was also recognized by the program Sunday when he was named 2018 Owen J. Dougherty Player of the Year.

IUP softball splits six-game stretch as regular season concludes

By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

The IUP softball team clinched a spot in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) tournament after winning three of six games this weekend.

The Crimson Hawks began the weekend hosting PSAC foe University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (UPJ) in a doubleheader Thursday.

IUP began the series by sending Lauren Zola to the circle. Zola pitched a complete game with five strikeouts while allowing one earned run.

Offensively IUP collected 13 hits with Kassie Kesneck (sophomore, English), Alaina Montgomery (senior, accounting), Bryanna Lonick (senior, management) and Brooklyn Kotula (freshman, accounting) all recording two hits, while Montgomery led the team with three RBIs. Lonick and Kotula both finished with one RBI in the 7-1 victory.

In Game 2, IUP sent Megan Risinger (junior, nursing) to the circle.

Risinger pitched 5.2 innings while allowing four earned runs. Zola relieved Risinger and pitched 1.1 innings while allowing two earned runs.

At the plate, IUP found itself in shootout trailing UPJ, 6-5, in the bottom of the seventh. Renee Wall (freshman, criminology) gave the Crimson Hawks an 8-6 victory after hitting a game-winning double.

With the win, IUP clinched a spot in the PSAC tournament.

“It's always exciting to have a chance to win the championship and knowing if we just play well and give our team a chance, we feel good,” head coach Bill Graham said. “It's always one of our goals to get there, and once we do, to play to win.”

IUP remained at home Friday, welcoming PSAC opponent Bloomsburg University.

Zola got the ball in Game 1 for the Crimson Hawks. Zola pitched

four innings while allowing six earned runs. Kotula relieved Zola, pitching three innings will allowing two earned runs and two unearned runs.

Montgomery and Lauren Goetz (junior, kinesiology) led the offense, both recording two hits. Goetz led with three RBIs while Montgomery had one RBI in the 10-4 loss.

In Game 2, IUP sent Risinger to the circle. Risinger pitched a complete game while allowing seven runs. On the offensive side, Kaitlyn Beers (sophomore, criminology) led the team after finishing with three hits and four RBIs. IUP traveled to UPJ Saturday for another doubleheader. IUP sent Zola to the circle, who pitched 6.2 innings allowing two runs and three hits. Despite the strong effort, Zola fell to the Mountain Cats with two outs in the bottom of the seventh after allowing a two-run single to give the Mountain Cats a 2-1 victory. The lone IUP run came from Kotula's home run in the third inning.

In Game 2, Risinger began in the circle. Risinger pitched 3.2 innings while allowing five runs.

Kotula relieved Risinger, pitching 2.1 innings while keeping UPJ off the board. IUP turned to Zola in the seventh inning. Zola took the loss despite allowing one hit. UPJ took the lead in the eighth inning, after Zola allowed a walk. The runner advanced to home on a throwing error to give UPJ a 8-7 victory.

Moving forward, IUP will compete in the PSAC Championships beginning Wednesday at Quakertown.

IUP will enter the game as the second seed from the PSAC Central. Despite the long weekend, IUP feels ready for the playoffs.

“I think we are in good shape,” Graham said. “A couple of injury issues in the outfield have complicated things, but we are dealing with it. We've really hit the ball well lately and are getting contributions from a number of people, which is great to see. We hope to continue that as long as we can this week.”

(IUP Athletics) Kaitlyn Beers (sophomore, criminology) went 9-for-23 with eight RBIs over the six-game stretch that ended the regular season for the Crimson Hawks. Beers was named one of two IUP Athletes of the Week.

Crimson Hawks have strong showing over weekend

By STEVEN LANGDON JR. Contributing Writer S.E.Langdon@iup.edu

IUP had a busy week with two invitationals, first the Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia on Friday and then the Paul Kaiser Classic at Shippensburg University on Saturday.

At the Penn Relays, Charles Wilson-Adams (redshirt junior, TRACK & FIELD communications media) and Christian Jones (sophomore, hospitality management) both hit qualifying marks in the high jump. Wilson-Adams finished 12th, clearing 2.00 meters, and Jones placed 31st with a height of 1.96 meters.

Jada Wilson (senior, hospitality management) continued her success with a 1:02 time and 27th place in the 400-meter hurdles.

Seventeen athletes hit conference qualifying marks Saturday at the 14th Annual Paul Kaiser Classic. This marked the last invitational

of the regular season for the Crimson Hawks.

On the men’s side, the 4x100 meter relay consisting of Julius Rivera (redshirt senior, human development and interior design), Daniel Jackson (freshman, business), Eliezier Silvestre (sophomore, kinesiology health and sport science) and Cameron Gray (redshirt sophomore, criminology and criminal justice) finished third, qualifying them for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships.

The 4x400 also qualified, finishing fourth. The relay was Derek Noll (junior, criminology and criminal justice), Silvestre, Justin Jones (sophomore, political science) and Dylan Ruefle (redshirt junior, criminology and criminal justice).

Ruefle also competed in the 800-meter, finishing seventh with a 1:56. Behind him in the 800-meter was Ryan Louther (senior, marketing), in 1:57.

“It was not the time I wanted to hit, but it was enough to qualify for PSAC,” Ruefle said. “I’m hoping to win the 4x800 relay like last year to score some points.”

John Capitosti (sopho-

more, biology) hit qualifying marks in the high jump and long jump with 1.86 meters and 6.57 meters, respectively.

Ethan Reilly hit qualifying in the long jump, jumping 6.63 meters.

On the girl’s team, the 4x400 meter relay the team of Heather Sternby (senior, nursing and allied health profession), Emily Dubler (senior, kinesiology health and sport science), Jessica Jones (sophomore, mathematics) and Wilson finished first.

Sternby competed in the 200-meter, finishing second with a 25.44. Ykendi Hood (freshman, accounting) also ran the 200-meter, finishing fourth. On top of that, Hood finished fifth in the 100-meter with a 12.38.

Rounding out the women were Sam Christman, who qualified in the 3000-meter steeplechase, and Liz Coppella (senior, kinesiology health and sport science). Christman finished third while Coppella finished fourth.

The Crimson Hawks will be back on the track Thursday through Saturday for the PSAC Championships at Slippery Rock University.

IUP wins second straight Atlantic Region title

By JOHN FORAN Staff Writer

J.N.Foran@iup.edu

The IUP tennis team won the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Championship on Sunday in Greensburg, defeating the University of Charleston Golden Eagles, 5-2.

“It’s incredible,” Luise von Agris (senior, management) said.

TENNIS “These are the goals we set as a team at the beginning of a season, and we accomplished them.”

The No. 4 ranked Charleston defeated No. 5 Slippery Rock University, 5-3, Saturday before having to face the host Crimson Hawks, which entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed for the second year in a row. Last weekend, IUP defeated Mercyhurst University, 5-0, to win its second PSAC champion-

ship in two years.

On Sunday in Greensburg, the Crimson Hawks won two of their three doubles matches, with von Agris and Jarka Petercakova (senior, management) winning the top spot, 8-3, and Julia Newman (freshman, management) with Mariana Valenzuela (sophomore, biology) getting a 8-2 win at the three spot.

During the singles portion of the match, Petercakova quickly won (6-0, 6-3) at the top spot.

Nicole Beidacki (freshman, kinesiology) followed shortly with a victory (6-0, 6-2) at the four.

Von Agris suffered a loss (1-6, 1-6) at the two, but Valenzuela came in clutch with a win (6-3, 6-2) at the sixth spot, securing the victory for IUP. The Crimson Hawks, now 20-5 overall, are also on their longest win streak of the season, winning their last eight matches.

Petercakova’s performance over the weekend earned her IUP Athlete of the Week, her fourth time winning the award in her collegiate career. She spoke about how it feels to be back at the PSAC and DII Atlantic Region championships.

“The fact that we won the PSAC

championship again and also the regionals just shows that all the hard work and hours on the tennis court with our team and our coach were paid off,” Petercakova said.

“It feels amazing, since this is Luise’s and my last year playing for the team, and we couldn't be happier to finish our tennis career here at IUP and making it to the sweet 16.”

The Crimson Hawks will travel to Surprise, Ariz., on Wednesday, where the championships will be hosted. IUP is eager to head west for a shot at the DII title.

“We are all very excited to travel to Arizona,” Beidacki said, “especially because there are only 16 teams left in the country … All of the teams playing there are very good. So it will be great competition, and we just hope we can do our best.”

Petercakova said she was excited, too.

“Luise and I already went to Arizona Nationals our freshman year, and we both loved it,” Petercakova said. “We are so excited to go back and enjoy those last couple days in the warm weather.”

(IUP Athletics) Jarka Petercakova (senior, management) won her matches in both singles and doubles play in the Atlantic Region title match Sunday. Petercakova was named one of two IUP Athletes of the Week.
