(Katie Jo Campbell/ The Penn) Students and faculty listened to opioid overdose preventative measures Wednesday as advised by the IUP Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Program spokespeople in the Hadley Union Building.

IUP cautions students in midst of drug epidemic By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Staff Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

To raise awareness about opioid overdoses and help save lives, the IUP Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Program partnered with The Open Door to provide information and training about how to save the life of someone who is overdosing. Ann Sesti, assistant director of ATOD, told the audience Wednesday in Suites on Maple East that the country is facing an opioid overdose health crisis right now. Deaths from opioid overdoses increased 30 percent statewide last year, according to a report by the Pennsylvania State Coroners Association. Since 2014, opioid overdoses have increased 300 percent in In-

diana County, according to Indiana County Coroner Jerry Overman, the Indiana Gazette reported. Sesti said it is necessary to change the attitude around overdosing as well as address the misconceptions about people that overdose. The event consisted of a training session of what to do when someone is overdosing as well as how to administer the life-saving drug Naloxone, commonly known by its brand name, Narcan. It was the first training event of its kind for the semester. Sesti said that there were plans to do another similar training session in November as well as possibly start training sessions on an individual basis for anyone who cannot make it. Until then, The Open Door also offers free training sessions at their

office located on the second floor of 665 Philadelphia St. There was also an information session to give people more facts about overdosing. Afterward, participants received a free Narcan kit. Participants were told if they use their kit or if it expires, they can get another free kit from The Open Door. Some of the information that was explained included the signs of an overdose. The most common symptoms to check for include seeing if the person is unresponsive, checking if they are breathing erratically or not at all, listening for gurgling sounds and looking for blue nails or lips. The presentation also covered what to do before emergency medical services arrive. Some important steps include calling 911,

administering Naloxone if handy, performing CPR, putting the person in the recovery position and staying with them until help arrives. Sesti explained why the training program was being offered. “It’s important to do this because no one should die from an overdose,” Sesti said. “We should also help others around us understand it’s not a simple issue.” There is a free PA Act. 139 online training program for the administration of naloxone. Anyone interested in completing the training can do so at http://bit.ly/2bxyrZq. Tina Hooker from The Open Door led the presentation. She told participants that Narcan does not hurt someone who is not overdosing, so it is “better to give and have it taken care of then

not give it.” She also also shared her thoughts for anyone who is suffering from an addiction or knows someone who is suffering. “I hope that anyone who has an addiction to an opioid seeks help,” Hooker said. The Open Door also offers various services such as counseling, pre-screening and referral services, alcohol and other drug assessments, partial hospitalization programming and outpatient programming and relapse prevention groups. “I went because I think it’s important to know [Narcan] is available and how to use it,” said Corissa Marshall (junior, nursing). “I think it was pretty easy to understand and very nice to know.”

Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties and Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education negotiators spent hours trying to write an agreeable contract Thursday, but only a few changes resulted from the four-hour session. PASSHE withdrew a number of its 249 proposals, with the most significant one being its proposal

to have newer graduate students teach courses. “This is not a game,” Mash said in Thursday’s press release. “This is going to be very, very hard, given that most of the most-controversial items are still on the table.” Negotiators are scheduled to meet Oct. 14 through 16. APSCUF offered to meet Oct. 8 through 9, which is a weekend faculty negotiators don’t teach. PASSHE rejected those dates.

IUP students offer Insanity training sessions By KATIE MEST Staff Writer

K.A.Mest@iup.edu

Two IUP students have physically challenged themselves by getting certified in Insanity. Kayla Gabany (sophomore, biology) and Neda Karimi (sophomore, natural science) decided to teach Insanity because of their unique backgrounds in fitness training. Gabany and Karimi spent six hours at State College to achieve their certifications. After going through the anatomy and why Insanity is important, the two girls went through an Insanity class with the master trainer. Gabany initially trained with her brother to be a power lifter. After getting hurt, she found Insanity as a way to keep in shape. “I love the way my brother motivated me,” Gabany said. “He’d get in my face, telling me I could do it even though my mind was telling me I couldn’t. “I saw results from myself, and once you see results, they become addicting.” Gabany said she “wanted to give other people that feeling, knowing if you work hard at something and push yourself to the max, you will see results.” Karimi teaches spinning classes at IUP as well as at Uptown Fitness. “I wanted something different,” Karimi said. “I took a class, and I thought I had good ideas. I have binders full of workouts, so I felt that [teaching] was the next best step.” The Insanity workout lives up to its name as far as intensity. “Insanity is this high-cardio interval,” Gabany said. “You have a strength block, a cardio block, a coordination block and a core block. “The way that Insanity has it made is that it trains you to keep

pushing even though you’re fatigued. It trains your mind and mental health to say, ‘I can still do this even though I’m failing.’” New members should expect the class to be challenging. Gabany suggests telling yourself that it will get easier as long as you keep doing it and to believe in yourself. For each move, there’s a modification. Insanity welcomes people of all fitness levels to try it out. Because many newcomers are intimidated by the name, Karimi and Gabany decided to change the names of their classes. Karimi will teach a Fitness Fusion class and Gabany will teach a Cut class at Uptown Fitness. Both will still incorporate moves from Insanity. Karimi teaches Monday and Wednesday while Gabany teaches Thursday and Friday. A class schedule can be found on the Uptown Fitness website.

IUP Votes races to register students before Election Day By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

IUP Votes is conducting voting registration around campus through Oct. 11, the deadline to vote, while educating students on the importance of voting after that deadline. “Politicians listen to those who vote,” said Eric Barker, primary contact for IUP Votes. “You can vote for candidates up and down the ballot, not just the president. For example, the owner of Spaghetti Benders is running for state senate, and there’s and IUP student (Patrick Edwards, political science) running for state house.” IUP Votes suggests that students register to vote on campus instead of their permanent addresses because it will make Election Day easier. Most students who are registered to vote in Indiana will vote in either Zink Hall or Pratt Hall.

Students are able to register in person or with TurboVote (iup. turbovote.org), Barker said. If a student is in need of an absentee ballot, TurboVote will cover postage and mail them an application for a ballot. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Students can check their voter registration status by visit-

ing votespa.com or calling the local voter registration office at 724-465-3852. Barker said the next IUP Votes meeting for interested students will take place at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Hadley Union Building Knowlton Room. Additional voting questions can be answered on the IUP Votes’ Facebook page, Barker said.

Professor recognizes student’s ambition By JEREMY STOUT Staff Writer J.W.Stout@iup.edu

Destiny Stinson (senior, child development and family relations) is involved in a lot. She is a Board of Governors Promising scholar, office assistant in professional studies, research assistant in childhood development, family relations worker for United Way of Indiana County and is a resident coordinator – at her off-campus housing. She does all this while maintaining a high GPA and taking 15 credits this semester. “I like to break things down,” Stinson said. “Time management, I’m really good with that.” That makes sense, seeing all the stuff she has to balance. It’s even more impressive since the Board of Governors scholarship also comes along with the requirement of being a mentor to an underclassman. However, Stinson does say that the stress can get to her and that she sometimes wishes she was a little less ambitious in the amount of work that she signed up for. “Sometimes it gets a little annoying,” she said. “But sometimes I feel like everything is working against me. Professors act like that’s the only class you have, and so they give you a crap load of homework.” Stinson said she couldn’t have foreseen taking on this amount of work when looking back on herself in high school. “I told myself that I’d never do anything,” she said. “I’m very lazy. You can’t tell from all the stuff I do. No, in high school, I was ‘this is not me. I don’t care about your program, and I don’t care about your club, and don’t ask me to donate to your activity.’” Stinson says that she feels like she just got pushed into all this stuff.

Time management, I’m really good at that. -Destiny Stinson (senior, child development and faculty relations) family professor in the department of human development and environmental studies, said that Stinson “challenges herself and strives to meet the expectations set in our major coursework.” Palmer also says that Stinson “is welcoming and helpful when prospective students or newly enrolled students are on campus.” Despite the work and saying that all her free time goes to homework, Stinson is incredibly humble about what she does and insists that it’s not actually that much. “I don’t think that I’m ambitious at all,” Stinson said. “I really don’t. There are so many people that do so much. Some days I’m really busy, some days I’m not. I don’t want to make it seem like I have my hand in everything.”

First presidential debate has voters second-guessing By CODY PATTISON Staff Writer C.W.Pattison@iup.edu

The first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton was held Monday night at Hofstra University in Long Island, N.Y. The debate focused on three topics: achieving prosperity, America’s direction and securing America. The candidates started off by answering how they would create new jobs and help fix the economy. “First, we have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” Clinton said. “That means we need new jobs, good jobs with rising incomes. We also have to make the economy fairer. That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee, finally, equal pay for women’s work.” Trump told the crowd that American jobs are fleeing to other countries and went into more detail about his plan to create jobs. “Under my plan, I’ll be reducing taxes tremendously, from 35 percent to 15 percent for companies, small and big businesses,” Trump said. “That’s going to be a job-creator like we haven’t seen since Ronald Reagan. It’s going to be a beautiful thing to watch.” The candidates went on to explain how

they would bring back jobs from overseas. Trump claimed that he would tax companies bringing in goods. Clinton responded by stating her plan could create 10 million jobs and used clean energy as a source of making these new jobs. She also attacked Trump for rooting for the housing crisis. When the topic of discussion changed into taxes, the moderator questioned Trump about his taxes not being released. “I will release my tax returns, against my lawyer’s wishes, when she releases her 33,000 emails that have been deleted,” Trump said. “As soon as she releases them, I will release.” Clinton rebutted this statement, calling it a “bait and switch,” and hinted that Trump doesn’t want people to see his tax releases because he may not be as wealthy or charitable as he claims. “We don’t know all of his business dealings, but we have been told through investigative reporting that he owes about $650 million to Wall Street and foreign banks,” Clinton said. “Or maybe he doesn’t want the American people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he’s paid nothing in federal taxes, because the only years that anybody’s ever seen were a couple of years when he had to turn them over to state authorities when he was trying to get a casino

license, and they showed he didn’t pay any federal income tax.” Later on, Holt asked the candidates about race relations and how to heal the divide in America. “We have to restore trust between communities and the police,” Clinton said. “We have to work to make sure that our police are using the best training, the best techniques (and) that they’re well-prepared to use force only when necessary.” Trump responded by saying Clinton was forgetting about two words: law and order. “Right now, our police, in many cases, are afraid to do anything,” Trump said. “We have to protect our inner cities, because AfricanAmerican communities are being decimated by crime, decimated. “We need law and order in the inner cities because the people that are most affected by what’s happening are AfricanAmerican and Hispanic people,” Trump said. Clinton was quick to respond, saying Trump

portrays a dire picture of African-American communities in America. “Too many young African-American and Latino men ended up in jail for nonviolent offenses,” Clinton said. “And it’s just a fact that if you’re a young African-American man and you do the same thing as a young white man, you are more likely to be arrested, charged, convicted and incarcerated.” The final segment of the night, securing America, asked about the cyber-attacks on the institutions in America, who is behind these attacks and what the candidates will do to fight back. Clinton equated cyber-attacks as one of the biggest challenges to face the next president. She also talked about the cyberattacks from Russia. “I know Donald’s very praiseworthy of Vladimir Putin, but Putin is playing a really tough, long game here,” Clinton said. “And one of the things he’s done is to let loose cyber attackers to hack into government files, to hack into personal files, hack into the Democratic National Committee.” Later on, Trump was asked to elaborate about Clinton and her “presidential look,” that Trump said she did not have. “She doesn’t have the look,” Trump said. “She doesn’t have the stamina.” Clinton then told Trump to travel to 112 countries as she has and then talk to him about stamina. She also attacked Trump on his treatment of women. “You know, he tried to switch from looks to stamina. But this is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs,” Clinton said. The final question touched on the potential outcome of the election and if the loser of the election would support the winner. “Well, I support our democracy and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,” Clinton said. “But I certainly will support the outcome of this election.”

Let’s strike up a conversation: Appreciate your education – your professors are fighting for it

It’s that point in the semester. The average student – I hope I’m not speaking for only myself, here – is physically and mentally drained. We’re tired of having to choose between flip flops, rain boots and warm shoes (thanks, capricious weather). We’re tired of getting muddy and worrying about slipping while walking in the grass in the new paths formed around the construction. The homework is piling up, sleep isn’t happening and we’re hungry because the food costs too much on campus to be able to eat properly.

It’s that point in the semester when you probably are asking yourself for the second or third time if getting an education is worth going through all of this. Maybe it’s time to throw in the towel. There are rumblings of a possible strike – just another thing to worry about. But before deciding to quit school and crawl deep into a yearlong Netflix binge, consider this: The reason a strike might be taking place is because of the importance of education. “I want to make it clear that I am not doing this for selfinterested reasons like pay and health care,” Kutztown University professor Eric F. Johnson wrote in a statement to APSCUF Tuesday. “While these have deteriorated over the years as they have for many American workers, my real motivation is the quality of what my students receive in their education.” He listed issues such as having students teach college courses, as well as faculty members being assigned to teach subjects outside their fields of knowledge – which he said are both “operational changes” proposed by the chancellor’s office of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Edu-

cation – as reasons for why he would strike. This is a common sentiment felt by professors and students within the state system. “This strike represents our country’s emphasis on the importance of education,” wrote Jaimi Dodson (senior, journalism and public relations) in a Monday The Odessy Online article. “State schools have received significantly less amount of funding every year. The importance that our country puts on education is very minimal. Educating people creates new technology, business and more that grows our economy, not to mention that fact that well-educated people can solve social issues happening around us as well. “Education is important, and this strike shows that our state is not making it a priority.” So, in the depths of your mid-semester despair, remember that yes, your education is important. It’s so important that many of your faculty will strike Oct. 19 if it turns out PASSHE has also forgotten just how important it is.

“Blood Wedding” cast members rehearsed Thursday in the Zink Hall Dance Theater.

Fall in love with ‘Blood Wedding’ By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Staff Writer S.L.Bachman@@iup.edu

Tickets for the IUP Dance Theater’s performance of “Blood Wedding,” which will run Nov. 4 to 6 in the Zink Hall Dance Theater, will go on sale Tuesday. The Friday and Saturday performances will take place at 7 p.m., while the Sunday performance is scheduled for 2 p.m. “Blood Wedding” is a renowned play written by Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca in the 1930s. García Lorca was executed by nationalist forces during the Spanish Civil War, and his works are known for rebelling against societal norms. He focused on humanitarian

issues that were taboo at the time, causing his work to be banned until 1953. “Blood Wedding” is the story of a young bride-to-be who is visited by a former lover on her wedding day, which causes a bloody feud that threatens the entire ceremony. It is being told through dance as a story of love vs. deception, family vs. revenge and beauty vs. betrayal. Dr. Holly Boda-Sutton is the director for the performance, and Dr. David Martynuik is composing the music. Nay’Quan Pack (fine arts) is playing the bridegroom, Michelle Ackerman (kinesiology) is playing the bride and Caroline Snyder (nursing) is playing Leonardo, the ex-lover. Dr. Laura Delbrugge, an IUP Spanish professor, served as a dramaturge for

the performance. She worked with the dancers and staff to ensure historical, political, social and geographical accuracy. Boda–Sutton said García Lorca’s story contains themes still relevant that to communities today. “One of the wonderful attributes of dance is that it can present to the audience something they may already be aware of but from a different perspective,” Boda-Sutton said. “Also, dance is not as literal as words, so communicating through movement allows the audience opportunity to make their own interpretation of what is being presented,” Boda-Sutton said. The performance uses dance to examine

themes such as choice, fate, deception and love. It also deals with the ideas of fidelity, betrayal and revenge. Boda-Sutton explained why IUP Dance Theater selected to perform this piece. “There was a desire to examine the issues of the play, thus producing a dance version on the play in which the unfolding of the story would be communicated non-verbally through movement only,” Boda-Sutton said. Students can purchase tickets at the Hadley Union Building box office, by calling 724-357-1313 or by ordering them online. Regular tickets are $15, senior tickets are $12 and student, I-Card and children tickets are $10.

Band with diverse setlist to play Brown Hotel

(Facebook)

HABATAT strives to create a sense of community with its music.

By TORI STROMBERG Staff Writer T.J.Stromberg@iup.edu

HABATAT is a Pittsburghbased band that plays anything from reggae all the way to funk. They also dabble in blues and improvisational psychedelic rock. The meaning of their music is quite simple: life and energy. The band hopes to convey “positivity and unity through music and art,” HABATAT said in a Tuesday email. Members of the group are Ryan Woods on guitar and vocals, Kris Lupher on bass, Justin Banks on drums, Cory Mickinak on guitar and Josh Kovert on horns and keyboards. The name HABATAT is quite unique, and the meaning behind the name is even better. The band wanted the “ecosystem of happy musical joy” to be present in its name, so they decided to remove

the “I” from the original name and replace it with their new, unique name, according to HABATAT’s Facebook page. In past years, HABATAT has done what all bands need to do to get their name around: play at local bars and clubs. The band would also play at community events to expand its fan base. Last year marked the band’s first self-titled album release, leading them to many long-term opportunities. The future for HABATAT looks bright as they plan to record and release their second album in the spring of 2017. They also plan on taking a full summer tour in 2017, according to their facebook. HABATAT is slated to perform at 9 p.m. Friday at The Brown Hotel. It will be $5 for admission. Only people ages 21 and older are permitted to attend.

By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

Bruno’s II restaurant on Philadelphia Street has transformed into H.R. Steinhouse and will host its grand opening at 4 p.m. Monday. H.R. Steinhouse had a soft open Aug. 29, but Denny Della-Penna and Mike Peter, co-owners for 13 years, have big plans for the grand opening. The duo came up with the idea for a gastropub to appeal to IUP students who are looking for somewhere to hang out and eat quality food for a good price, according to Della-Penna. A gastropub usually sells craft beers, microbrews, wines and occasional mixed drinks. In addition to drinks, the pub will also feature appetizers, small plates and simple entrees. On Thursdays, H.R. Steinhouse will feature an all-you-can-eat pizza and wings buffet for $9.99. “It should be a great place to watch a Steelers or an Eagles game,” Della-Penna said. The pub will feature four TVs in the seating area, Della-Penna said.

The pub’s audience is expected to be anyone over 21 years old, specifically IUP students. During the grand opening, H.R. Steinhouse will be giving away a 48-inch TV and a pair of Pittsburgh Penguins tickets. The history of the building will be featured with pictures provided by the family of the original owner. Patrons can expect the pub to be open from 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. on Sundays, Della-Penna said. The original owner before the building became Bruno’s II was Herman Ricupero of Ricupero’s restaurant. “The name itself is more attributed to the man who ran it,” Della-Penna said. The owner’s original ideal was to call the gastropub Winstein and Dine, according to Della-Penna. However, they really liked a customer’s idea to call it H.R. Steinhouse, after the original owner of the building. With the opening of this pub, Della-Penna hopes that he can attract more college students to get to know and love the building like his many repeat customers.

World of sports takes devastating blow with tragic losses of Fernández, Palmer By CHRIS HAYES Copy Editor

C.T.Hayes@iup.edu

The sports world lost two great ones on Sunday. One was a young man just entering his prime, and the other was an old legend whose impact will never be forgotten. José Fernández, a 24-year-old pitcher for the Miami Marlins, tragically passed away early Sunday morning in a boating accident. Without question one of the best young pitchers in baseball at the time of his passing, Fernández finished his four-year career with a 38-17 record and a 2.58 ERA. Although the statistics are impressive, Fernández will most likely be remembered for two other reasons: how much of an impact he left on the game of baseball and what his budding career could have been. Every player, coach and analyst who has spoken since Fernández’s passing has had nothing but amazing things to say about the young ace. He had an infectious attitude on and off the field and played the game like he was a little kid again, soaking in every pitch he threw and every out he recorded. He was a role model for Cuban ballplayers, as well. After several unsuccessful attempts, Fernández and his mother finally defected from Cuba in 2008. In fact, during the successful attempt, Fernández’s mother fell overboard and he dove into the water and rescued her, saving her life. Just days before his death, Fernández posted a photo on Instagram of his pregnant girlfriend,

Carla Mendoza. His post read, “I’m so glad you came into my life. I’m ready for where this journey is gonna take us together #familyfirst.” Arnold Palmer, the Latrobe native who became one of the greatest golfers of all-time, passed away Sunday night at the age of 87. Palmer won seven major championships during his long career including four Masters titles, one U.S. Open title and three Open Championship victories. Only seven other golfers in the history of the sport have more major wins than Palmer. Even with all of Palmer’s achievements on the golf course, many golf fans will remember him for the impact he left on the game. Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player are the three golfers credited with popularizing the game of golf not only in America, but also around the globe. Palmer won the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 and is a World Golf Hall of Fame member. Nicknamed “The King,” Palmer racked up 62 PGA Tour wins throughout his illustrious career and 95 total professional victories. In an interview this week with FOX Business Network’s Varney & Co., Nicklaus remembered his old rival and friend. “He was the king of the game and always will be,” Nicklaus said. “We all owe him a lot in the game of golf. I think a lot of people can learn an awful lot from Arnold Palmer.” Both Fernández and Palmer will be remembered and dearly missed by sports fans of all ages for their contributions to their sports.

Arnold Palmer is considered one of golf’s greatest figures not only as a player, but also as an ambassador for the game. Palmer won seven majors during his career, including four Masters titles, three Open championships and a U.S. Open championship.

José Fernández was named to his first career all-star game in 2016 and was also considered to be a contender for the National League Cy Young award.

The IUP women’s soccer team went on a road trip Saturday afternoon to take on the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (UPJ). The Crimson Hawks were seeking to do what seven other teams have done this season: clinch an alwaysimportant SOCCER win against a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) opponent. The UPJ Mountain Cats entered this game with an 0-7 record, with all seven of their losses coming via PSAC competition. This game was an ideal opportunity to gain some ground in the conference standings, as well

as gaining some momentum and confidence. The Crimson Hawks were aggressive from the start of the game, looking to put the game out of reach early. They broke the

ice in the 15th minute with McKenna Keffel’s (freshman, marketing) first goal of her IUP career, which came off an assist from Lexie Palluconi (junior, child development

and family relations). The Hawks soon followed up with yet another first half goal, coming just minutes later in the 22nd minute courtesy of Megan Coyne (junior, athletic training), as she capitalized on a penalty kick opportunity to net her second goal of the season and put the team up, 2-0. IUP entered the half with the lead after having 10 shots on goal while outshooting UPJ, 14-4. Things slowed down in the second half for the Crimson Hawks, as they only fired two shots on goal. One of those shots, however, included the PSAC-best eighth goal of the season for Palluconi. Palluconi is now leading the conference in points with a total of 17, including a points-per-game average of 1.89. Her closest competition is Ashley Mutkus from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, who has 13 points and an average of 1.44 points-per-game on the year. The game ended with

a final score of 3-0, as goalie Jessica Printz (senior, athletic training) notched her third shutout in four games, finishing the contest with four saves. Printz was named one of IUP’s co-athletes of the week. “It was a great surprise Monday morning; I wasn’t expecting it,” she said. “But I definitely would not have received that honor without my teammates.” Over the past three games, Printz has saved 16 shots and has a goals against average of 0.67. With Saturday’s victory, the Crimson Hawks improved to 6-3 on the season and 5-2 in the conference. They now find themselves locked up in a tie for fourth place alongside Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. IUP will travel to Kutztown University of Pennsylvania (4-2) Friday, then on Saturday afternoon they’ll hit the road to take on the undefeated defending conference champions East Stroudsburg University (7-0).

After finishing Saint Vincent College’s 8-km course in 26:57, IUP’s cross country standout Austin Cooper (junior, geography and regional planning) was able to win the Saint Vincent Invitational and earn the honor of IUP’s male athlete of the week. Despite Cooper’s achievement, he CROSS feels that the level of competition helped him COUNTRY win the race. “It was sort of a mid-level race,” Cooper said. Cooper’s achievement brought the Crimson Hawks out of a three-year individual winless race streak. IUP’s last individual win was by Clinton Keller in 2013 during the season opener at the Seton Hill Griffin Classic. Although

Cooper did win the race by a 20-second margin, he relied on the help of his teammates and a strong strategy to finish the race at the front of the pack. Cooper and teammates Dalton Trump (junior, marketing) and Greg Beaudette (senior, kinesiology) used one another as pacesetters in order to maintain a strong pace. “We went out slow and tried to work our way up as the race went on,” Cooper said. This strategy allowed Cooper to maintain his energy so he could move up in the race the further he ran, which put him in good position to make a strong final push. Cooper is proud of his accomplishments so far this year, yet he realizes that there is a more important goal that lies at the end of the season. “It was definitely cool to win,” Cooper said, “but I have more important goals this season.”

Cooper is setting his standards high. He hopes to earn a top-three finish in the Atlantic Regional Championships to put him on the fast rack to nationals. Funny thing is, Cooper almost did not even compete for the Crimson Hawks this season. He was originally planning on redshirting this year but, in a last-minute decision, he ran for IUP in the Saint Vincent Invitational. Cooper hopes to continue his success as IUP travels to Bethlehem to compete Saturday in the Paul Short Run at Lehigh University.

Field hockey’s offensive woes continue

(IUP Athletics) IUP goalie Alyssa Lerda had a career-high nine saves in Wednesday’s loss at PSAC opponent Shippensburg University.

The IUP field hockey team lost on the road Wednesday against No. 3 Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. The loss FIELD HOCKEY drops IUP to 4-4 overall and 0-2 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Shippensburg improves to 9-1 overall and sits atop the PSAC standings. Goalie Alyssa Lerda (senior, earth/space science) made a career-high nine saves, but it was not enough to pull out the win. Shippensburg outshot IUP, 23-0. Their first goal came at the 33:07 mark in the first half and their second score came at 67:03 mark of the second half.

Amber Bailey (senior, psychology) discussed the team’s overall performance. “We played another strong defensive game, but we were forced to play defense a lot,” Bailey said. “Offensively, we weren’t as connected as we usually are, and we could have been more aggressive.” IUP has been faced with this lack of offensive production a number of times throughout the season. It will look to some of its top scorers to shift the team’s momentum in the offensive zone as the season continues. The team will return to action Saturday when they take on No. 10 West Chester at home. The Crimson Hawks are looking to get back in the win column and earn their first conference win of the season. IUP opened its season at West Chester and lost a closely fought game, 1-0. The team will look to avenge that early season loss.
