Student travels to Kentucky to help those in poverty-stricken areas

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

“I’m not someone that likes attention. Everything I do in my life I’m doing for God. I’m not doing it for praise,” Jordan Wade (senior, middle level education) said. St. Thomas More University Parish awarded its annual Community Involvement Award this year to a student in the Catholic Student Association who has traveled to Kentucky to help the poor living in Appalachia. Wade served as president of CSA for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years. During this time, she helped the organization grow from seven people to around 30 active members. She said she also helped change the interest factors of the group to make CSA more interesting and fun. Wade described all she did for CSA as her greatest triumph. In recognition of her efforts, St. Thomas More University Parish made her the 2016 recipient of its Community Involvement Award. The award is given to someone within the parish based on what he or she has done for both the parish and the community. Wade is the first IUP student to win the award. Wade said the award meant a lot coming from the parish. “It was very overwhelming. I feel so fortunate to have a great relationship with [Fr. Alan Polczynski] and the whole [parish] staff. I feel part of their family.” Wade has also been traveling to the Appalachian region of Kentucky regularly since 2014 to help its community, which is one of the poorest in the nation.

Find the place where you belong and you can be 100 percent yourself and not worry about what other people think of you.

-Jordan Wade (senior, middle level education)

She started visiting Kentucky as a part of its annual Work Fest. Every spring break, college students from across the country travel to Kentucky to help fix houses. Wade went with other members from CSA on the trip. She said she fell in love with Kentucky during her first year there. It was also where she felt called to take on a larger role within CSA. “I felt it in my heart to take on the president title,” Wade said. “I didn’t want anything to happen to [CSA] because I needed that group.” Since her first trip in Kentucky, Wade has gone back to volunteer there for the past two spring breaks and also for parts of the past two summers. During the summers she has volunteered in elderly housing and the children’s summer camp. Elderly housing consists of different tasks such as building ramps and porches for families. “[Summer camp] encompasses everything that I love because I get to be in Kentucky, live with other volunteers and help kids,” Wade said. “And not just any kids, but kids who don’t have a lot.” Currently, Wade is doing her student teaching at United Junior/Senior High School in Armagh. Additionally, she works after school at the Evergreen Boys and Girls Club, where she is the lead

staff member. Her job mostly entails organizing programs for students about different topics such as running a business, forensic science, fine arts and STEM. Wade described it as a combination of camp and teaching. After her December graduation, she will spend the rest of the school year working at Evergreen before volunteering for a year in Kentucky starting in June. She offered some advice to other undergraduate students, especially those who are unsure of who

they are. “Find the place where you belong and you can be 100 percent yourself and not worry about what other people think of you,” Wade said. “Just be yourself and feel comfortable. Do not try and fit some mold. “Don’t be afraid to open your heart to God and really let him in and listen. More people will respect you for it than anything else.” Wade also encourages anyone to come to CSA, even if he or she is not Catholic.

Icelanders set to oust government By DEUTSCHE PRESSEAGENTUR TNS

Iceland’s ruling center-right coalition looks set to lose power after Saturday’s parliamentary election, broadcaster RUV reported early Sunday, with 51,000 votes counted. But a left-leaning coalition comprising the Pirate Party, the Left Green Movement, the Social Democratic Alliance and Bright Future has also failed to muster the 32 seats needed to form a government, according to the report. The Conservatives are expected to get 33.2 percent of the vote. The Left Greens (15.3 percent) and anti-establishment Pirates (13.2 percent) made gains and look set to be the second and third-strongest party in parliament behind the Social Democrats who were relegated to fourth place. Conservative party chief Bjarni Benediktsson told Icelandic radio he was very pleased with the initial results. “We are in a good position, but the night is still young,” said the Left-Greens party chief Katrin Jakobsdottir.

The Reconstruction Party – formed earlier this year by disgruntled members of the Independence Party – was also on track to clear parliament’s threshold of 5 percent. The party could play a pivotal role if neither bloc secures a majority. The Vidreisn reform party is also expected to enter the 63-seat parliament. Roughly 246,500 Icelanders were eligible to vote. Official results are not expected until later Sunday. The elections were triggered earlier this year when then-premier Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson resigned after data from the Panama Papers leak suggested he and his wife had an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands. Both denied wrongdoing. The elections originally scheduled for April 2017 were brought forward because of mass protests against the government. The opposition said it wants to increase funding for health care and universities, but above all restore trust in the political system, damaged by the 2008 collapse of the country’s main banks in the global financial crisis.

History department to promote student scholarship By GINA BIANUCCI Staff Writer G.M.Bianucci@iup.edu

IUP’s history department will be hosting a history conference Tuesday in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building Rooms 310 and 225. During this conference, IUP students will be presenting on research papers they have written. After the presentations, IUP alumni will be conducting a panel in which they will talk to students about possible career paths after graduation. “Students can learn about new research and, for new students, this helps them in setting goals,” said Dr. Christine Baker, assistant professor in the history department. Three different topics are scheduled to be discussed in three different sections. The topics include “Women and World War II,” “Defining National Politics” and “20th Century Politics.” The students presenting include Andrew Palmer, Alexandra Patterson, Holly Kresge, Samantha Barna, Callie Campbell, Richard Napotnik, Kayla Murrell, Darren Frederick and Victoria Murray. “I had been to a couple of the history conferences before, but

had never presented in one until this semester,” Patterson (senior, history) said. “While it is nervewracking to stand up in front of a group of people, it is comforting to know that it is a group of my peers and fellow students. “I think that we have a lot of interesting and relevant topics in these panels, and I am glad to be included in the presentations.” The alumni panel includes Rebecca Lingenfelter, Elin Woods, Christine Mueseler, Glenn Cannon and John Lepley. “These presentations help students home in on their communication skills, a transferrable skill that is desirable anywhere a student decides to work,” Baker said. After the alumni panel, a keynote address by Nan Woodruff, a history professor at Penn State, will

be conducting a synopsis of her research. A reception will be held in the HSS Atrium at the conclusion of this conference. The history department has held small conferences in the past, but last semester it held its largest conference until this one. Dr. Baker, Dr. Soo Lu, Dr. Joseph Mannard, Dr. Tamara Whited, Dr. R. Scott Moore and Dr. Erin Conlin have organized and will conduct each event for the duration of the conference. Although the majority of the presenters are history majors, the only requirement to be a student presenter is to submit a research paper that is considered to be “historical.” “One of the most important ideas that these presentations will teach us is how we understand the past,” Baker said.

Students voice their Political science professors frustrations about weigh in on upcoming election general election By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

By SETH WOOLCOCK Staff Writer S.M.Woolcock@iup.edu

As Election Day approaches, so does one of the most historic presidential elections in history. College students have been a key target audience in this year’s election. IUP students have a tall task at hand, as they will head to the polls in one of the most crucial swing states of the election. “I believe that both candidates are terrible and are really an embarrassment to our country,” Eric Deluccie (sophomore, accounting) said. “I would prefer Trump over Hillary because he is more firm in his views, but it’s really picking straws at this point. “I will not be voting this year, which is really disappointing because I finally get the right to vote and I’m stuck in between two of the worst candidates ever.” Husain Alzaid (freshman, international studies) is from Kuwait, adding a unique voice to the situation. “Both candidates are equally bad, but Donald Trump just bugs me,” Alzaid said.

If Trump gets elected, I’m concerned that his supporters, as well as the government, could be aggressive toward Muslims. -Husain Alzaid (freshman, international studies)

“He says that all Muslims are terrorists and support ISIS but, in fact, last year, a mosque was bombed by ISIS in my home country of Kuwait. “If Trump gets elected, I’m concerned that his supporters, as well as the government, could be aggressive toward Muslims.” Alyssa Burd (freshman, foreign languages) said she believes both candidates perfectly exemplify the flaws in the country’s political system. “I’m pretty bummed because I was so excited to vote this year,” Burd said. “If I did have to choose, though, I would select Hillary Clinton, because she has experience and can carry herself much better than her competitor, Donald Trump.”

IUP political science associate professor David Chambers said he doesn’t believe this year’s presidential election has to involve voting for the lesser of two evils. Fellow political science associate professor Sarah Wheeler agreed with Chambers, and said Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, lacks a clear policy. “He mostly is attacking President Obama’s policies,” Wheeler said. Chambers echoed Wheeler’s sentiments. “He has lots and lots of adjectives with very little substance,” he said. This election is different because Trump has no political background, and his presentation is so different than that of a typical presidential candidate, according to Chambers. Wheeler added that this year’s election is significantly more hostile than previous ones. Chambers said if Trump were elected president, he would need to focus less on himself and more on relations with Mexico and other countries. It is hard to know for sure how a Trump-led country would look, Wheeler said. She added that she is interested to see how Hill-

ary Clinton, the Democratic Party nominee, would enact her plan to make college more affordable. Gwendolyn Torges, another political science professor, had a different opinion. Torges was not as concerned with the outcome of the election. “We have enough checks and balances,” Torges said. “Congress is actually the most powerful branch, and [the] country will be fine.” Chambers said he worries that Trump couldn’t maintain a quality relationship with other countries, and that he hoped Clinton has learned from her past mistakes, such as her email scandal and her handling of the 2012 attack on the U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya,

that left four Americans killed, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya. Clinton was secretary of state at the time of the tragedy. “I hope she can change the tone,” he said. Another big factor in this election is the possible appointment of multiple Justices of the Supreme Court, Chambers said. He added that this could determine the direction of the country for the next 30 years. Both Chambers and Wheeler didn’t see a clear winner of the three presidential debates. “People turn the elections into a horse race,” Wheeler said. “I don’t see it that way. It is more about who receives the most positive media coverage.”

Sheriff’s department says it’s not watching Facebook check-ins at Standing Rock

(Wikipedia) Protestors have been fighting the North Dakota Access Pipeline since Jan. 25.

By MATT PEARCE Los Angeles Times TNS

Tens of thousands of Facebook users across the U.S. have been falsely “checking in” at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota after a viral message claimed that investigators were tracking protesters on Facebook. “The Morton County Sheriff’s Department has been using Facebook check-ins to find out who is at Standing Rock in order to target them in attempts to disrupt the prayer camps,” said a version of the message, whose origin was unclear and which was collected by the hoax-busting site Snopes. “SO Water Protectors are call-

ing on everyone to check-in at Standing Rock, N.D., to overwhelm and confuse them.” But on Monday, the Morton County Sheriff’s Department said the claim was a hoax. “In response to the latest rumor/false claim circulating on social media we have the following response,” the department said in a post on Facebook. “The Morton County Sheriff’s Department is not and does not follow Facebook check-ins for the protest camp or any location. This claim/rumor is absolutely false.” Demonstrators have been stationed at Standing Rock for months to protest the planned path of a pipeline that they say could desecrate tribal lands and put their drinking water at risk.

Republicans in tight races hit opponents on Clinton emails

(TNS) U.S. FBI Director James Comey testified on Capitol Hill in July in Washington, D.C., before the House Oversight Committee over investigations into Hillary Clinton’s email system. The FBI said Friday it is reviewing newly discovered emails.

By ERIC GARCIA CQ-Roll Call TNS

Just as democrats have been tying Republican candidates to Donald Trump’s hot mic moment, Republicans in contested races are seizing on FBI Director James Comey’s revelation about new evidence in the Hillary Clinton email investigation to attack their democratic opponents. Comey announced on Friday the discovery of emails pertaining to the investigation of Clinton using a private email server, and he was pummeled by democrats who said his unusual move was intended to influence the election. But Republican candidates saw an opportunity to tie their opponents to their party’s presidential nominee and move the needle in their races, just as democrats have done with Trump’s comments. Rep. Joe Heck, who is in a tight race for Senate in Nevada, hit his democratic opponent, former state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, for continuing her support of Clinton in light of the former secretary of state’s “reckless behavior.” Similarly, in New Hampshire, Sen. Kelly Ayotte released an ad tying her opponent, Gov. Maggie Hassan, and the email scandal using footage of Hassan dodging the question of whether Clinton is trustworthy.

[Clinton is] in a world of hot water. -Sen. Pat Toomey (Republican incumbent) In Wisconsin, Sen. Ron Johnson, who is in a tough race against former Sen. Russ Feingold and serves as chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, is calling for a briefing from Comey no later than Friday, four days before the election. “Most importantly, if the FBI determines that any additional classified information has been put at risk of exposure to our enemies,” Johnson wrote in a letter to Comey, “it is vital that the intelligence community take all appropriate steps to mitigate the potential damage to our national security.” Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is facing a tough re-election race against democrat Katie McGinty, said Clinton is “in a world of hot water.” “I’m not a member of the FBI, but it’s hard for me to imagine they would do this without some pretty compelling evidence,” he said. A recent poll from Politico and the Morning Consult showed the revelation had minimal effect on Clinton while a poll from ABC and The Washington Post showed support for Clinton slipped.

Dogs are frequently brought to campus and used to lift the spirits of students who face extra stress around move-in, midterms or finals. In addition to relieving stress and anxiety from recent events, IUP offers a few tips on its website for surviving the upcoming holiday season: • Keep expectations for the holiday season manageable by not trying to make the holiday “the best ever.” • Let go of the past! Don’t be disappointed if your holidays are not like they used to be. Look toward the future. • Enjoy holiday activities that are free such as driving around to look at Christmas decorations. • Don’t drink too much. Excessive drinking will only make you more depressed. • Spend time with people who are supportive and care about you. Make new friends if you are alone during special times. Contact someone you have lost touch with. • Find time for yourself! Don’t spend all your time providing activities for your family and friends. Additionally, AMYA Yoga is scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. every Wednesday in the HUB Allegheny Room.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Decision 2016: We have more than two choices It’s safe to say that this year’s presidential candidates are two of the most controversial people we’ve had to choose between to run our country. We’ve all heard people cracking jokes like, “Do we really have to pick?” or “I’m nervous someone’s actually going to win this election.” We seem to be forgetting that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton actually aren’t our only choices. In addition to the Republican and Democratic parties, there are two more parties on the ballot: the Libertarian Party and the Green Party. Though some may argue that voting for either of these two parties is “throwing your vote away,” this might just be the year that people who can’t stand Trump or Clinton let their consciences get the best of them and vote for one of the two underdogs. If you’re in that boat, here’s a quick rundown about the other two parties and what each of their nominees stands for. The Libertarian Party essentially leans left when it comes to social and cultural issues, such as drug and alcohol control, abortion rights, gay marriage and equal rights for women and minority groups,

and leans right on economic or financial issues, such as lowering taxes, abolishing the IRS, decreasing the national debt, allowing people to opt out of Social Security and eliminating our country’s welfare program. The only social issue that the LP tends to support that is traditionally considered a conservative concept is the second amendment, the right to bear arms. Gary Johnson is this year’s nominee. Members of the Green Party describe it as an “eco-socialist” party that supports environmentalism, nonviolence, social justice, participatory grassroots democracy, gender equality, LGBT rights, antiwar beliefs and anti-racism movements. Jill Stein is the Green Party’s nominee this year. From an economic standpoint, the party believes, according to its policy, that “all human economic activity and social and cultural wellbeing are dependent upon the integrity of self-sustaining, self-managing and natural systems.” We’re getting down to the wire in this election season, and it’s important to get informed about all of your options before you cast your vote. While you’re doing your research, make sure to be thorough and weigh out the pros and cons of all four of your options. One of the greatest rights we have as Americans is the ability to have a say in who’s making the big decisions on behalf of our country. Don’t waste your vote on someone you don’t believe in.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: The most important and lasting experience I had as a faculty member during the recent strike came from IUP students who shared their support while faculty members stood united for the future of high-quality public-university education. Students having a sit-in in the Oak Grove, students openly saying, “We support you,” students sharing food and water – these were the experiences that inspired me the most. I hope that every student on IUP’s campus will have a lasting memory of your faculty members standing up for what they believed was right. I hope you will all continue to be champions not only of the rights of workers but for all human rights throughout your careers.

Opinion

Last summer, I visited the European Solidarity Museum in Gdansk, Poland. This museum offers the opportunity to reflect on the power of social movements that successfully counter human oppression. I stood by the historic Gate No. 2 of the former Lenin Shipyard (now known as the Gdansk Shipyard) where Lech Walesa, then an unknown electrician in the shipyard, leapt over the locked shipyard wall in 1980 to help lead the successful strike of shipyard workers. He eventually won the Nobel Peace Prize. Millions of strikers and solidarity members – 10 million by 1981 – shared in the tremendous accomplishments of a movement that changed the face of Europe and reverberated around the world.

Our faculty strike was not as large and certainly will not be that famous throughout history. Yet, the sprit was the same! Faculty and students together enacted their civic responsibilities and experienced the power inherent in collective action for the common good. Students, if you have not yet visited the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, I urge you to do so. There you will witness the images and words of those in our nation who changed the world by personally standing up for what they believed was right. They encountered resistance and even hostility, but they stood up and spoke out with courage. On the wall of the center are the words of Louis Brandeis: “The only title in our democracy superior to that

of president is the title of citizen.” Your responsible activism as a citizen is essential to your nation! Thank you, students, for the courage and commitment that you demonstrated during the strike. In a democratic nation, the right to dissent is essential to true consent on what is important for the common good. You have now experienced your power as citizens – please continue to stand up, speak out, and use that power for the rest of your lives! Dr. Beatrice S.

Matt Bellassai ‘whine(d) about it’ all on stage By KRISTY SHEARER Contributing Writer K.A.Shearer@iup.edu

This article contains opinion: Matt Bellassai is one of those people who just says whatever he wants. His jokes just so happen to be all of the same thoughts you’ve had, too – you were just too afraid to say them. Bellassai entertained IUP students with those jokes Thursday in the Hadley Union

Building Ohio Room. Bellassai started out working for BuzzFeed, where he did a weekly video series called “Whine About It.” During the series, Bellassai drank wine at his desk and complained about various topics. The series became wildly popular because viewers connected with his honesty and candidness. Now, Bellassai creates his own videos and goes on tour doing live comedy shows. During his show, Bellassai talked about why he is single and wants to keep it that

way. He said he prefers not sharing food with another person, and somewhere along the way in a relationship, an unspoken rule arises that you have to share your food. He went on to say that he never wants to take care of another person when they’re sick, despite how many episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy” he’s seen. He spent a lot of his time breaking down the worst part of having a significant other. Bellassai laughed about how he was

drunk while he made the PowerPoint slides he used throughout the evening and, at one point, he genuinely didn’t know why one of the photos was included. “Matt Bellassai is just one of those people who says exactly what’s on his mind, and it turns out to be hilarious,” Jenn Kramer (sophomore, criminology) said. “He made some jokes that made even himself cringe, which just happened to make the show all the more enjoyable.”

New exhibit to encourage artists to think with the box, not outside it By AGATHA PHILLIPS Staff Writer A.R.Phillips@iup.edu

Instead of trying to fit the square peg in the round hole, multiple artists contributing to the “kyoob” exhibit will show how the two forms play together. The display will begin Thursday and will run until Dec. 8 in the Sprowls Hall Kipp Annex Gallery. “The simplicity of the cube allows for countless interpretations in material, process, surface and scale,” according to the Lively Arts’ webpage on the IUP website. “The ‘kyoob’ exhibition seeks to present a diversity of approaches to this geometric form.” Joshua Kosker and Natalie Sweet have judged the art to be selected for the show. The exhibit will be curated by Sharon Massey. “Sharon and I started discussing the idea for a ‘cube’-inspired show about a month ago,” Kosker said. “Both Sharon and I explored this

Cancellation of Thanksgiving break outrages students

IUP officials have decided to cancel Thanksgiving break in light of the recent faculty strike. Although it is an unfavorable option, the administration believes there is no other way to make up for the missed class time. “Unfortunately, we just don’t see any other way to account for all the time we missed during the strike,” said Noah Fun, director of IUP student breaks. Many students are outraged. “It’s ridiculous that we are being deprived of the opportunity to be with our families and eat real food for once,” student Russel Sprout said. The administration anticipated this type of backlash and has

decided to offer a feast at Folger Dining Hall. “We certainly wouldn’t want students to miss out on turkey, stuffing or pie,” Fun said. “That’s why we’ve decided to offer a Thanksgiving feast at Folger.” Many students are planning to protest and go home for break anyway. “There is just no way I’m missing out on Thanksgiving

break, especially when the strike was out of my control,” Sprout said. However, the administration strongly advises students not to disregard the importance of making up for the lost class time. “Although it is an unfortunate series of events, students will not earn credit for their classes if they don’t take advantage of this makeup time,” Fun said.

‘The Handmaiden’ is a lavish, erotic thriller like you’ve never seen By MOIRA MACDONALD The Seattle Times TNS

You have, I promise, never seen a movie quite like Park Chanwook’s “The Handmaiden.” It’s a period drama gone mad; a lavishly colorful, beautifully filmed eroticrevenge-crime-thriller set in 1930s Korea. Based on a contemporary novel set in Victorian England (Sarah Waters’ “Fingersmith”), it features a forbidden lesbian love affair, a villain whose tongue has turned black from ink on a fountain pen, a housekeeper who seems straight out of Hitchcock’s “Rebecca,” some “50 Shades”– worthy whipping, elaborately

laced corsets, an octopus and a plot that whips you around like a roller coaster in the dark. Just when you think you have your bearings, whoosh around another corner you go. And yet, as Park told an audience at the Toronto International Film Festival, where I saw “The Handmaiden” last month, “It’s probably the warmest of my films, with the happiest ending.” Park’s works – most notably his acclaimed trilogy consisting of “Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance,” “Oldboy” and “Lady Vengeance” – are known for dark humor and brutal violence, and while there’s some bloodshed in “The Handmaiden” – notably, some bad things happening to

unfortunate fingers – it’s restrained, by his standards. Its story, at first, seems straightforward. A young Korean pickpocket named Sookee (newcomer Kim Tae-ri) plots with a con man (Ha Jung-woo) to pose as a maid for a wealthy Japanese

woman, Hideko (Kim Min-hee), as a scheme to swindle her out of her inheritance. The action takes place in Korea during the Japanese occupation of that country; both languages are used in the film, cleverly depicted in differentcolored English subtitles. Sookee

IUP’s dominance continues in huge blowout victory at Gannon

(IUP Athletics) IUP was ranked 12th in the nation heading into Saturday’s road matchup with Gannon University. The Crimson Hawks continued their solid play and domination with a 48-3 victory, improving their record to 7-1 and 5-1 in the conference.

By EVAN MCCUE Staff Writer

E.M.McCue@iup.edu

The 12th-ranked IUP Crimson Hawks football team displayed its Halloween spirit Saturday as it put up simply frightening numbers in the first half against Gannon University. IUP punched in three rushing touchdowns in the first FOOTBALL quarter alone, with two coming from Chris Temple (junior, accounting) and one from Lenny Williams (redshirt sophomore,

accounting) as the team’s ground game continued to punish Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) competition. After controlling the ball and much of the clock in the first quarter, the Crimson Hawks found themselves with a commanding 21-3 lead heading into the second quarter. The defense came up big on the first play of the second quarter with a fumble recovery that was returned for a 58-yard touchdown by cornerback Mikale Makle (sophomore, studio art). Later on, Williams connected on a 68-yard touchdown pass to Walt Pegues (junior, communications media), who has now extended his streak of games with a reception to 30 in a row.

(IUP Athletics) Quarterback Lenny Williams has continued his explosive season under center for the Crimson Hawks. He has totaled 579 yards on the ground and 1,763 yards in the air, and has accounted for 25 total touchdowns.

Williams was not quite finished, finding JoJo Gause (redshirt freshman) on an impressive leaping grab for an eight-yard touchdown that capped off a 98-yard drive that put IUP on top, 42-3, just before the break. Many of the starters’ days were over after the first half, including Williams, who went 7 for 7 through the air for 224 yards and two touchdowns, while running the ball 10 times for 110 yards and a score. Williams ultimately accounted for 324 of the teams 508 total yards, about 63 percent of the team’s total offense, while only playing for half of the game. Pegues was the recipient of much of the passing attack, snagging three receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown.

The defense was once again an imposing force in this one, as they continued to come up big with forced turnovers. Saturday’s game included five forced turnovers, including three interceptions from Steve Franco (redshirt senior, marketing), Takhi Turner (junior, sports administration) and Nick Dubowski (senior, operations management). “We’re a bend-but-not-break kind of defense,” Dubowski said. He also had a fumble recovery and led the team with eight tackles. “We try to out-physical every team as much as we can, and that’s what we did here today,” Dubowski said. After a second half rushing touchdown from Drew Harris (red-

shirt junior, sociology), the Crimson Hawks went on to win this one in dominant fashion, 48-3. IUP has now outscored their opponents, 138-39, in their last three games, while putting up at least 500 yards of offense in the last two. The win serves as a milestone for coach Curt Cignetti, as he has notched his 50th victory in his time at IUP, and now has an overall record of 50-16 (.758) in his sixth season with the team. The Crimson Hawks improved to 7-1 on the season and have moved up a spot in the American Football Coaches Association Division II Top 25 Poll, as they now sit at No. 11. Up next for IUP will be a 1 p.m. home game Saturday against Mercyhurst University (2-7,1-5).

IUP shows resiliency and perseverance over the weekend, sweeps Millersville By JED JOHNSON Staff Writer

J.N.Johnson3@iup.edu

The IUP Crimson Hawks split their weekend series with Shippensburg University and Millersville University, keeping them within one game of both California University of Pennsylvania and Seton Hill University. IUP dropped its match against Shippensburg Friday VOLLEYBALL evening in five sets. The Crimson Hawks won the second and fourth sets in the match, but a four-point run by the Raiders in the fifth set allowed them to defeat IUP in the game-deciding set, 15-9. Alexis Anderson (junior, market-

ing) led the Crimson Hawks with 20 kills. Natalie Cignetti (junior, natural sciences) recorded the secondmost kills on the team with 19. Jessica Marut (sophomore, undecided business) eclipsed 1,000 career digs with her 28-dig performance against the Raiders. “I am very excited to hit the milestone of 1,000 digs,” Marut said. “As a defensive specialist you usually do not get much attention from an outsider. I like to call us the ‘Dirty Dish Rags,’ but hitting 1,000 digs as a sophomore is something that catches people's attention. “I have two years left, and I hope to get as close as I can to Emily Pany's record of 2,670 career digs, if not more.” Crimson Hawks head coach Scott Pennewill believes that Marut has had quick success since entering the program in 2015. “I think Jess is probably one of the most mature players that I’ve coached coming in as a freshman

as a person,” Pennewill said. “Her adjustment to the college game mirrors that maturity. “We cater not only the defense – the digs – but also the serve-

receive. We want her touching as many first contacts as we can muster.” Lindsay Moeller (senior, early childhood and special education) recorded 51 assists Friday. Shippensburg outhit Indiana, .176 to .095, as the Crimson Hawks committed 13 more attacking errors than the Raiders. Before Saturday’s game against Millersville, seniors Moeller, Lily McWilliams (nutrition and dietetics) and Kaitlyn Palmer (biology, pre-med) were honored in their last home game of their careers. Pennewill said that the occasion was bittersweet. “It’s a joyous occasion – we were fortunate to celebrate their contribution with a nice victory,” Pennewill said. “Like any last home contest, you don’t like to see your seniors leave.” Pennewill said that the three seniors were heavily involved off the court, in addition to their on-court presence. “The number of community service hours they log – you would be amazed,” Pennewill said. The Crimson Hawks swept the Marauders in straight sets, 25-15, 25-22 and 25-22. Pennewill said the team competed and was able to bounce back.

“You had an opportunity to take the conference champion to five – I think that in itself is a step for this program that we need to see,” Pennewill said. “You have a heartwrenching loss on Friday, only to turn around and come in on Saturday and sweep your opponent. That resiliency – the perseverance – is something that is very important for a successful team.” The Crimson Hawks now have a five-game road trip to close out the 2016 regular season. They start the road trip at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Friday evening before heading to Lock Haven University Saturday. Pennewill said that the team needs to become the “road warrior,” and be able to focus on distractions in a hostile environment. “Everything we do – we’re just simply getting better than yesterday,” Pennewill said. “That’s the process.” Marut believes that the team is excited going into the two road matches. “We are sitting right on the edge of making post-season playoffs – that right there is enough motivation to go into this next weekend,” Marut said. “We, as a team, will keep going into practice and working on the kinks that need fixed.”

Soccer earns playoff spot in unusual manner

(IUP Athletics) IUP soccer recognized its seniors before Saturday’s matchup with Shippensburg University.

By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

IUP hosted Shippensburg University for its final matchup of the season Saturday in a game that had playoff implications for the Crimson Hawks. In order to advance to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) playoffs, IUP would either have to tie or beat Shippensburg. In the 39th minute, IUP found themselves trailing Shippensburg, 2-1, and knew they were in need of a goal to tie the game. “If the result stayed that way, we are out,” coach Adel Heder said. Fortunately for the Crimson Hawks, Brandie Bryant (junior, kinesiology) found the back of the net for her second goal of the game and season. The game remained scoreless after Bryant’s goal despite the Crimson Hawks outshooting Shippensburg, 3-0, in overtime. With the tie, IUP got the result necessary to advance to the PSAC playoffs, but the Crimson Hawks were not pleased with the way the game ended. “We always want to win,” Heder said. If IUP had defeated Shippensburg, they would have improved their seeding in the PSAC playoffs from the eighth to seventh seed,

which would have allowed them to avoid top-seeded West Chester University. Heder does not believe IUP is truly an underdog heading into the playoffs. “I think we are the best team, and I think we will advance,” Heder said. Heder has experience coaching an eighth-seeded team to a championship. In 2004, Heder led the eighth-seeded Crimson Hawks to IUP’s second PSAC championship. Prior to the game, IUP honored five seniors during the senior day festivities. Jessica Printz (kinesiology), Kiersten Zerbe (kinesiology), Courtney McHugh (management), Kristin Buchanan (marketing) and Jeanella Hughes (nursing) were all recognized for their time spent competing for IUP. “It’s a pleasure to have these young ladies for four years,” Heder said. Heder is hopeful for the seniors’ respective futures, as well. “It makes me more proud when they email or text me saying they have a job,” Heder said. The Crimson Hawks will now travel to top-seeded West Chester to open up PSAC tournament play. IUP will play at 1 p.m. Tuesday. Following the game, the winner will face off against the winner of the Slippery Rock University vs. East Stroudsburg University game for a semifinal matchup.

Field hockey secures playoff berth in season finale against Kutztown By MATT STAUB Staff Writer

M.A.Staub@iup.edu

The IUP field hockey team earned a huge win Saturday when they defeated Kutztown University on Senior Day to earn the final playoff spot in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Before the game, IUP honored this year’s senior class, FIELD HOCKEY which includes Amber Bailey (psychology), Haley Fidler (exercise science), Ericka Griffith (pre-physical therapy), Sarah Zielinski (criminology), Olivia Young (nutrition and dietetics), Olivia Bair (health and physical

education) and Jenn Mengle (criminology). Throughout the first half, both teams remained pretty much even. Both teams recorded three shots apiece in the first half, but Kutztown held the edge in penalty corners, 4-3. Entering halftime, the score was tied, 0-0. The biggest play of the day didn’t come from a senior, but from sophomore Matti Reightler (political science). Reightler scored the only goal of the game in the 60th minute. In the second half, Kutztown managed to fire off four shots, but were unable to convert any of them into goals. IUP goalie Alyssa Lerda (senior, earth/space science) recorded four saves on the day and earned her second shutout of the season.

“There was definitely a lot of pressure to win, but we used it as motivation and to keep us focused,” Fidler said. “We fought hard throughout the entire game and refused to let up even after our goal was scored.” The win improves the Crimson Hawks to 10-7 overall and 5-5 in the conference. The team knew the magnitude of the game coming in, with the winner securing the final spot in the PSAC playoffs. The Crimson Hawks will go on the road to face West Chester University at 4 p.m. Tuesday for a PSAC quarterfinal matchup. IUP split the season series with the Golden Rams, 1-1, with West Chester winning at home in the first game of the season, 1-0. IUP defeated WCU in the second matchup, 3-2, in double overtime.

(IUP Athletics) IUP sent off its seniors with a ceremony on Senior Day in their final home game on Saturday against Kutztown University. The team will look to extend its season in the PSAC playoffs Tuesday against West Chester University.
