Officials credit calm homecoming to preparation 9-1-1 first responders answer 96 calls for service

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

IUP and community leaders held a press conference Sunday at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex (KCAC) to discuss IUP’s 2016 homecoming festivities.

Leaders from IUP, Indiana Borough, White Township and Indiana County created the Indiana Area Collaborative Team (IACT) in July 2014.

IACT is dedicated to minimizing, countering and responding to disorderly gatherings and events within the Indiana community.

One of IACT’s responsibilities includes having press conferences about homecoming to discuss the impacts of the weekend.

The press conference was led

by Matt Burglund, university editor from the IUP Office of Communications and Marketing.

Burglund informed those present that 96 calls for service were made compared to 69 calls to police and emergency services last year.

Also, IUP campus police reported 32 complaints compared to 46 from last year. Twelve arrests were made Saturday by Indiana Borough police, including nine charges for underage drinking and one for disorderly conduct. Twelve students were cited, but not charged, for alcohol and drug-related violations.

I feel very proud to be part of this community.

-Robin Gorman (IUP executive assistant to the president for government and community relations) ported two DUI arrests, three accidents, three disturbances, one theft and one underage. They also assisted Indiana Borough police with 18 calls.

Additionally, three incidents were reported that are still under investigation. One rape was reported Saturday, as well as a serious motor vehicle accident that occurred Saturday near Ninth and Water streets.

The sexual assault is in the early stages of the investigation and no charges have yet been filed.

Also, an assault with a deadly weapon occurred Saturday in the Pizza House Village. Matthew Ohler Jr., an Indiana resident, was charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault and a felony count of possession with intent to deliver narcotics.

Ohler was arrested after reportedly brandishing a firearm at the off-campus apartment complex.

When police arrived, he fled the scene, but he was found and arrested. It is believed no shots were fired. Ohler is not an IUP student.

Despite the arrests and other incidents, a positive theme emerged

from the press conference, with speakers continually saying the weekend was a success.

Brianna Drylie, chair of the homecoming parade and a staff member of the Center for Multicultural Student Leadership and Engagement (MCSLE), said the parade had “a great turnout” with more people turning out this year than in the past. She attributed the higher numbers to the good weather.

As for the fraternities and sororities, Michael Van Etten (senior, natural sciences), president of the Interfraternity Council, also spoke highly of Greek Life throughout the weekend. He said that it was great seeing Greek Life step up and do its part by mentioning the various efforts the organizations were taking.

“Each Greek organization was assigned a strip of the parade route to clean up after the parade as well as [Sunday’s] cleanup,” Van Etten said.

Van Etten also said that he was

“very proud, today, [Greek Life] was not attributed to any of the criminal activities.”

The local county commissioners also discussed their perspectives on the weekend.

Mike Baker, chairman of the Indiana County Board of Commissioners, expressed gratitude to 9-1-1 first responders and their contributions so that officers on the ground could be successful.

He echoed what was a common theme from the various speakers by calling the weekend events successful and reminding people that there were no major incidents.

“From a county government perspective, we had no major incidents we responded to,” Baker said. “We weren’t just lucky. We were prepared. All in all, I think we’ve experienced a successful homecoming.”

Baker, as well as others, also congratulated the IUP Crimson Hawks football team on its 48-19 victory over Slippery Rock University.

Also, Rod Ruddock from the Indiana County Board of Commissioners continued the theme of positivity expressed by those present.

“The students here this year were superb,” Ruddock said. “The students were very courteous.

“I think you set a standard here this year that will be tough to achieve in the future. I think there’s a lot to be proud of in Indiana County.”

Robin Gorman, IUP executive assistant to the president for government and community relations, concluded the press conference by thanking everyone who helped make the homecoming weekend possible, including IUP students.

Also, she touched on one of the main reasons why there were considered no major incidents.

While parties did happen, she said no large, rowdy gatherings occurred that were out of control – something that has been a problem in the past. IACT cited increased cooperation from landlords, better lighting and private security as major reasons behind the lack of large gatherings.

“I want to thank all of our partners,” Gorman said. “I, too, want to thank our students. I was really impressed. There were gatherings, but they weren’t nuisances. I feel very proud to be part of this community.

“We need to continue being ready. Because we are prepared, I think that has made a difference.”

Friday’s negotiations yielded no results, Saturday’s APSCUF press release stated.

“The State System published proposals on its website that reiterate their team’s desire to cut the pay of our adjunct faculty, who are our most vulnerable colleagues,” Dr. Ken Mash, APSCUF president, said in Friday’s press release.

Students rally to support faculty before job action commences Continued from Page 4 “Eighty percent of adjuncts are at the bottom of the instructor pay scale, and they’ll always be at the bottom. And 60 percent are women,” Mash said.

Mash spoke about this pay cut issue being one of pay equity during an Oct. 5 live stream press conference on Facebook.

“We remain shocked that anyone involved with the System or our universities would advocate such a proposal,” he said.

In the last press release before the embargo, Mash reiterated that APSCUF and the State System were both interested in agreeing on a fair contract, and that neither party wanted the strike to commence Wednesday.

“We should all be focused on getting a deal this weekend,” Mash said.

In response to the potential strike, Robert Wilt (junior, psychology/philosophy) and Abby Panek (junior, philosophy) led an information session on behalf of Students for Faculty, a new group at IUP meant to show the solidarity between students and faculty during this chaotic period of time.

Students for Faculty is not an officially recognized organization, but it does exist at all 14 state schools.

“I’m kind of sentimental about my professors, and they mean the world to me,” Panek said.

“I hate to see them struggling and they have to worry about their salaries. Without educators, we don’t have anything.”

Wilt got his information from a

recent APSCUF meeting he said that he had attended in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building.

Panek shared information she got from a faculty meeting at the College Lodge held earlier Monday.

Wilt addressed some of the rumors being shared about what students should do and should expect. He told students that not attending class during the strike should not affect students’ grades because the professors who are striking most likely won’t hold it against them.

However, he also reminded them that Chancellor Frank Brogan told students they are supposed to go to class.

Wilt emphasized that, ultimately, students should talk to their individual professors about their expectations.

Panek told students that the potential strike would be a dayto-day thing and that it could end anytime.

For students who want to show support, Panek and Wilt suggested participating in a walk-out on Wednesday, wearing red and blue

in support of the union, giving verbal support or bringing them food and water.

Panek also told students that they “are allowed to peacefully protest on campus as students.”

However, Wilt and Panek reminded students that standing at the picket line with professors is not the best plan and not supported by faculty.

APSCUF faculty members will go on strike at 5 a.m. Wednesday if the State System has not bargained a contract that APSCUF believes is fair to students and members by that deadline.

Students “are allowed to peacefully protest on campus.”

Though a strike authorization vote has taken place for coaches, APSCUF Coaches’ Leadership and Executive Council has not yet called for a strike or job action for the coaches’ unit, according to APSCUF Coach Executive Leader John Gump.

Unless a strike would be called specifically for the APSCUF NonFaculty Athletic Coaches’ unit, coaches are to report to work.

Coaches can offer support to their striking faculty colleagues, like picketing, during times they are not working, but not during their work time.

“Death by Cyanide” comes to life with author’s visit

By ASHLEY OREWILER Staff Writer A.E.Orewiler@iup.edu

IUP hosted alumna Paula Reed Ward Friday to present her new book, “Death by Cyanide: The Murder of Dr. Autumn Klein.”

Ward currently works as a courts reporter for the Pittsburgh PostGazette, where she was assigned to cover the case that is discussed in her 248-page book.

But “Death by Cyanide: The Murder of Dr. Autumn Klein” is not just a retelling of a murder case.

Ward instead wanted to expose the humanity in what seemed to be the most inhumane case.

In April 2013, Dr. Autumn Klein, a 41-year-old head of women’s neurology at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, was found dead in her home where she, her husband, Dr. Robert Ferrante, and their 6-year-old daughter, Cianna, lived.

Klein’s toxicology results revealed lethal dosages of cyanide.

Ferrante also worked at UPMC as a neurologist, and had just so happened to recently purchase cyanide for a research project on Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Ward wanted the people to see what she saw in the case. She saw a very intelligent couple with a daughter they loved. Aside from the 23-year age gap between the spouses, they lived what seemed like a very normal life. Ward wanted to know: “Why poison? Why not divorce?”

Ward proposed her project to her editor at the Post-Gazette. Immediately, she was given the go-ahead to peel away at the cyanide case.

During her presentation, Ward explained the challenges she faced while writing her book. Switching from AP to Chicago style writing was her least favorite part of the journey.

“I have to actually spell numbers out,” Ward joked with the crowd.

From an emotional point of view, Ward went on to say that it wasn’t the emotional attachment to Klein or Ferrante that was hard.

(Ishaaq Muhammad/ The Penn) Paula Reed Ward, IUP journalism alumna, presented Friday on her new book.

“It was challenging to balance being respectful while also staying loyal to the story,” Ward said.

Ward was referring to the countless number of colleagues who refused to comment on either of the doctors.

Ward also recalled reaching out to Ferrante’s first wife, and how she stood outside of the woman’s house debating whether or not to knock on the door. However, not everything was challenging for Ward.

Her ability to be impartial elevated Ward as an author and helped her show all sides of the case. She went on to say how horrible a juror she would have been because of it.

Ward prided herself in unveiling the humanity of Ferrante, whom to this day denies he poisoned his wife. She noted that, throughout her book, she transitions from “Bob” to “Ferrante.”

This small detail that most readers won’t even notice was important to Ward. This was her way of showing that Ferrante was a normal family man until the conviction.

Ward ended the hour explaining how she got to know Klein through other people. She said that she believes she and Klein had very similar lifestyles and may have become friends. Ward wants her book to serve as a memoir of Klein, and hopes it comforts Cianna in her later life.

“Death by Cyanide: The Death of Dr. Autumn Klein” was published Oct. 4 and is available for purchase on Amazon for $27.95.

WAC, writing center to sponsor National Day on Writing Carnival

(The Penn archives) The IUP Writing Center, located in Eicher Hall, frequently encourages students to visit by offering free events during which they can practice and improve their writing.

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

The Kathleen Jones White Writing Center and the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program are working together to put on a National Day on Writing Carnival from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday in the first floor lobby of the Humanities and Social Sciences Building.

National Day on Writing was officially recognized by Congress in 2009, and it is celebrated each year by the National Council of Teachers of English.

IUP has been celebrating National Day on Writing since its founding in 2009.

While the writing center and the WAC program have celebrated National Day on Writing before, this is their first time doing so with a carnival theme.

In the past, the two programs have celebrated with different events such as an open-mic reading at Commonplace Coffeehouse and Roastery, a live tweet-a-thon in the library and a handwritten notes event.

For this year’s carnival, writers and writing-related organizations from across IUP will celebrate with free food, music, games and entertainment including Michael Roy, a Cirque du Papier artist.

Roy is an “origami artist and juggler who creates exquisitely handcrafted folding art right before the

eyes of astonished and delighted guests,” according to his website.

Participating organizations are putting together activities or presentations that will engage students regarding writing.

Some organizations that will be participating include the IUP Haven Project, the art history department and the New Growth Arts Review.

Some of the activities that will be available for students include a create-your-own meme station, writing a postcard to students studying abroad, word darts and a WAC version of the popular carnival duck game.

Melissa Lutz, a staff member at the IUP Writing Center, explained why the event is important and why students should attend.

“This event is important because it helps the campus community to come together to celebrate something we all do – write,” Lutz said.

“Students will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of fun writing activities as well as learn about many of the campus publications and organizations.”

Lutz also said social media is important to the success of National Day on Writing.

She encouraged students and members of the IUP community to tweet all day in celebration of National Day on Writing, using various hashtags including #NCTE, #NDOW, #IUP_WAC, #whyIwrite and #IUPWrites.

Homecoming win reminds IUP football of value, significance With rumors of an expected strike to take place on Wednesday by IUP faculty, many people have expressed concern about what the coaching staffs of IUP athletic teams will do in regard to the strike. It is expected that the coaches of Crimson Hawk teams will continue with their duties, at least for the time being.

In what seems to be the only good news coming out of this strike, IUP athletes have got to be pleased that they can continue to participate in at least a part of their normal routine. With fall sports in full swing, at least some of the people at IUP, the athletes and coaches, will have some normalcy in what is expected to be a hectic week. It is certainly a good thing for the coaches to still report and go about their business in the athletic department.

IUP sports are in a good place right now coming off a typical crazy homecoming weekend. Most

notably, IUP football got back on track with a big blowout win over archrival Slippery Rock University on Saturday at George P. Miller Stadium. The 48-19 victory was IUP’s fifth win of the season and proved to be a bounce-back game for the team following its loss to its other rival, California University of Pennsylvania, a week prior to Saturday’s victory.

With the strong and proud tradition of IUP football and its success, alumni who returned to Indiana for the weekend had to like what they saw from the No. 13 Crimson Hawks. Quarterback Lenny Williams (redshirt sophomore, accounting) is one of the topics that comes to mind when breaking down the team’s success this season.

Williams has been stellar for IUP and has brought consistent quarterback play to the program, something that has been lacking in previous seasons with what seemed to be a revolving door or multi-quarterback systems for the Crimson Hawks.

Make sure to check Williams and the rest of the Crimson Hawks out for yourself when they take the field at 1 p.m. Saturday to host Clarion University of Pennsylvania.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Letter to the Editor During homecoming weekend, I returned to Waller Hall, where I spent most of my waking hours as a theater major. I was in the audience for a performance of “We Are Proud to Present a Presentation about the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, from the German Süwstafrika, Between the Years 1884–1915.”

I haven’t stopped thinking about that performance since.

During the performance, I laughed, I cried, I got angry and I clenched the arms of my chair with white knuckles while my heart pounded because I was so entranced by what was happening on stage and so afraid of what might happen next.

After the performance ended, I felt emotionally drained. My head was spinning from the intensity and honesty of what I had just witnessed.

But that was only the beginning, because after the performance the audience

We recognize that these conversations are necessary, but they are also difficult, and so we avoid them, or we have them online rather than in person.

I stated during the conversation after the performance that I had never been so uncomfortable watching a piece of theater before, and I meant it. I’ve also never been so grateful to have watched a piece of theater before.

So thank you, Theater-by-the-Grove, for providing us with not only the fodder for that conversation, but also the safe space to have it.

Mac Miller kicks off homecoming weekend with dynamic performance

By SAMANTHA BELL Lead Culture Writer S.M.Bell@iup.edu

Mac Miller kicked off IUP Homecoming Thursday night at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex (KCAC) with a highenergy performance that left students chanting for more.

Doors opened at 7 p.m., and the audience was warmed up by a performance by Travis Porter.

When Porter was finished, Mac Miller made his appearance two hours after the doors opened.

“Even though Mac seemed to take forever to get on stage, it was worth the wait,” Marissa Hardy (junior, communications media) said.

“I grew up in a town not too far from here called Pittsburgh,” Miller said to a crowd of shrieking students when he got on stage.

He started the performance with his single “Cinderella” from his latest album, “The Divine Feminine.” However, according to one student, most people were quiet during newer songs.

“I was annoyed because no one really knew the words to his new album,” Taylor

Smith, (senior, early childhood education/ special education) said. “I loved his new album, though, so I loved it.”

Miller also incorporated some of his more recognizable hits, including “Watching Movies.”

Miller didn’t allow the morale of the crowd to waver for a moment. He kept urging fans to sing along with him and “turn all the way up” during certain songs. His directions were followed by chaotic screams.

Some fans were anything but polite at the concert, and one thing is for sure: security had a busy night.

Several security officers were forced to shout at students as they shoved their way through the crowd.

After finishing the hit “When in Rome” from his album “GO:OD AM,” Miller thanked the crowd and hurried off stage.

Students then started to shout “Donald Trump! Donald Trump!” in an attempt to get the Pittsburgh native to perform his only single from the his “Best Day Ever” mixtape.

Ignoring the requests and timeliness of the song, Miller didn’t give in. Instead, he granted students a more meaningful, mellow song: “Best Day Ever.”

Herero teaches audience of oppression in Namibia

(Ishaaq Muhammad/ The Penn)

Dalton Bright (left) and Sniya Johnson (right) gave audience members insight into the stuggles of German rule.

By TYLER SCHEFFLER Staff Writer T.R.Scheffler@iup.edu

The IUP College of Fine Arts is presenting a live-action presentation that will run through Saturday in Waller Hall, titled “We are proud to present a presentation about the Herero of Namibia, formerly known as Southwest Africa, from the German Sudwestafrika, between the years of 1884-1915.”

The show, called “We Are Proud to Present…” for short, will tell the story of the Herero tribe of Namibia (formerly Southwest Africa) and their genocide at the hands of German colonizers.

Explaining and acting out the tale of the Herero tribe will be Grant Hoogstraten (senior, theater), Sequcoy B. DeShields (junior, theater), Dalton K. Bright (senior, theater), Basil R. Ferguson (senior, theater and communications media), Sydnee Elder (senior, musical theater) and Sniya Johnson (junior, theater).

The story of the Herero is told through a collection of letters written by a German officer of the Sudwestafrika to his wife, Sarah.

These letters give you a mild perspective of what life is like for the Germans and the Hereros as their failed attempts to coexist kickstart the first major genocide of the 20th century.

Therefore, controversial topics, such as if the genocide even took place, will be discussed, since the letters don't address the harsh treatment of indigenous people.

Oppression and ignorance will also be key themes to reflect upon as this presentation presses audiences to think of what we can learn from history.

After the play, the actors will give a short presentation explaining the time period the Herero suffered under German colonialism rule.

This piece of history ties into issues that are relevant today, such as Black Lives Matter and global racism and genocide.

More information concerning the times of these presentations can be found on the IUP College of Fine Arts webpage.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the Fisher Auditorium box office for $10 for I-Card holders, and $15 for regular admission.

Homecoming events inspire police to issue martial law

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

Out-of-hand homecoming events have forced Indiana Borough police to place campus under martial law.

Martial law gives the military the power to suspend the ordinary law and enforce their own. It originated during the Civil War by the order of President Abraham Lincoln.

“Students will need to report to their homes, apartments or dorms by 8 p.m. on weekdays and 10 p.m. on the weekends as of next week,” General George McMillen said.

“Anyone violating these laws will spend the night in county jail, be cited with after-dark presence and be given a $500 fine.”

Many new rules will be installed, and students can find those rules on MartialLawIUP.com.

WARNING

MARTIAL LAW IN EFFECT

A few rules that are “very important,” according to McMillen, are remaining inside at night, wearing your campus uniform and walking under 3.5 miles an hour at all times.

The martial law will also institute a prohibition on all alcohol in the borough if you are a student or under the age of 25, according to section 105:09. Cough medicine in large doses may only be purchased or administered by someone over the new legal age.

“Students must report to their classes without making unapproved pit stops in other buildings,” McMillen said.

The new law will be installed for the remainder of the semester and will be evaluated for effectiveness during finals week.

“Students won’t have to worry about distractions,” he said.

Positive morale will be rewarded by the new system, according to McMillen. If a student has no citations at the end of each month, the military will allow them to order Insomnia Cookies after their curfew.

“These new rules are for your own safety,” McMillen said.

“You will likely find you become more successful and happier throughout the process.”

Tyler Perry stars as Madea in the new movie “Boo! A Madea Halloween.”

By GREG BRAXTON Los Angeles Times TNS

Chris Rock does not appear in "Tyler Perry's Boo! A Madea Halloween." But the comedy, which opens Oct. 21, would probably not exist without him.

In his 2014 film "Top Five," Rock's filmmaker character made a joke about audiences flocking to see a film called "Boo! A Madea Halloween." Rock contacted Perry for permission to use the quip, and Perry obliged.

When executives at Lionsgate, which has partnered with Perry on his films, heard the joke, they called Perry, saying it sounded like a great idea for an actual movie.

The religious Perry, not a fan of witches and demons, whose films and plays have a faith-based message, hesitated.

"But then I thought of a clever way to do it," he said, "and it worked out."

In the film, Madea, who is spending Halloween keeping an eye on her boy-crazy great-niece, winds up facing off against zombies and other scary creatures. Perry has called the film his "funniest yet." A preview audience at an early screening in Atlanta laughed consistently at the comic mayhem.

The Madea character has been at the core of Perry's successful empire with 2009's "Madea Goes to Jail" scoring more than $95 million and "Madea's Witness Protection" in 2012 netting north of $65 million at the box office.

His non-Madea films which include

"Why Did I Get Married?" have also performed well.

He is one of three directors, the others being Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, who have had nine films open with more than $20 million.

On his films and TV series, Perry exerts almost total creative control producing, writing, directing and sometimes appearing.

He scored an unprecedented $200 million deal with TBS in 2007 to produce "House of Payne," a family sitcom, even though he had never produced a minute of television. The premiere drew record ratings and introduced the 10/90 model of syndication, in which a cable station buys 10 episodes of a series, and if the ratings are good, 90 more are ordered.

When Perry made an exclusive deal with Oprah Winfrey's OWN network to produce the outlet's first scripted series, those shows, including the soap opera "The Have and the Have Nots," helped reverse the fortunes of the outlet, which had been struggling since launching in 2011, and still remain among the network's biggest hits.

In addition to his other OWN shows "If Loving You Is Wrong," "Love Thy Neighbor" and "For Better or Worse," Perry's "Too Close to Home," about a young woman confronting her troubled past after an alleged affair with the president of the United States, premiered in September to strong ratings on TLC and has already been renewed for a second season.

Kings of Leon release new album IUP-TV Weekly Schedule

By GLENN GAMBOA Newsday TNS

Kings of Leon have grown up.

The once shaggy-haired, wildeyed Followills brothers Caleb, Nathan and Jared and cousin Matthew look far more wholesome now, perhaps, in part, due to the influence of singer Caleb's wife, supermodel and Taylor Swift squad member Lily Aldridge. And they sound more wholesome, too.

Their seventh album, "WALLS" (RCA), short for "We Are Like Love Songs," is mostly sleek and polished and far more poporiented than anything else they have ever done, though the band

does sort of ease into it.

The opener and first single, "Waste a Moment," sounds like it could fit next to "Sex on Fire" on the band's Grammy-winning "Only by the Night" album, while the scruffy rock of "Reverend" feels like it could go even further back.

By the time we reach the chugging, six–minute epic "Over," though, the shift becomes clearer.

The track, about Caleb's onstage meltdown in 2011 that put the band on hiatus, balances between verses where Caleb sounds like he's channeling Interpol and a verse that's so poppy it could have come from One Direction's last album.

"Conversation Piece" falls

Friday’s Puzzle Solved

(Flickr) “Walls” was released Friday.

somewhere between Pearl Jam and Coldplay, which may come from new collaborator producer Markus Dravs, who handled Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto" album.

That middle ground seems to hold some appeal for the band, considering how the piano-driven "Walls" and the midtempo "Wild" hover there as well.

"WALLS" feels like a transitional album, a way for the band to move to more radio-friendly middle ground without scaring off its Day One fans. For those fans, though, the edgier stuff, like the gloriously weird "Muchacho," will probably still hold their attention more.

rocks Slippery Rock in blowout win

By EVAN MCCUE Staff Writer

E.M.McCue@iup.edu

Homecoming weekend serves as a chance for the IUP alumni to make the pilgrimage back to their alma mater to catch up with old friends and take part in the weekend’s festivities.

For many, the IUP FOOTBALL vs. Slippery Rock University game is the highlight of their weekend, and those that made the trip to the game Saturday afternoon were not disappointed.

In the game’s initial moments, the Crimson Hawks set the tone with 24 points.

Among the 24 first quarter points was a first-play, 89-yard touchdown pass from Lenny Williams (redshirt sophomore, accounting) to receiver Allen Wright (junior, accounting) that electrified George P. Miller Stadium. That touchdown was followed by another dynamic play, this one coming from the defensive side of the ball, with a 49-yard fumble recovery for a score from Jay Watkins (redshirt junior, sports administration).

If that was not enough first quarter excitement for IUP fans, then surely their appetites were satisfied after a 51-yard touchdown pass to Wright once again, except this time coming from the hand of wide receiver Zac Kelly (freshman, criminology) on a reverse pass that once again sent the sold-out stadium into a frenzy.

After setting the tone early on, IUP continued its dominance on both sides of the ball, going up 31-6 in the second quarter after a 15-yard touchdown reception from running back Chris Temple (junior, accounting).

Williams then punched in a oneyard touchdown run to cap off a four-play, 72-yard drive to ultimately put the team in the driver’s seat with a 38-6 second quarter lead.

The second half included little drama, as IUP controlled the clock in an effort to protect its large lead.

After a couple of scores from both teams, the game ended with a final score of 48-19, as IUP snapped a stretch of three-straight losses to SRU, earning its first victory against the rivals since 2012.

IUP coach Curt Cignetti seemed to feel some relief after the victory.

“It was a very satisfying day,” he said. Some notable performances included 244 passing yards and two touchdowns from Williams, whose status entering the game was questionable after suffering an injury last week against California University of Pennsylvania.

Wright had a breakout game of his own with 185 receiving yards and two touchdowns coming off of just six receptions.

Running back Samir Bullock (freshman, management) continued his impressive start to his career, racking up 120 yards on 21 rushing attempts.

Bullock, also coming off an injury, got back on track with his stellar performance. Walt Pegues (junior, communications media) had 73 receiving yards on just two catches while making his return to the Crimson Hawk lineup after being sidelined with injury against Cal U.

(Ishaaq Muhammad/ The Penn) Quarterback Lenny Williams celebrated after one of his his two passing touchdowns in Saturday afternoon’s blowout win against archrival Slippery Rock University. IUP alumni started the celebration early after the Crimson Hawks put up 24 points in the first quarter alone. Williams accounted for 244 yards in the air and an additional rushing touchdown on the ground.

Despite the convincing victory over the 16th-ranked Slippery Rock team, IUP did not climb the national rankings, and are still ranked 13th in the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) poll.

The Crimson Hawks now sit at 5-1 on the season and 3-1 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) games, trailing only California University in the standings.

The team will host Clarion University at 1 p.m. Saturday and will look to remain undefeated in front of the home crowd this season in their pursuit of a PSAC championship.

IUP splits in weekend conference matches

By JED JOHNSON Staff Writer

J.N.Johnson3@iup.edu

The IUP Crimson Hawks split their series against Slippery Rock University and Edinboro University on the road Friday and Saturday, bringing their Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) record to 5-4.

IUP defeated Slippery Rock, 3-1, in Friday’s VOLLEYBALL match, losing only the third set.

The Crimson Hawks out-hit The Rock, .277 to .181.

Natalie Cignetti (junior, natural sciences) led the Crimson Hawks with 21 kills, tying her season-high.

Lily McWilliams (senior, nutrition and dietetics) and Alexis Anderson (junior, marketing) also recorded double-digit kills, with 15 and 11, respectively.

Cignetti, McWilliams and Anderson have all performed above

(IUP Athletics) Natalie Cignetti (junior, natural sciences) (right) led IUP with 21 kills in Saturday’s victory over Slippery Rock.

Crimson Hawks head coach Scott Pennewill’s expectations heading into the 2016 campaign. “[Cignetti] is sitting No. 1 in the conference in kills – she does everything for us and has risen her

level from the previous season and is playing even better,” Pennewill said. “Lily [has been] doing a lot of work as a six-rotation player. That’s the evolution of the opposite position for me – I want that player to

be an offensive option whether she’s in the front row or the back row, and be able to do it fast. “[Anderson] has become a sixrotation player as well, although we have given some time to KP [Kaitlyn Palmer, senior, biology, pre-med] just because her side-out passing has been coming on here of late, but Lex being third in the conference in service aces – being always a pretty high-efficiency hitter – I think that also has lent itself to some success.”

Gabby Egler (junior, psychology) led IUP with nine blocks.

The Crimson Hawks were unable to increase their winning streak against Edinboro, dropping their contest with the Fighting Scots in straight sets.

The Fighting Scots won their 16th-straight game after starting their season off 0-4.

Cignetti led the Crimson Hawks with 12 kills.

Despite having only 14 errors, their sixth-fewest amount in the 2016 campaign, and out-killing Edinboro, 37-34, the Crimson Hawks were out-hit, .252 to .202.

Pennewill said that the team played well against Edinboro, but there were moments that swung the match in favor of the opposition.

“You have the opportunity to separate, and we couldn’t do it at that moment – that’s when we would make an uncharacteristic error,” Pennewill said. “[Hitting] percentage-wise, we

were 50 points below, but a kill is a kill and that’s a point, so there are other areas that came up that caused us not to separate.

“To separate against Edinboro, you must win the serve serve-receive battle.”

The Crimson Hawks have a four-game homestand over the next two weeks, hosting Seton Hill Friday evening and California University of Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon.

“We need to play well against better competition,” Pennewill said.

“The main category that will make that happen is hitting efficiency – I think when you look at [the] number of kills, especially our pin hitters – they’re decent numbers.”

Pennewill said that he expects the team to play well every time they go on the court.

“Players reach a point where they say, ‘OK, I’m capable of doing something – can we reproduce it?

Can we perform consistently day in and day out?,’’’ he said.

“Therein lies the difference between having success and not having success.

“It’s a matter of making the same effort, giving the same kind of determined performance and raising it to the level that you’re playing.

The best play their best against the best, and that’s what we should be expecting coming into [the last four games in the homestand].”

Field hockey secures win of its own against SRU

(IUP Athletics) Matti Reightler (sophomore, political science) scored her third goal of the season in Saturday’s win at Slippery Rock. Reightler was the team’s leading goal-scorer last season.

By MATT STAUB Staff Writer

M.A.Staub@iup.edu

The IUP field hockey team easily defeated Slippery Rock University, 3-1, Saturday afternoon.

With the win, the Crimson Hawks improved their overall record to 7-5 and 3-3 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC).

Matti Reightler FIELD HOCKEY (sophomore, political science), Madelyn Mullen (junior, marketing) and Amber Bailey (senior, psychology). all scored goals for IUP. Kimberly Kelly (freshman, fashion and interior design) and Bailey each recorded assists on the day, as well.

The Crimson Hawks went into the half leading, 3-0. At that point, they had outshot Slippery Rock, 5-1, and held the advantage in penalty corners, 5-2.

Slippery Rock scored a goal in the second half, but they were unable to form any sort of comeback, as the defense from IUP was just too strong.

Slippery Rock out-shot IUP in the second half, 10-1.

They also held the advantage in penalty corners, 10-2.

They were unable to capitalize, though, as IUP goalkeeper Alyssa Lerda (senior, earth/space science) was strong in the cage all day and finished with eight saves.

The Crimson Hawks will play the third game of their four-game road stretch against East Stroudsburg University at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.

East Stroudsburg is currently ranked second in the PSAC with a 12-3 overall record and 6-1 conference record.

S.J.Moltz@iup.edu

The IUP Crimson Hawks closed their 2016 fall season with an 8-1 win over West Chester Friday afternoon in Indiana.

Jarka Petercakova (senior, interior design) and Luise von Agris (junior, TENNIS interior design) opened the match with an 8-2 doubles win, helping the team sail to an 8-1 victory over West Chester in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) women’s tennis crossover match.

This was a rematch of last spring’s PSAC team semifinals, which was also easily won by the Crimson Hawks, 5-0. Petercakova and von Agris defeated West Chester’s Maddy Shaak and Clair Uhl, the same pairing they beat in the double’s title at

last week’s championships.

Raquel Gonzalez (senior, business management) and Ekaterina Minchenkova (freshman, undeclared business) won over Rylee Power and Graclyn Towler, 8-4, at the second doubles spot.

The other Crimson Hawk pairing, Sophie Butland (senior, exercise science) and Rachel Wood (senior, criminology), won with a duplicate 8-4 win over West Chester’s Sophie Rathmell and Alyssa Rees. Wood opened the singles play with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Abriana Nolan.

Both Minchenkova and Mariana Valenzuela (freshman, cell and molecular biology) defeated their opponents: Minchenkova defeated Ranthemell, 6-1, 6-1, and Valenzuela defeated Steph Cifaraelli, 6-1, 6-2.

Gonzalez picked up a 6-4, 6-1 win over Power and von Agris won over Shaak by a score of 6-3, 6-1.

The IUP’s women’s tennis team will return to the court in the spring semester.

IUP soccer earns big road victory over Millersville

By SEAN FRITZ Sports Editor

S.D.Fritz@iup.edu

The IUP Crimson Hawks soccer team set off on a road trip Saturday for a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) matchup with Millersville University.

The Crimson Hawks were coming off a tough loss to No. 11 West Chester University a week ago, and were desperate to get back on track as they continue PSAC play.

This one started off well for the Crimson Hawks, as they recorded two shots within the first five minutes of the game, one of which came off the foot of Kristen Baumgartner (junior, biology) that reached the net forcing a big-time early save from Millersville goalkeeper Samantha Wolfe.

Both teams went back and forth with shots, forcing the other to be strong at both ends of the field.

With IUP firing off the majority of the shots and putting themselves in scoring opportunities, they wouldn’t cash in until the 27th minute of the contest.

Kiersten Zerbe (senior, kinesiology) got the Hawks on the board with her second goal of the season.

Minutes later, IUP added to the lead when McKenna Keffel (freshman, marketing) notched her third tally of the season in the 31st minute.

As the scoring chances got tough as the half dwindled, it was Millersville who broke through and cut the lead in half with a goal of their own coming in the 43rd minute just before the half. In the second half, the defensive play of both teams stood strong, causing a back-and-forth type matchup

SOCCER

with each team going on offensive surges.

IUP recorded five shots in the half but failed to get that impactful insurance marker that they were in search of. Millersville, on the other hand, recorded seven shots in the second half while in desperation mode to tie the game. IUP was able to hold off the offensive push from Millersville, in particular the one later in the game where they recorded four shots against the Crimson Hawks in an effort to tie the game.

As time expired, the Crimson Hawks went on to secure this one by the score of 2-1.

IUP was able to control and limit the chances of Millersville, holding them to 15 shots, with only two of those shots reaching the net, and goalkeeper Jessica Printz (senior, kinesiology) was able to come up big and record her only two saves of the game.

On the other end, the offense of IUP, which has had its fair share of struggles and has been plagued with inconsistency at times, managed to record 18 shots with 11 of those reaching the goal.

This is the complete performance IUP has been looking for over the past few games. After having a nice start in their previous game against West Chester and not being able to hold off the West Chester scoring surge of the second half, IUP did a much better job through all 90 minutes in this game. The Crimson Hawks now improve their record to 10-6 overall and 7-5 in the PSAC, a mark that puts them in a tie with Shippensburg University for seventh in the conference, and only a point behind Gannon University, who has 22 compared to IUP’s 21 points.

The team will look to build on Saturday’s victory hoping to gain momentum down the stretch, as they prepare for what they beleive will be a PSAC tournament berth.

Next, they will take on Seton Hill University at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
