APSCUF one year later: The wolf came By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD Managing Editor A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself, he took a great breath and sang out, “Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!” The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces. “Don’t cry ‘wolf,’ shepherd boy,” said the villagers, “when there’s no wolf!” They went grumbling back down the hill. As we all know, a wolf eventually came for the sheep. But, Aesop’s famous story holds two important warnings: It warns a shepherd not to lie and risk losing limb and life from a lack of trust, but it also warns villagers not to test the shepherds in their area of expertise. Last October, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education tested the shepherds. It started as one of those nights that turned into days. For some, restlessness was a constant companion which simply flourished in the anticipation of each passing hour. For others, sleep was an enemy that could only be combatted with adrenaline, coffee and, of course, fear of the unknown. It was 5 a.m. Oct. 19 when more than 5,000 faculty members from across Pennsylvania halted their classes and work at each of the 14 state-funded colleges and universities. “It’s hard to believe that we are coming up on the one year anniversary of such a momentous event,” said Nadene L’Amoreaux, the IUP Association of Pennsylvania State College and Faculties chapter president and IUP counseling professor. “As I think back to the weeks that led up to the strike, I recall the angst and uncertainty felt on every level of the campus – especially for faculty and students. “This was not a decision that

was made lightly, and it was not something that the faculty wanted to do.” “I remember sitting at that table from 9 p.m. to 5 in the morning,” said Jamie Martin, statewide APSCUF vice president and IUP criminology professor, “and thinking about our students worrying about graduation. For me, and on our side of the table, I don’t want to see that ever again.” As the day went on, a weary sea of royal blue and cherry red union shirts, scarves and signs stood under a clear sky that welcomed faculty members whose toes didn’t dare brush the condemned grass on the other side of the picket line as they chanted for their cause. One day turned into two, and two days turned into three. “It just seems like it happened yesterday,” said Ken Mash, statewide APSCUF president and East Stroudsburg University political science professor. “I haven’t even had much of a chance to put it all in some bigger perspective. “I think the great thing about the strike – and the warm thing that sticks out – is the support from our students,” Mash said. “It made an impact on us all to see just how much students care about their faculty members.” Faculty members smiled and chatted as people often do through hard times. Despite the pain of what needed to be done, there was also an overwhelming buzz of excited trepidation in the air as the 14 campuses trekked into the unknown. It was a test of resolve, patience and morale for

I could not have predicted the level of passion and commitment that students demonstrated in really creative and cohesive ways. “From the sit-in in the Oak Grove, carolers who walked the perimeter of the campus, the abundant supply of refreshments deEU livered and funded by students – the CU student support SRU and response is one of the first asIUP pects of the strike that we discuss when we rememCALU ber the strike.” Many APSCUF faculty members from IUP who were particularly moved by both the frenzy of it all and the encouragement they received in their decision wrote and published a book, “Works & Days,” about their own experiences during the three-day job action.

to rub it in now.” “I think both events are worthy of commemoration,” L’Amoreaux said. “APSCUF’s history is rich, and as a faculty union, we are wellrespected throughout the country for the issues and concerns that we have taken on over the decades. In terms of numbers, we are relatively small compared to other unions. But, on those three days in October, we gained the attention of the country by our willingness to stand in solidarity. “When we commemorate events, whether the start of a new union or a labor strike – or other historical events, MU such as 9/11, D-Day or Constitution Day – we are remembering the ESU LHU people, places and BU events that shaped us, our lives, our families KU [and] our communities.

(Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties) Professors said they hope the strike shows the State System that they are intent on reaching fair contracts.

(Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education) Frank Brogan served as PASSHE’s chancellor during the strike.

Continued from page 3. “We tried to get back to normal,” Martin said, “but it hit us pretty quickly, the ‘Oh, good Lord, we have to do this again.’” In addition to considering a new round of contract negotiations, the aftermath of funding and closure threats in the spring is still affecting one university in the State System. After four of the five retrenchment letters that were submitted to different universities – including California University of Pennsylvania, Clarion University, Edinboro University and Mansfield University – last spring have been removed from the table for most universities, Cheyney University, near Philadelphia, is still battling its last letter. Mash said it’s vital to a university’s survival “to avoid something that’s so adversarial and so harmful to individual faculty.” “We’re heavily involved at the state level and in those talks,” Mash said, “both me individually and as an organization. As far as looking for mechanisms to avoid retrenchment, it’s our hope that universities will find other means to turn things around.” Letters aren’t required to be given to faculty members until Oct. 30. A busy year for APSCUF will also be influenced by former Chancellor Frank Brogan’s retirement from his position in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education in July as Clarion University President Karen Whitney was instated as the in-

the State System would be detrimental to their education. Finally, our understanding that we are educating future leaders was reinforced by the students’ behavior. While the thought of again sitting across the table from negotiators from the State System is not a pleasant one, we do believe that the tone and tenor of these negotiations will be different because of the strike. “The State System can never again claim, ‘APSCUF always threatens to go on strike, but they never do.’ They now know that we have and that we will again if necessary.” The next negotiations meeting will be in November, but Mash said he isn’t sure what – if anything – will be a contentious matter. “It’s difficult to discern until the issues get on the table,” he said. “I’m looking forward to getting it done in a way that’s fair to students and faculty and even the universities. “We have confidence that if we ever need to do anything – a job action – we can do it. Because we did do it.” “The solidarity occurred not just on our campus,” L’Amoreaux said, “but on each of the 14 campuses. I think the State System and the chancellor underestimated faculty and students. My major takeaway is that solidarity matters. We are stronger together.” “As difficult as the strike was,” Martin said, “it should have positive impact moving forward. There will be no ‘crying wolf’ mentality anymore.”

Mash and Martin both said they have high hopes that the negotiations process will look different now and the interim chancellor will be receptive. “I know we wanted to look at how we deal with the process,” Mash said. “It’s hard to say what the difference will be, though. We’ve only had one meeting so far.”

THE SOLIDARITY OCCURRED NOT JUST ON OUR CAMPUS, BUT ON EACH OF THE 14 CAMPUSES. —NADENE L’AMOREAUX (IUP APSCUF CHAPTER PRESIDENT) Martin said she hopes it’s a different process now and referred to her concluding section of the “Works & Days” book on page 32 for her overall feelings about the strike: “The APSCUF negotiation team learned many things from the process of working to secure a new collective bargaining agreement,” she wrote. “We learned that negotiations are exhausting. We learned that negotiations and mobilization go hand-in-hand. We were reminded that faculty members are willing to stand up for one another, and that they were willing to say ‘enough is enough.’ “Perhaps most importantly, we learned a lot about our students.

(IUP’s Archaeology Blog) The anthropology department held Archaeology Day last year as well, setting up activities for visitors to experience a little bit of what an archaeologist’s work includes.

Professors, students dig Archaeology Day By CANDACE HOWELL Staff Writer C.J.Howell2@iup.edu

The anthropology department will host an open house to celebrate National Archaeology Day to educate the public Saturday in McElhaney Hall. The open house will feature labs, workstations and various exhibits, some of which private collectors donated. Other historic and prehistoric items come from local areas the department is currently excavating with students, like Hannastown and Squirrel Hill. Dr. Lara Homsey-Messer, a professor in the anthropology department, and her graduate assistant, Genevieve Everett, planned and organized the attractions for this year’s open house. Their overall goal is to make anthropology a hands-on learning experience. “We’re trying to look at evaluations from the years before and make it more interactive,” Everett said. Some of the featured materials and workstations include a bone lab, where guests can see animal and human remains; 3D printers that can create plastic replicas guests can hold and outdoor spear throwing, which is always a guest favorite. “We want people to be able to touch the artifacts, explore them and learn through doing rather than just being told stuff,” Messer said. Dr. Sarah Neusius is the anthro-

pology professor responsible for starting this event in 2013. When Messer caught wind of what the event had to offer the community and students, she was excited to implement it as a student-learning project. “The students are the volunteers,” Messer said. “They set it up, they run the stations, they make the food and then Gen [Everett] supervises the whole aspect of it and its publicity.” Other volunteers who are not students come from various places to help out, including alumna Sussane Haney, who creates stone tools. Children will not be excluded and will have their own activities available in room G2. Everett is studying to become a cultural research management specialist. As part of her graduate assistantship, she helps to plan, promote and contact various contributors. “Her other duties include traveling to various places to promote anthropology and raise awareness,” Homsey said. The Archaeological Institute of America not only started the International celebration but also sets the date for National Archaeology Day each year. “[Archaeology Day] is an attempt to raise awareness of what archeologists do, preserving the past and dispelling myths,” Homsey said. “It’s not about dinosaurs or being Indiana Jones. It’s about discovering how people lived in the past and discovering our common humanity.”

OPINION

EDITORIAl

The nation has been buzzing with talk of recent allegations made against big-time Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein regarding numerous cases of sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape. Weinstein is facing allegations that date back several years and describe circumstances in which he used his status and position to coerce women into uncomfortable situations. The New York Times reported more than a dozen women came forward and accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct or rape. Weinstein denied these accusations, but many people have taken strong stances to protect the victims, including his own wife, who announced she was leaving him, and his production company, from which he was fired. Many other notable people in the film industry denounced Weinstein in the past week. The constant reporting on Weinstein created a platform on social media for people to speak out against sexual assault and harassment and talk about their own experiences. #MeToo started trending after actress Alyssa Milano tweeted a space for anyone who has been sexually assaulted or harassed to reply to her tweet with #MeToo. Milano’s goal was to demonstrate the magnitude of the issue in America. The hashtag took off overnight and was top-trending on Twitter on Monday. Early last week, actor Terry Crews also came forward and shared his story of sexual assault in Hollywood and why it was so difficult to come forward. Sexual assault and sexual harassment are very serious matters that should be at the forefront of the conversation in order to work toward a solution. The latest happening in the discussion of Weinstein’s sexual misconduct occurred during Sunday night’s football game between the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos, when play-by-play announcer Al Michaels made a remark that likened the Giants’ performance to Weinstein’s “rough” week. Michaels has since been heavily criticized for joking, “The Giants had a worse week than Harvey Weinstein,” followed by Mi-

chaels’ partner and color commentator, Cris Collinsworth, laughing it off in the booth. The Giants are off to a terrible start to their season with a 1-5 record and major injuries to several of their top players, but most people know a bad football season shouldn’t be comparable to sexual assault or rape. Michaels later went on to apologize for the comment, stating that he never meant for it to be taken in a manner which was offensive or insensitive. But the damage had been done at that point, with many people criticizing Michaels’ comments on various media platforms. The bottom line is that Michaels and Collinsworth were wrong in making light of the circumstances. There is no denying that those remarks have no place in a sports platform where people try to get away from endless political coverage and cultural controversy. Michaels handled the aftermath of his mistake in the best way he could by coming out and apologizing almost immediately after the broadcast. Was he wrong to do it in the first place? Absolutely. But there are a lot more important things going on in the world for people to focus on in all of this. Maybe Michaels’ mistake has even opened a new conversation about where jokes do and don’t belong, but singling out one person’s blunder won’t fix the larger problem.

Biology professor leads nature experiences By LAITH ZURAIKAT Staff Writer Laith.Zuraikat@iup.edu

While learning in the classroom is important, it is nice to have a chance to learn outside the traditional school environment. In fact, there are certain subjects that really lend themselves to the “real world” experience. One professor took advantage of some of the natural attractions Indiana has to offer to provide more experience in learning. IUP biology professor Dr. Michael Tyree served as a host for frequent nature-based educational experiences at several of the parks in the area. In May, Tyree led a walk around Blue Spruce Park that was focused on identifying trees, shrubs and vines common to Western Pennsylvania. In addition to identifying these plants, Tyree informed audience members of the economic, cultural and

ecological value of those trees, plants and shrubs. More recently, Tyree led another hike through Yellow Creek State Park on Saturday. “We will discuss characteristics used to identify trees as we walk along the trail,” Tyree said about the walk. “As we look at specific examples, we will discuss the ecology and human use of the plants. “We use this as a way to introduce people to the diversity of our forest trees and how the observed characteristics are used by the plants.” This walk was only one of the series of educational outdoor activities that are offered throughout the year by the Friends of the Parks Program, which is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to providing environmental education programs in the Indiana County Parks and Trails and Yellow Creek State Park. The program is overseen by

the Indiana County Parks and Trails Organization. While Tyree’s walks tend to have a mainly botanical focus, the Friends of the Parks offers a variety of different educationally focused outdoor events throughout the year, which feature a series of rotating hosts. Tyree said the topics and focuses of the events vary greatly from bird walks, to plant identification trips to looking at amphibians and reptiles. The walks are free to attend and are open to anyone who is interested. Tyree said the response so far has been positive with group sizes varying depending on what else is going on that weekend. There are several more guided tours and talks scheduled for the rest of the year by the Friends of the Parks. A list of these events can be found on its website at http://www.indianacounty parks.org/friends-of-the-park. aspx.

Wiz Khalifa’s “Rolling Papers” still burning in anticipation of new album By SETH WOOLCOCK Culture Editor S.M.Woolcock@iup.edu

This article contains opinion. Cameron Thomas, more commonly known as Wiz Khalifa, tweeted simply, “Rolling Papers 2: The Weed Album,” on May 21, 2015. Since the tweet, fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Khalifa’s seventh studio album. Now, nearly two and a half years after initial word spread of his album, fans may finally have the answer they’ve been waiting for. Khalifa posted a picture of himself on Instagram on Thursday with the caption, “Album done. Bout to drop some new music very soon.” The past few years have been interesting for Khalifa as his last self-titled album did not get the response he was looking for. The album’s more trap feel was a far cry for the authentic sound the artist is usually known for.

Following his self-titled album, Khalifa released a mixtape, “PreRolleds,” in June. Other than that, Khalifa remained quiet on the music front besides a few collaborative songs. Khalifa started a Twitter controversy on whether he should change the name of his new project from “Rolling Papers 2” to “Khalifa Kush” last month. The discussion ended with a twitter poll posted by Khalifa in favor of “Khalifa Kush” by a slim margin. Khalifa’s Twitter conversations with fans Sunday revealed he will also release a mixtape called

“Laughed Now, Fly Later” Nov. 10, prior to the new album release. Whatever Khalifa’s new album is called, it will have some very big shoes to fill. Khalifa dropped his third studio album, “Rolling Papers,” back in 2011, and some argue that “Rolling Papers” is the best album of his career. “Black and Yellow” was the first hit on this album, paying homage to the rapper’s Pittsburgh roots. The song was originally played at Pittsburgh Steelers games before it reached mainstream popularity with its catchy beat. “Black and Yellow” is now an outstanding pump-up song and anthem for the kids of Pittsburgh. “When I’m Gone,” the first song on that album, also became popular with a daring minute-long piano solo for an opener. The intro set up Khalifa’s soulful lyrics perfectly in this ballad, and the song offered an important life lesson with the words, “You can’t take your money with you when you’re gone.” Two of the most popular songs from the album, “Roll Up” and “No Sleep,” also rose quickly through the charts in 2012. “Roll Up” blends together crisp lyrics with a classic Wiz Khalifa beat while “No Sleep” can be taken as the album’s primary party anthem. Although “Rolling Papers” was filled with hits, the best two tracks came from deep within the album. “Cameras,” the 14th track on the album, can be heard as a great melody mixed with motivational lyrics. “Wake Up” tells the story of Khalifa’s struggles, which are more relatable than some of his tunes, especially in the verse, “long days, but I know hard work pays.” If Khalifa follows a similar approach in his upcoming album as he did in “Rolling Papers,” it is sure to be a hit, no matter the name.

The new Netflix series ‘Mindhunter’ looks at an elite FBI profiling unit during the 1970s By MERIDETH BLAKE Los Angeles Times TNS

To meet Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany, stars of the Netflix series "Mindhunter," you'd never suspect they recently spent 10 long months consumed by the darkest reaches of the human psyche. Groff, a charmer known for playing the lead in HBO's "Looking" and King George in the original Broadway version of "Hamilton," laughs generously as McCallany, a seasoned character actor and gabby raconteur with a booming voice, shares a story about training to throw out the first pitch at a Mets game. Yet given their obvious rapport, it's easy to see why they were cast as the leads in "Mindhunter," which debuted Friday. The psychological drama, executive produced by David Fincher and Charlize Theron, follows a pair of trailblazing FBI agents as they interrogate notorious real-life murderers in an effort to understand and maybe prevent the senseless urge to kill. Groff stars as Holden Ford, a clean-cut but open-minded young agent intent on shaking up the hidebound agency, while McCallany plays Bill Tench, a cynical veteran who asks what might be the series' central question: "How do we get ahead of crazy if we don't know how crazy thinks?" In 2017, when criminal profiling

has long since become standard practice ,and spawned an entire pop culture subgenre in the process ,the need to understand the origins of violent behavior seems obvious. But "Mindhunter" is set in the 1970s, an era when the starchy culture of the FBI still reflected the narrow worldview of longtime director J. Edgar Hoover, says McCallany. "The FBI was one of the most conservative law enforcement agencies in the world, so empathizing with killers to try to understand the traumas they experienced in their childhoods and how that gives us insight into their behavior was not something Hoover was interested in." Yet the nature of crime itself seemed to be changing radically at the time. The social turmoil of the '60s and '70s also brought with it what appeared to be a terrify-

ing new breed of brutal murderers like David Berkowitz (a.k.a. "Son of Sam"), Ted Bundy and Richard Speck who killed repeatedly and without apparent motive other than bloodlust. Establishing "means, motive and opportunity," as law enforcement officers had been trained to do, was no longer enough. The series is based on the book "Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit," a nonfiction account written by John E. Douglas, a pioneering FBI profiler who interviewed and studied some of the country's most notorious violent offenders over the course of a 25-year career. (Groff plays a fictionalized version of Douglas, who's also said to have inspired characters in "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Criminal Minds." McCallany is a fictionalized version of FBI agent Robert Ressler, believed to have coined

the term "serial killer"). Theron became familiar with Douglas' writing when she was researching serial killer Aileen Wuornos for her Oscar-winning role in Patty Jenkins' 2003 film "Monster." A few years later, she optioned "Mind Hunter,' envisioning it from the beginning as a five-season television series, one that would take a more unsettling view of criminality and human nature than your standard catch-the-bad-guyin-an-hour procedural. Douglas and his colleagues were "really climbing an uphill battle with the FBI at that time, which just really did not function on any kind of empathy or understanding of these people," Theron says by phone. "I think a huge part of where we are in understanding aberrant behavior is because of his work." "I always want to know why. Why is it that somebody has the need to control in the ultimate way like Berkowitz did or (socalled 'Co-ed Killer') Ed Kemper did? A lot of people think it's really strange, my mother included, but I think it's healthy to want to turn the light on and want to understand something that's scary." She brought the project to Fincher, a storyteller known for delving into the homicidal mind in such films as "Se7en" and "Zodiac." "I just thought he must be somewhat obsessed with serial killers the way that I am, and I was happy to find out that he was,"

she says. Theron and Fincher spent several years developing the project with writers Joe Penhall and Jennifer Haley, putting together 10 scripts and a series bible and formulating an approach that blends fact and fiction. The decision was made to take creative license with Groff and McCallany's characters, while adhering scrupulously to the real-life biographies of the killers portrayed in the series, such as Kemper. Eventually they brought the project to Netflix, which had successfully partnered with Fincher on "House of Cards." Fincher directed four episodes of "Mindhunter" and is, by all accounts, very much its creative leader. "One of the amazing things about this experience is that finally a TV show that is directorfriendly," says McCallany, who was eager to work with Fincher again after small parts in "Fight Club" and "Alien 3." "When a director is empowered on a television set the same way he would be on a film set, it's an incredible thing." For a show about serial killers, "Mindhunter" is a psychological deep-dive that features a lot more talking than gore as Theron puts it, "there is nothing about this that is fast-burning." One of its most riveting early scenes features two men conversing over egg-salad sandwiches in a prison cafeteria. "But for anyone interested in psychology rather than splatter, "Mindhunter" may be highly binge-able.

Reality show to start filming at IUP By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Staff Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

Parker “Par-T” Moore (sophomore, celebrity studies) is capitalizing on his 15 minutes of fame from a recent YouTube video that went viral during IUP Homecoming when a reality TV show started filming at IUP. Moore was caught on camera drunkenly singing karaoke on the roof of an apartment building during the festivities. He stage dived off the roof and crowd surfed while singing songs from the soundtrack of “Moana.” The video has more than 2 million views on YouTube from the week since it was posted online. Moore said he decided to embrace the video instead of being embarrassed by it. “Some people would hate to see a video like that of them posted online, but I say those people don’t know how to party,” Moore

said. “They need to embrace their inner party animal and have a little fun. “If you’re wondering, my party animal is an alpha lion. I am always the center of attention, and the party don’t start ’til I walk in.” Moore has already found a channel that will air his new IUP-based reality show, which he named “I Usually Par-T.” Once filming is complete, the show will air on University TV, (UTV). He announced that the film crew will follow him around every day for the rest of the semester,

even filming during classes. Moore’s classmates do not seem to mind the idea of a camera in class. They have expressed enthusiasm with the idea of being on film. “I love the idea,” Bea Starr (freshman, fake news) said. “Who wouldn’t want to be on camera? Maybe I’ll even get my own TV show out of this.” The easy acceptance of the idea from Moore’s classmates has made it easy for Davis’ professors to approve the filming. This includes Moore’s intro to real-

ity television professor, Cray Z. Knight. “I did the same thing while I was in college,” Knight said. “It’s how I got my big break. So, who am I to say ‘no’ to a student’s dreams? Besides, everyone should be honored to be a part of this experience. It will be a great resume builder.” According to Moore, filming for the show is set to begin by the end of next week.

“The timing is perfect,” Moore said. “Filming will begin just in time for Hallo-weekend. I don’t know exactly what is going to happen yet, but there will be enough parties that weekend that it will be the perfect time to start.” Moore said he already has his costume for that weekend ready. He said he is going as a lion because he wants to “fully embrace my inner party animal during the weekend.”

IUP football keeps it rolling with big win over SRU By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

The third-ranked IUP football team remained unbeaten after handing rival Slippery Rock University (SRU) its first loss of the season, 34-17, at its homecoming game Saturday. With the win, IUP now has sole possession of first place in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West division. SRU, which was ranked ninth in the country, was the first to strike on a 12-yard touchdown pass to close out a seven-play 75-yard drive. SRU added to its first-quarter lead as it closed out a 13-play, 86yard drive with a 27-yard field goal to end the opening quarter with a 10-0 lead. Down by 10 and pinned right outside their own end zone, the Crimson Hawks found their offensive spark off an 84-yard Samir Bullock (sophomore, management) run. The Bullock run set up the Crimson Hawks’ first score of the day, a 24-yard Dillon Sarka (redshirt sophomore, mathematics) field goal. “That was a big momentum change,” head coach Paul Tortorella said. “We got the ball on our one yard line. Then [SRU was] all up in there to stop the run, and he barely gets out of the end zone. But once he did get out, there was a crack, and he hit it. We did only get a field goal out of that, but it did turn the momentum around.” The Crimson Hawks were able to make quick work with their next possession as Lenny Williams (junior, accounting) connected with Walt Pegues (senior, communications media) for a 25-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 10.

The catch was the first touchdown for Pegues, who had been sidelined with a shoulder injury through the first five games of the season. “It’s huge having him out there even when we don’t throw him the ball because they have to worry about him,” Tortorella said. IUP was able to secure a lead before halftime as Williams hit Allen Wright (senior, management) for a 14-yard touchdown pass to give the Crimson Hawks a 17-10 lead at the half. IUP was the first to strike in the second half as Justice Evans (freshman, management) ran the ball in from four yards out to close out a 13-play, 82-yard drive. SRU answered with an 82-yard drive ending in a two-yard touchdown run, but was held scoreless for the rest of the game. IUP added to its lead in the fourth quarter with a 41-yard field goal from Sarka and a five-yard touchdown pass from Williams to Kolbe Hughes (sophomore, accounting) to close out the game, 34-17. IUP was led on defense by JR Stevens (sophomore, undecided) with two interceptions and Damon Lloyd (sophomore, kinesiology) with a team-high nine tackles. The IUP defense was able to shut down the second-ranked SRU offense, holding them to 382 total yards with only 66 rushing yards. “When we stopped their run we were playing a lot of nickel defense for coverages,” Tortorella said. “So, we were able to match up with them that way because there was really threat of the run after the first quarter.” Moving forward, IUP will travel to Clarion University to take on the Golden Eagles at noon Saturday.

(Ishaaq Muhammad/ The Penn) IUP middle linebacker Damon Lloyd (sophomore, kinesiology) led the Crimson Hawks’ defense with nine tackles in the team’s strong performance against Slippery Rock University. The IUP defense forced two turnovers – two interceptions by JR Stevens (sophomore, undecided) – and recorded two sacks in the team’s 34-17 win.

(Ishaaq Muhammad/ The Penn) Wide receiver Walt Pegues (senior, communications media), left, caught his first touchdown pass since the 2016 season with a 25-yard reception for a score against Slippery Rock University. Pegues was sidelined with an injury for the first five games of the 2017 season.

Crimson Hawks win fifth consecutive game with upset of No. 2-ranked Kutztown By KEVIN BOHAN Staff Writer

K.J.Bohan@iup.edu

IUP soccer extended its current winning streak to five games in historic fashion. The Crimson Hawks started off the week with a win at home against Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) opponent Edinboro University, and

SOCCER

continued with what could be the team’s biggest win in school history against undefeated and No. 2-ranked Kutztown University. The week started out against Edinboro on Friday, which showed no real threat to the Crimson Hawks at all, as IUP won the contest easily, 4-1. The scoring started off quick for IUP as Gianna Parlavecchio (junior, kinesiology health science) scored just two minutes into the game. It was her third goal of the season and the start of a wellbalanced offensive attack for the Crimson Hawks. The game proved to be another great showing from one of the two star freshmen goal-

keepers for IUP this year. Makenzie Witzel (freshman, natural science/math) held things together in goal to save four of the five total shots on target throughout the game. Spreading the ball around was a theme for the Hawks yet again, as all four goals were scored on assists from different players. The back end of the week saw IUP face its toughest opponent to date as it had to travel to face the Kutztown Golden Bears. Against a team that has been averaging more than three goals a game this season, it was clear that strong goalie play was going to be huge for IUP, and it got just

that from goalkeeper Madeline Smakulski (freshman, finance). The young goalkeeper posted another shutout performance on a barrage of shots from the Golden Bears to keep them scoreless throughout the game helping IUP upset the Golden Bears, 1-0. “Kutztown averaged over three goals per game, so getting our team's seventh shutout against their undefeated, nationally ranked team was unimaginable for me,” Smakulski said. “Since the beginning of the season, we've transitioned from talented individuals to a strong team. I believe that now we win games because of the way we work together”.

A key component to the team’s victory was its ability to hold on and survive, as McKenna Keffel (sophomore, marketing) scored what ended up being the gamewinning goal in the 32nd minute. The win was one of the biggest in the history of the IUP’s soccer program. Beating Kutztown, the No. 2 team in the country, was the largest win against a ranked opponent for the Crimson Hawks in 24 years. This win also improved IUP’s record to 9-4 and keeps its current win streak intact. IUP returns to action later this week against Lock Haven University as it looks to keep its win streak and hopes for a PSAC championship alive.

IUP field hockey blown out by Ship By SARAH MOLTZ Staff Writer

S.J.Moltz@iup.edu

The IUP field hockey team took a hard loss to No. 1-ranked Shippensburg University, as the Crimson Hawks fell, 9-1, Saturday afternoon at Robb Sports Complex in Shippensburg. Freshman forward Kimberly Kelly (undecided) scored IUP’s only goal, putting a point on the board at the 55:18 mark in the second half. Kelly’s goal was shot from five yards out, hitting the left post and then banking into the cage. Senior midfielder Maddie Mullen (marketing) assisted on Kelly’s goal. Along with the assist, Mullen fired four shots, two of which were on goal. Junior midfielder Matti Reightler (political science/pre law) and senior forward Brittany Thornton (sports administration) also posted one shot each against Shippensburg. Shippensburg outshot the Crimson Hawks, 29-10, with 17 of its goals at the cage. Senior goaltender Alyssa Lerda (earth/space science) had a total of three saves for IUP. The Crimson Hawks,

however, changed goalies in the beginning of the second half. Junior Olivia Accardi (communications media) stepped into the cage for IUP, her second appearance in goal so far this season. “My first thought was to just get in the net and do my very best,” Accardi said. “I wasn’t given a lot of time to prepare before heading in.” Accardi posted four saves for IUP, playing the entire second half of the game. Accardi got her first appearance of the season earlier against Seton Hill University. IUP beat Seton Hill, 6-0, in its third game of the season. “It was a hard loss,” Accardi said. “And as a team, we just need to come together. We need to focus on next weekend’s game against Bloomsburg. That game is the most important game for us right now, and that’s where we need to focus all of our attention to.” After Saturday’s loss, IUP fell to 5-9 overall and 2-5 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Shippensburg remains on top, improving to 11-2 and 6-0. The Crimson Hawks look to bounce back as they face off against Bloomsburg University in conference play at 11 a.m. Saturday.

IUP volleyball back on track with bounce-back wins By BRAD O’HARA Staff Writer

B.L.Ohara@iup.edu

After losing two out of its past three matches, the IUP volleyball team bounced back this weekend, picking up wins against Edinboro and Slippery Rock universities. The Crimson Hawks beat Edinboro on Friday, 3-0. Aces were the difference-maker in the match. IUP scored eight aces while allowing only one from Edinboro. The aces came from the hands of Katie Miller (senior, anthropology), Jess Marut (junior, marketing) and Breanna Damiani (junior, chemistry). Miller also led the team in assists with 30. IUP won again the following day, beating Slippery Rock, 3-1. Slippery Rock kept it close for the first two sets, losing the first set, 25-19, and winning the second set, 25-21. However, after the second set, IUP took over. The Crimson Hawks won both of the last two sets by more than 10 points. Natalie Cignetti (senior, natural science/pre-med) was the key player, notching 22 kills and 15 digs in the match. Momentum clearly shifted to IUP with its return home. This past weekend was the Crimson Hawks’

first home match since Sept. 30. Yet, they will have to take their talent on the road again as they play their next four matches away from Indiana. IUP will have to try to maintain its momentum until it returns home Nov. 3. Miller acknowledged the impact that a home game can have on momentum but feels confident in the team’s ability to play on the road. “A home atmosphere is definitely something that every team enjoys because the environment is so familiar, so getting into the zone is easier,” Miller said. “But, especially for our team, it is nice because we have a facility unlike any other in our conference, so being in that environment gives us an edge. “Knowing that we go out on the road again made us realize how important this past weekend was to hit that next gear in our play for the conference season.” Miller said the squad needs to trust its process and get in a rhythm the rest of the way. “By this point in the season, we are so used to traveling that it does not phase us where we have to go to play because the venue does not dictate the team that is going to show up and represent IUP,” she said.

(Ishaaq Muhammad/ The Penn) Natalie Cignetti (senior, natural science/pre-med) was one of the top contributors in the IUP volleyball team’s win over Slippery Rock University on Saturday. Cignetti recorded 22 kills and 15 digs in the victory, which was the team’s second win of the weekend.
