    IUP Breezes Past Mansfield
    in PSAC Contest



    
    IUP built a 3-0 lead early in the second half and coasted
    to a 4-1 victory over Mansfield in a Pennsylvania State
    Athletic Conference contest Saturday afternoon at Miller
    Stadium.
    
    The win improved IUP's record to 3-6 overall and 2-4 in
    the PSAC while the Mountaineers fell to 1-6 and 1-5 in 
    league play.
    
    The game was scoreless until the 14:32 mark of the first
    half when Chrissy Hill put the Indians in front.  With
    just 2:59 remaining before intermission, Amy Pincock 
    found the cage to give IUP a 2-0 lead at intermission.
    
    The Indians started the second half quickly, tallying
    their third goal of the game just three minutes after
    the break when Amanda O'Brian scored on a pass from
    Becca Geiger.
    
    Mansfield finally got on the scoreboard with 23:00 left
    on a goal by Kristen Campbell, but IUP got that score
    back with 11:29 to go in the game when Pincock added
    her second goal on a penalty corner, assisted by Wendy
    Strohl and Becky Frank.
    
    Jamie Parell went the distance in goal for IUP and faced
    only five shots, making four saves.  In goal for the 
    Mountaineers was Heather Long, who was peppered with 31
    shots and recorded 23 saves.
    
    IUP is back in action Tuesday with another PSAC game at
    Kutztown beginning at 4:00.
