Falce Ties IUP Single Season Goal Record in Win over Gannon

Erin Falce tied the IUP single season record for goals and broke the mark for points in one year, scoring two times in a 2-0 non-conference win over Gannon Sunday afternoon.

IUP has won five in a row and improved to 9-1 on the season while Gannon is now 4-5.

Falce already has 19 goals and 45 points in just 10 games this season.  Amy Peterson had 19 goals and 43 points in 1994, the first year of the IUP women’s soccer program.  Falce also pushed her career goal total to 33 in only 1 ½ seasons, trailing Peterson by just nine in that category.

Falce put IUP in front of the host Golden Knights with 11:28 expired in the first half off an assist by Cora Roeder.  The score stayed at 1-0 until the Indians added an insurance goal when Falce took a pass from Emily Thomas and chipped a shot past Tiffani Parks with 29:32 left in the game.

Sarah Daw played the first 72 minutes in goal for IUP and made three saves.  Becky Dillard registered one save in 18 minutes.  Parks finished with five saves for Gannon, which held a 14-12 advantage in shots.

IUP returns to Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West play on Tuesday when the Indians host California in a 4:00 contest.
