    IUP Extends Winning Streak by
    Routing Daemen in Home Opener



    
    IUP improved its record to 3-0 after running past Daemen 9-0 Saturday afternoon in 
    its first home game of the 2002 campaign.
    
    IUP jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first half.  Freshman Laurie Nebiker scored two 
    goals for the Indians, and Tia Kipp tallied one goal and handed out two assists.  
    The other two IUP goals before intermission came from Lisa Castelli and Ashley 
    Gast. 
    
    The second half brought more IUP scoring.  Shelley Dicken scored twice for the 
    Indians in the final 45 minutes, with Kipp and Susie Giovengo also tallying second 
    half goals for IUP.
    
    Nebiker and Meghan Jones also had assists for IUP, which held a decisive 27-1 edge 
    in shots on goal.  Francine Carson made 11 saves in goal for Daemen while Sarah 
    Daw and Jill Yacubouich combined for the shutout for the Indians. 
    
    IUP is back in action next Saturday at home against Kutztown in the first PSAC game 
    of the season.  That game gets under way at noon.
