    IUP Suffers Third Straight Loss
    in Defeat at East Stroudsburg



    
    Kate Melcer scored the lone goal of the game in the second overtime period 
    to lift host East Stroudsburg to a 1-0 victory over IUP in a Pennsylvania 
    State Athletic Conference women's soccer contest Sunday afternoon.
    
    The loss was the third in a row for IUP, all by scores of 1-0, and drops 
    the Indians to 3-3 overall and 0-3 in PSAC play.  East Stroudsburg won for 
    the first time this season and improved to 1-6-1 and 1-0-1 in the conference.
    
    Melcer got a header past IUP goalkeeper Sarah Daw with 1:33 expired in the 
    second overtime to give the Warriors the victory.  Charlene Conklin was 
    credited with the assist.  Prior to allowing the game winning tally, Daw 
    had stopped 17 East Stroudsburg shots.
    
    Lindsey Vandergrift recorded the shutout for the Warriors, making 11 saves 
    along the way.  IUP had 18 shots on goal but could not find the net.
    
    IUP is back in action on Tuesday for a 4:00 contest at Mercyhurst.
