IUP Falls at Mercyhurst
in Non-Conference Action

IUP snapped a three-game shutout streak but still fell short, dropping a 2-1 
decision at Mercyhurst in a non-conference contest Tuesday afternoon.

The Indians lost their fourth in a row and fell to 3-4 on the year.  The Lakers 
improved to 6-2.  IUP had lost the first three games of its current skid by 
scores of 1-0.

Freshman Shelley Queiser got IUP off to a fast start when she scored her first 
career goal off an assist by Nicki Weyant just 1:04 into the contest.  The 
Indians held the advantage until the closing seconds of the first half when 
Mercyhurst tied the game on an unassisted goal by Julia Kowzan just 37 seconds 
before intermission.

The game stayed even until there was just 1:24 remaining in regulation when 
Jessica Morgan scored the winning goal, assisted by Rosie Brackman.

Sarah Daw made 11 saves in goal for IUP while Mercyhurst netminder Dayna 
Shelkey stopped four Indian shots.  The Lakers held a decided 24-11 advantage 
in shots, including a 14-4 edge after halftime.

IUP is off until next Tuesday when California visits for a Pennsylvania State 
Athletic Conference contest.  Kickoff for that game is 4:00.
