SGA hosts debate for state representative candidates
By Lauren Rosse
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s
Student Government Association held a
candidate debate for the 62nd Pennsylvania House of Representatives District
in Eberly Auditorium Wednesday.
The two candidates, Dave Reed, RPenn., and Kevin Freeberg, D-Penn., responded to questions asked by IUP students. The students asking the questions
represented the College Democrats, the
College Republicans and the SGA.
At the start of the debate, each candidate had a three-minute introduction.
Freeberg talked about his experience
with IUP: Not only did Freeberg attend
IUP, but the majority of his family did
as well. Freeberg decided to run for the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives
because of cost cuts made to the school
system of Pennsylvania.
Next, Reed, the current incumbent,
gave his introduction. In the debate,
Reed said he would like to talk more
about policy than politics. Reed went
on to say that there should be less focus
on the far right and left wing and more
on the issues. He then talked about all
that has been accomplished already in
his time as representative.
Nine questions were asked total.
• “What’s the most important thing
for the government to do for college student today?”
Reed was first to reply, saying that to
help college students, it is important to
provide an outside environment where
News
it is possible to get a job after graduation.
Freeberg responded by saying that
Pennsylvania has the third highest university costs and the lowest funding in
the country.
He said he feels that restoring the
funding of higher education is a priority.
He hopes that by restoring the funds
to universities, the costs of attending
school for four years would be lowered,
thus creating less debt.
Reed responded to Freeberg’s answer
by saying that it’s all too easy for candidates to say they want to spend more
on education during an election but the
money comes from taxpayers.
Because the money comes from the
people, a responsible conversation needs
to be held about how the money is being spent. Freeberg responded to Reed’s
rebuttal by pointing out that there is
money available to spend on higher education. Freeberg proposed that Pennsylvania put a severance tax on the gas
produced in the state.
The money made in the tax could go
to education.
• “There has been talk that schools in
the Pennsylvania State System of Higher
Education are starting to buy back their
land and become privatized: If this were
to take place, what do you think would
happen to the PASSHE system, and
how will it affect the students attending
state schools?”
Freeberg responded by saying that
the PASSHE schools should be low-cost
for students in Pennsylvania, but they
have the third highest costing tuition of
state schools nationwide.
He feels that Pennsylvania should
adopt policies similar to other states,
such as the policy that if a student graduates high school with a high enough
GPA, the student can attend college
for free if they keep up a certain GPA
in college.
Reed responded, saying that even
if those students don’t pay for school,
somebody still has to.
He then went on to say that schools
such as West Chester University have
talked about becoming privatized.
However, he feels the PASSHE
schools are best together. Freeberg responded to Reed’s point by saying that
he would also be against privatizing
schools in the PASSHE school system.
• “How should the legislators respond to the conversation regarding universal gun control laws in the
PASSHE system, and how do you feel
the environment will change if a change
is made?”
Reed said that the decision should
not be up to the state but the schools
themselves because of the 14 unique
communities each of the universities are
located in.
Freeberg responded by saying that
while he believes in the Second Amendment, he agrees that it is up to the
schools to decide.

Indiana Community Music School receives
funding from two organizations
By stephanie bachman
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Indiana Community Music
School, a new program in its second
year, recently received funds from the
Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance and
the Indiana Rotary Club.
It is led by Jeff Wacker, who is also
the coordinator of arts-in-education services for the Lively Arts.
The program is only in its second
year at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and it already has about 125 members for the fall semester.
Wacker described the main goal of
the new program.
“It exists to provide music instruction to anybody that who would like it,”
Wacker said.
“That could be community members, beginning little kids, adults in the
community or IUP students who are
non-music majors but just want to learn
how to play an instrument.”
Because the music school is part of
IUP’s community outreach programs, it
is available to local residents as well as
faculty and students.
All lessons and ensembles take place
in Cogswell Hall.
The program serves people of all ages
– from newborn to retirement – due to
its wide variety of options available.
In addition to learning to play an
instrument, anyone can join a choir or
ensemble, hone their skills in advanced
lessons or sign their kids up for musikgarten.
Musikgarten is for parents and their
young child, and it is designed to foster
beginning music in newborns through
five-year-olds.
In a time when funding is being cut
across the board, with art and music
programs being hit the hardest, it is
difficult to find funding for programs
such as the Indiana Community Music
School – especially for new programs.
That is why the program was excited
to receive $2,138 from the Pennsylvania
Rural Arts Alliance and $1,500 from the
Rotary Club of Indiana.
The Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance
is a subgroup of the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts, which offers grants to
programs across the state for arts-related
projects.
In the case of the Indiana Community Music School, the money is designated to help the fledging program with
marketing, advertising, printing and
other related costs.
This will be essential for the program
in order to help it grow and become
even better.
On the other hand, the Indiana Rotary Club of Indiana is a more local organization. It gave some funding to the
Indiana Community Music School for
music purchase.
This could be sheet music, pieces
for the choirs to sing, or something else
music-related.
What is so beneficial about this is
that, although the program has access
to the music library in Cogswell, it allows them to purchase music that is not
available.
The Penn is hiring!
These grants go a long way in helping fund a program that is facing a lot
of startup costs while also trying to keep
program fees at a reasonable price.
The grants can always be applied
for again, but right now the program is
looking for longer-lasting solutions for
funding.
Wacker described the need for this
and his hopes for the future of the program.
“We are always looking for corporations, businesses, anybody who would
like to sponsor the community music
school,” Wacker said.
“We exist for the community, so we
think that would be a great partnership.”
One example of a business already
sponsoring the program is Aramark.
Classes are priced between $24 to
$50 an hour for a lesson. Prices vary depending on whether the instructor is a
music major or a professor.
The different levels of instruction are
teaching apprentices, teaching artists
and music faculty members.
Because these different options exist, those interested in lessons can pick
which choice is best for their price range
and teaching preferences.
The program is always accepting
new applicants and has auditions for
the choirs and ensembles on a semester
basis.
For more information on the different programs offered in the Indiana
Community Music School and registering for classes, information is available
on iup.edu/communitymusic.

Last Femenist Friday of
semester held
By Margaret Burris
Contributing Writer
[email protected]
A diverse group of students, the
Feminist Fridays group gathers one Friday per month to discuss gender equality as well as relate to others and share
experiences.
Unlike many groups, this one does
not have a set agenda at the beginning
of the meeting; the format is discussion
style, which leads to open-ended questions and conversations.
Every month, a thought-provoking
discussion follows a prompt, and October’s prompt regarded the portrayal of
women through Halloween costumes.
Many women’s Halloween costumes
are described as being “sexy,” which is a
point of discussion.
As the discussion progressed, it became clear that these “sexy” costumes
were not the problem: The real problem
is that there are so many of them and
that wearing a “sexy” costume is put on
a pedestal above wearing more conservative costumes.
The general consensus of the group
was that every woman has a choice
as to how she wants to dress, and she
should not feel pressured into wearing
a skimpier costume because it is what
is portrayed as being the “right” choice.
The Feminist Fridays group is largely
successful after being an official club for
only two years. Though in its infancy, it
has many dedicated members that have
returned for the second year, many with
positive things to say about the club.
“I am knowledgeable about feminism, and I like to learn what others
think of feminism,” Ciera Marble (senior, nutrition) said. “I also look forward to see others striving toward goals,
and I enjoy helping them understand
feminism better.”
These meetings encourage interaction among students as they sit in a
semicircle discussing issues not only
important on IUP’s campus, but also in
the United States and around the world.
The leader of Feminist Fridays is Alisia Drew, the assistant director of health
awareness and women’s programs at
IUP.

Tattoo shop celebrates Halloween
By Mary Romeo
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Sacred Ink Tattoo brought a different type of entertainment to Indiana
Saturday evening at their Halloween
Extravaganza.
The free event was open to anyone
18 years or older and started at 6 p.m.
Anyone 21 and over was permitted to
bring alcohol.
Internationally known professional
Burlesque artist, Marlo Marquise, performed a body suspension show on flesh
hooks.
The event was not your typical runof-the-mill Halloween party.
Students had differing takes on the
performance.
“It was a definitely something I was
not used to,” Christian Clausner (sophomore, sociology) said.
“It was very interesting, but there’s
certainly a scene in Indiana that this fits
into.”
Josh Loftus (junior, communications
media) said it was interesting to see the
artistry performed live.
“I’ve never seen anything like that
live,” Loftus said. “I thought it was really artistic and cool to be able to see
something so obscure.”
The act of suspension is hanging
a person from hooks pierced through
flesh in various parts of the body, but
typically from their upper back section,
according to suspension.org
“Body suspension isn’t something In-
diana has seen before,” said Ken Steele,
a tattoo artist at Sacred Ink and member of the planning committee for the
event.
Steele even participated in the performance as well, as he was suspended
in the beginning of the evening.
“I didn’t really think it hurt that
bad,” Steele said. “It was just a quick
pinch and some pressure on your shoulders.”
Anyone that was there could be suspended for a fee of about $150.
Along with the live suspension performance, the event also featured autograph signing by an original cast member from “Dawn of the Dead” and food
provided by Pita Pit.
Audience members were encouraged to dress up, as there was a costume
contest with prizes for first, second and
third place.
Indiana-based band, the Black Ridge,
and Pittsburgh-based band, The Daily
Grind, also performed at the event.
Steele said that they received support and help from members of the
community for the event. He also said
that a journalism student, Juliette Rapp,
helped him promote and find the bands
for the event.
“The community has actually really
helped us out a lot, as we try to help
them out, too,” Steele said.
This was the event’s third year, and
Steele plans on hosting a Halloween
extravaganza in the following years to
come with equally wild entertainment
for the town to see.

IUP holds Day of the Dead festivities
By Casey Kelly
Staff Writer
[email protected]
At Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s second Day of the Dead Festival
Saturday, hosted by the Tlaculio Honor
Society, attendees celebrated the lives of
deceased loved ones with altar exhibits,
music and authentic Mexican food.
Campus organizations and individuals were asked to create altar exhibits to
commemorate people in their lives who
have passed away. Voting was divided
into two categories: group exhibits and
individual exhibits.
The Upward Bound Math and Science program won the best group altar,
and Nancy Lopez won the best individual altar. Lopez’s altar was built in honor
of her grandmother, and UBMS’s altar
had an education theme.
Jacque Benhart, UBMS academic
counselor, said the altar competition
was a great way to get UBMS students
involved in the IUP community and
show off their creativity.
“We have amazing scholars preparing for college,” Benhart said, “and this
was a fun, social aspect to introduce
them to. IUP is full of opportunities for
each and every student.”
Gift cards, which were donated by
Pizza House, Cozumel, Tres Amigos
and Kim Moon, were given as prizes. A
Giant Eagle gift card was also purchased
as a prize.
Other participating organizations
were Strategies for Ecology Education,
Diversity and Sustainability (SEEDS)
Club, Phi Eta Sigma, Andale, IUP College Democrats, Pride and the Anthropology Club.
Lisa McCann (graduate, sociology)
is the founder and event organizer for
the Day of the Dead Festival at IUP.
“Day of the Dead is the Latin-American
and Latino holiday that was originally
to honor the ancestors,” McCann said.
“They wanted to thank the ancestors for
all the good things that happened, and
they also wanted to remember them.
In addition to the altar exhibits,
IUP’s department of food and nutrition provided three authentic Mexican
food samples: Abuelita, atole and candied squash. The Indiana Community
Garden provided Mexican marigolds
and Six Hand Bakery baked authentic
Mexican bread.
Following the public altars exhibit in
the Ohio Room, a parade through the
Oak Grove, which was organized by the
Anthropology Club, took place from
5-8 p.m.
“We wanted the event to have a very
educational and scholarly component
with the altars exhibit, and then the
fun, festive side with the parade,” McCann said.
McCann said that next year’s Day
of the Dead festivities will involve even
more community outreach than previous celebrations. Planning for the Day
of the Dead Festival in 2015 will begin
early in the spring.
Apple set to
debut watch in
early 2015
By Julia Love

Hoping to give your loved one an
Apple Watch for Christmas? The Chinese New Year? Valentine’s Day?
At this rate, you may have to tuck the
timepiece away in an Easter Egg.
Apple executives have consistently
told consumers to expect the watch in
early 2015 – by which they apparently
mean next spring, tech blog 9to5Mac
reported on Sunday.
Angela Ahrendts, Apple’s senior vice
president of retail and online stores, told
retail employees in an internal video
message to brace themselves for a grueling stretch.
“We’re going into the holidays, we’ll
go into Chinese New Year and then
we’ve got a new watch launch coming in
the spring,” Ahrendts said in the video.
The long-awaited Apple Watch was
unveiled with great fanfare in September, but Apple still appears to be finetuning the timepiece.
Tech experts have singled out battery
life as a key issue for the gadget. While
Apple executives have already conceded
that the watch must be charged nightly,
they are still trying to perfect the battery
system, 9to5 Mac reported.

The final countdown
As piles of homework and last-minute research assignments begin to pile up,
stress starts to take over the minds of college students who have the “mid-semester
blues.”
It is that time of year, when students find themselves purchasing mass amounts
of caffeine and microwave meals for on-the-go nights. The library suddenly goes
from a ghost town to a packed family room full of study groups and quiet hallways.
It can be hard for many to get things done, as the lack of energy and motivation
suddenly hits hard on the minds of students across the nation.
A way to put up a fight with the mid-semester blues is to take small steps to getting this end of semester work done. Set small goals during the week to accomplish
– start with one paper and work up to multiple homework assignments a night.
You can organize your goals with a planner and cross off each assignment when
it is complete.
Being busy is a good thing, but becoming overwhelmed can easily make any
student become defeated and mentally exhausted.
Forming a support group can allow for easy study hours to fly by and also help
information really be learned with acronyms and funny similes.
Don’t allow yourself to become isolated with your work.
The expression “all work, no play,” is not a healthy lifestyle to live.
The best way to relieve stress and to get things done effectively is to allow yourself to have work time and also relaxation time.
Go outside: Binge-watching Netflix is not always the best way to escape the
stress.
As it becomes colder and rainier in Indiana, the days will seem longer and the
mornings will make it seem impossible to remove yourself from your bed.
However, you have to find inspiration in the future.
Think about what will happen if you do really well on your next test or get an
A on that research paper you have been working on for weeks.
Midterms are finally over, so as we push on to the final stretch of this semester,
remember: You can do it. You have made it this far, why not finish strong?
Achieving success is all about attitude.
As Henry Ford once said, “The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks
he can’t are both right.”

A man known as “the hit man” traveled back to once again walk the halls
of Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Friday to tell his story of fulfilling his
greatest dream with music.
John Esposito, president and CEO
of Warner Music Nashville, spoke to the
journalism department Friday, saying
that success in communication and utter determination will carry you miles.
“My passion for music was on such
of an emotional level,” Esposito said. “It
made my heart beat.”
Esposito said that his love for music
sprouted in his early childhood, when
he sang in the choir in his hometown of
Punxsutawney.
Esposito has played in numerous
bands throughout his lifetime, and he
described his college experience as musical as well.
“When I wasn’t writing academically,” he said, “I was doing something
with music.”
He played locally on drums, guitar
and vocals in Indiana at bars in college
and booked coffeehouse shows regularly.
David Truby, emeritus professor at
IUP, taught Esposito during his time at
IUP. Truby became a mentor of Esposi-
to through college and into later years
of his life.
“John did one thing important in his
lifetime that I will forever speak of to
others,” Truby said. “He tried to do a
variety of things in the early part of his
life. He worked in numerous positions
relating to business, marketing, advertising, public relations and journalism.”
Esposito was named a Distinguised
Alumni, joining his father, Jerry Esposito, in 2011 for his outstanding work in
the music field.
After graduating from IUP, Esposito
moved to Pittsburgh and played in a few
bands as a drummer, where he got the
full of experience of being a rock ’n’ roll
band mate. He later moved to Washington, D.C., for a girl whom he later married and had two children with.
In D.C., he worked in a record store
for $4 an hour rather than accepting a
job in the journalism field.
“Life has funny twists and turns,”
Esposito said. “When you see the fork in
the road, take it. You never know when
these opportunities will arise again.”
Mentors in Esposito’s life gave him
numerous opportunities along the
way. A man at the record store in D.C.
took John to a new company called
“Harmony Hunt Records.”

business and how to organize staffing in

a fair manner.
Esposito was quickly given the nickname “the hit man” because of his abiliy
to spot shop lifters – mostly employees
– who would steal the records from the
stores.
Moving up in the ranks, Esposito became a buyer for Macy’s only one year
after accepting the offer as a head hunter, and promoted to Mitsubishi East
Coast sales operations for three times
the pay of Macy’s shortly after.
At Mitsubishi, he found himself
bored of the work. As a hard-working
employee, Esposito decided, “idol
hands do the devils work.”
He needed to follow through with
his once-fantasized dream of working in
the music industry.
Through connections and persistence, Esposito found an in doing retail
work for The Whiz.
During this experience, he was constantly bumping into people in the music industry.
Eventually, this dream of working for
a music label became a reality.
“I think back to those days I could
barely pay for a parking ticket,” Esposito
said, “and now I have found so much
success in something I love.”
Warner Music Nashville has worked
with numerous stars, such as Gloriana,
Jessica Harp, Faith Hill, James Otto,
John Rich, Blake Shelton, Hunter
Hayes and Randy Travis. These stars
were made into glorified artists due to
the work of Esposito and his talented
collaborator, Scott Hendricks, who has
produced more than 60 No. 1 records
so far at Warner Music.
During
Esposito’s
discussion
with the journalism department, he
stressed the importance of passion and
communication relating to working
relationships.
Esposito has given several diverse internships and opportunities to students
at IUP.
Among the few are Dominique Nadik (senior, journalism), who is currently working as a publicity intern of
Warner Music Nashville.
Nadik deals with all things relating
to press releases, artist clippings and
media pitches to TV stations and radio
sections.
Nadik sat in on the speech from
Esposito and understood the hardworking atmosphere that he discussed
with the students.
“There are so many people that go
into making one operation successful at
Warner Music Nashville,” Nadik said.
“Esposito tried to explain to all of the
students today how each employee dedicates their whole focus into their work,
and I understand because I live it everyday. We have to give our all for the artists and the label, but it is all they have.”
Esposito found success in his dreams
because of pure passion for music. He
left hoping students would remember
one thing from his speech.
“Most importantly,” Esposito said,
“when people realize you’re passionate
about something, they want to help you
succeed in it, and they want to be a part
of that journey.”
the same area and attended high school
approximately 1 mile from IUP.
“We met up in high school and
just kind of jammed around a little,
and then we started writing music,”
Bizouski (senior, undeclared health and
human services) said.
The band now has two albums available on Itunes, Spotify and Amazon.
“To The World,” their most recent album, was released in September.
“We always love playing for a good
cause and giving back to the community,” Bizouski said.
Along with the live-music entertainment, the purchased tickets doubled as
raffle tickets with a chance to win prizes.
Many organizations donated to the
Concert for the Cure event.
There were prize baskets for the
Indiana Mall, Regis Hair and Kitchen
Collection,
along
with
gift
cards to The Coney, Steel City,
Dingbats, Pizza House and YFET
Bakery.

“Concert for a Cure,” hosted by Phi
Kappa Phi, was held Thursday in the
Hadley Union Building Ohio Room at
Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
The concept of the concert was to
raise awareness for pancreatic cancer.
Tickets were sold at the door for $2, and
all proceeds went to funding research.
Four vice presidents, one adviser and
one president of Phi Kappa Phi helped
plan and implement the event.
“It’s a nice way to be involved while
staying safe,” student president of the
association, Kulwinder Singh (graduate,
employment labor relations and food
nutrition), said. “It’s just a good alternative for a Thursday night.”
Performing at the concert were local student bands Sheeps in Wolves
Clothing, Coastal Remedy and
William Forrest.

‘An Evening of Story Legends in Music and Dance’ performed Saturday
By RENÉE WILLIAMSON
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Fisher Auditorium encompassed Igor
Stravinsky’s “L’Histoire du Soldat” and
Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring”
Saturday in “An Evening of Story Legends in Music and Dance.”
Family members gathered in Fisher
Auditorium lobby with coats and flowers, waiting to be let into the main hall.
Once everyone had been seated and
the crinkling of programs subsided, the
curtains rose, conductor and co-director
Dr. Jack Stamp lifted his baton and the
soldier, played by Kelli Pate, marched
across the stage, kicking off the first
scene of “L’Histoire du Soldat.”
“L’Histoire du Soldat” is the story
– set in the early 20th century – of a
young soldier who makes a deal with the
devil on his way back from war.
He runs into obstacles as a result of
his bargain and attempts to clean up the
mess he’s made.
In the end, the relationship he made
with the devil always ends up interfering
with his life.
This segment of the production gave
the feeling of a story being told out of a
storybook.
The portrayal of a classic good-versus-evil tale was evident in the playful
representation.
The second story, “Appalachian
Spring,” – set in the 1940s – is the story of a couple’s journey to get married

“An Evening of Story Legends in Music and Dance” was presented by the department of theater and dance and the department of music.
while receiving guidance from elders.
This show was more contemporary
and was set in rural Pennsylvania.
April Daras’s performance as the
mother evoked the true emotion of separating from a loved one as life carries
you in different directions.
With an absence of elaborate set
design and only a few props, the cast,
musicians and technical team were still
able to portray the stories in the night’s
production.
Dancers embodied the neoclassical
style of “L’Histoire du Soldat” as well
as the quirky modern style of “Appalachian Spring.”
The two diverse executions were able
to illustrate the contrasting storylines as
well as the range of Indiana University
of Pennsylvania’s dancers.
A prominent use of light was directed by David Surtasky as he paired
it with the emotion and atmosphere of
the production.
The seven musicians in “L’ Histoire
du Soldat” each played a different instrument, putting the responsibility of
perfection on each and every member.
This was a similar case in
“Appalachian Spring,” with the exception of two violinists appearing.
To get a sense of the work put
into the production, Michelle Worzbyt – wife of Jason Worzbyt, the
bassoonist – spoke of her husband’s involvement in the show.
She said he spent four to six hours
a day rehearsing for the production,
along with working on other projects and being the assistant director of
bands.
A family feel between the cast members was prevalent throughout the
show, as well as at the end when Daras
was surprisingly presented with flow-
ers on stage from Alexandra Jayne, who
played the bride in “Appalachian
Spring.”
Stamp will be conducting another production, Copland’s opera
“The Tender Land,” the last full
week of class in December,
as well as two concerts this spring.
April Daras (professor, theater and dance) and Alexandra Jayne (junior, biology)
portrayed mother and daughter in the “Appalachian Spring” ballet.

IUP tops Clarion with ground-and-pound strategy
Crimson Hawks break losing streak on football field with 31-0 win vs. Golden Eagles
By JOSH HILL
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Crimson Hawks have developed
a particular blueprint for success over
the last number of years under head
coach Curt Cignetti.
It is pretty simple: Run the football,
play hard-nosed defense, and win the
turnover battle.
IUP (6-3)
was able to do
FOOTBALL those things,
and they were
also able to record the first
shutout of the
season, defeating Clarion (27) 31-0 on Saturday.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
set the tone on the second play from
scrimmage when Ackeno Robertson
(sophomore, accounting) intercepted
a pass and returned it 14 yards for a
touchdown.
IUP would not look back.
Chris Temple (freshman, accounting) had 114 yards and a touchdown
on the ground, and the Crimson Hawks
had over 250 yards on the ground as a
team.
Luigi Lista-Brinza (freshman, kinesiology health & sport science) added
71 yards on 19 carries, and Izzy Green
(sophomore, computer science) had 50
yards on 12 carries.
Cignetti was pleased with the effort
his team put forth, particularly in the
running game.
12
“It was good to get back to running
the football and establishing a physical
presence,” he said.
IUP’s defense was just as dominant
as their offensive counterparts, holding
Clarion to minus-8 rushing yards and
sacking quarterback Connor Simmons
three times.
The defensive line was as dominant
as the Crimson Hawks have been up
front all season.
Karon Gibson (junior, hospitality
management), Bryce Gilbert (graduate,
continuing education) and Shane Meisner (senior, criminology) combined for
12 tackles and three sacks of Simmons,
who was forced to leave with a lategame injury.
Linebacker Alexander Berdahl (senior, marketing) was appreciative of the
defensive line and the effort they provided.
“I barely did much,” he said. “Our
D-line did everything.”
On the other side of the ball, IUP
used a dual-quarterback system on offense, playing both Eddie Stockett
(freshman, business) and Chase Haslett
(graduate, sports management).
The two quarterbacks split time, and
they threw a combined 12 passes.
Haslett entered the game having
thrown as many touchdowns as interceptions in eight starts, while Stockett’s
appearance marked his first extended
action of the year.
One of the quarterbacks’ passes was a
30-yard bomb from Stockett, who also
threw an interception against Clarion,
to Walt Pegues (freshman, communica-

tions) as time expired in the first quarter.
It was Stockett’s first pass of the season and also resulted in the last of 24
first-quarter points by the Crimson
Hawks.
“I just try to make a play when my
name is called,” Pegues said.
Pegues is also relied upon heavily on
both kickoff and punt returns, along
with his regular receiving duties.
November 4, 2014
“Walt Pegues is a really outstanding
player and a great person,” Cignetti said
of the talented freshman.
Clarion might reflect on a game full
of missed opportunities.
The Golden Eagles reached IUP’s
red zone on several occasions but was
unable to put any points on the board.
One of Clarion’s field goal attempts was
blocked.
(Nick Dampman/ The Penn)
Clarion head coach Jay Foster credited the Crimson Hawks for making the
necessary plays to win the game.
“It was just one thing after another,
and that’s a credit to them,” he said.
“When we had our chances, we didn’t
execute.”
IUP will hit the road for their next
game against Gannon University. Kickoff is set for noon Saturday.

IUP earns 7th seed in PSAC playoffs
Women’s soccer kicks off postseason against West Chester
By CASSIE PUTT
Staff Writer
[email protected]
As the regular fall season came to
a close Saturday, the Crimson Hawks
earned the seventh seed in the Pennsylvania State Athletics Conference standing, earning the team a berth in the
postseason.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
lost to Gannon University
Tuesday with
a final score of
7-1 and tied
Mercyhurst
University 1-1
Saturday.
In the 34th
minute of play
against Gannon, Taylor Vladic (senior,
criminology) scored the lone goal for
the Hawks.
A series of passes between Brittney
Kuhns (senior, exercise science) and Riley Bartoo (freshman, nutrition) led to
the opening goal of the game.
Regardless of the initial goal, competition against the Golden Knights
proved difficult for IUP. The Crimson
SOCCER
Hawks struggled throughout to gain a
steady lead.
The Knights outshot IUP 25-8,
while 17 of those shots were played in
the latter half of the game.
An explosion of six goals in the second half gave Gannon a huge lead and
ultimately the victory over the Crimson
Hawks.
On Saturday, the women’s soccer
team ended its 9-6-3 regular season in
a double-overtime game against Mercyhurst.
The scoreboard showed no goals for
either team as the whistle blew for halftime.
Twelve minutes into the second half,
Kuhns dribbled downfield and blasted a
shot to the back of the net for her ninth
goal of the season and the opening goal
of the match.
“I was really focused on the goal because I knew we needed a win or tie to
move on to playoffs,” Kuhns said. “We
worked as a team and pulled through
and got a tie.”
Unfortunately, it was a short-lived
lead for IUP, as the Lakers tallied a mark
on the board several minutes later, tying
the game at 1-1.

ton Hill to add
another tally to
their wins this
season. Unfortunately, IUP
was not able
to win another
set that night. The Crimson Hawks
dropped sets two, three and four with
scores of 25-13, 25-14 and 25-17.
Lily McWilliams (sophomore, nutrition and dietetics), Elizabeth Sova (se-
nior, hospitality management), Lauren
Hester (redshirt junior, speech-language
pathology and audiology) and Alexis
Anderson (freshman, marketing) contributed six kills each and a combined
eight blocks.
Lindsay Moeller (sophomore, early
childhood and special education) had
16 assists, and Katie Miller (freshman,
anthropology) had 11 assists. Moeller
also was tied with Hester for a matchhigh nine digs.
The team took to the road to compete against California University of
Pennsylvania on Saturday, Oct. 25.
The Crimson Hawks fought until
the end but lost to the Vulcans 3-0. The
set scores were 25-14, 25-17 and 25-20.

The Hawks outshot Mercyhurst 10-7
with attempts recorded from Victoria
Crawford (freshman, psychology), Lexi
Palluconi (freshman, health and human
services) and Alyanna James (senior, biology pre-med).
“I feel like we could have won the
game because we had a lot of shot opportunities,” Crawford said. “But I am
satisfied with the tie because it still got
us into the playoffs.”
Competition rolled into two overtimes where neither team recorded any
shots, proving the strength of both defenses.
The final game earned the Crimson
Hawks the seventh seed in the PSAC
standing.
IUP will gear up against West Chester University for the first playoff game
in the PSAC postseason Tuesday.
“I’m looking forward to making it as
far as we can,” Crawford said. “That is
our ultimate goal in winning the PSAC
title coming in as underdogs.”
Other teams who earned playoff
contention at the end of the regular season are East Stroudsburg, West Chester,
Kutztown, California, Slippery Rock
and Edinboro, respectively.

Men’s basketball shows
fight in exhibition vs. Pitt
Crimson Hawks fall to Panthers, 72-58
By VAUGHN DALZELL

Hustle, heart and chemistry were on
display at the Peterson Events Center
Friday night in Pittsburgh.
The scoreboard was not a determining factor in showing how well
the Crimson
Hawks played
against a toptier Division I
school.
In a 72-58
loss, Indiana
University of
Pe n n s y l va n i a
not only shot
better than the Pittsburgh Panthers, but
showed more focus and fight.
Devante Chance (senior, communications media) and Jeremy Jeffers (senior, communications media) continually made plays to keep the Crimson
Hawks in the game, rather than it being
off a shot or dribble penetration and
kick-out pass for a easy bucket.
Chance seemed to play his best basketball off of screens, netting half of his
assists off of them and finding the open
man every time.
IUP also appeared unselfish in the
game, striving to pass the ball around to
various players.
Chance and Shawn Dyer (graduate
student, criminology) led the team with
six assists each, but at times, the team
struggled with turnovers, totaling 16.
Pitt only had 10.
“The chemistry is good,” Chance
said. “There is great room to improve,
but for only playing with each other for
the short amount of time, I think it is
very good.”
In his press conference Thursday,
head coach Joe Lombardi noted that
the team’s bench is much deeper than
last year’s with a relief rotation of nine
players.
Three bench players eclipsed 13
minutes or more of playing time in the
game.
Chance and Dyer saw a significant
amount of playing time, combining for
74 minutes.
Fouls were also an issue with the
team as Daddy Ugbede (junior, com-
munications media) fouled out with a
little over nine minutes left in the game.
Overall, he played well in his first action with the Crimson Hawks.
Ugbede was aggressive rebounding
the ball, giving Lombardi confidence
that the Drake transfer amd Devon
Cottrel (redshirt junior, communications media) can control the front court
for IUP.
One thing Lombardi called too late
in the second half was a zone defensive
scheme.
And when that happened, the team
seemed to struggle rebounding, only
having two offensive rebounds in the
second half against a larger, more physical Pitt team.
It remains to be seen whether or not
the Crimson Hawks will stick to their
zone defense against bigger teams and
how well the team’s chemistry can evolve
– both offensively and defensively.
The three ball was hitting for almost
all, with Jeffers hitting multiple three
balls on back-to-back possessions in the
first half.
As a team, IUP converted 36 percent
of its shots against Pitt’s 32.
One player Lombardi said he has
high hopes for is Stefan Osborne (redshirt freshmen, sociology).
“[Osborne] has elite range and can
be an elite shooter off the bench for us,”
Lombardi said.
Osborne did not get much going offensively, but a player that did was Tevin
Hanner (junior, sociology), who had the
highlight of the game with a set alleyoop from Chance in the second half.
The dunk ignited the Crimson
Hawks, who went on to score on three
consecutive possessions.
If Chance and Jeffers can be consistent and the Crimson Hawks display the
type of performance they had against a
larger team like Pitt, IUP will have the
opportunity to prove its worth as the
preseason No. 9-ranked team in the nation.
The Crimson Hawks travel to Tampa
on Nov. 11 to take on the South Florida
Bulls in their second and final exhibition game.
For IUP, the regular season begins
on Nov. 14 at Memorial Field House
against Urbana.
