IUP got hat tricks from three different players and routed Bellarmine 13-0 in a non-conference field hockey contest Sunday at Miller Stadium, the final regular season home game for the Crimson Hawks. IUP, ranked No. 1 in the STX/National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll, remained undefeated in 13 games this season going into its final two games at Mercyhurst and Mansfield the next two Saturdays. Bellarmine dropped to 5-10 on the year. Brittany Owens led the offensive onslaught for IUP, recording four goals and four assists. Sylvia Guerrieri and Jess Frantz both scored three goals while Irma Bakker, Katie Schwartz and Emebet van Slobbe also found the cage for the Crimson Hawks. Frantz and Guerrieri both added a pair of assists and were joined in that category by van Slobbe, Marissa Soto and Lieke de Ridder. IUP outshot Bellarmine 36-2 and took 14 penalty corners to only one for the Knights. Lydia Dolly stopped both Bellarmine shots while a trio of Knight goalkeepers combined for 23 saves. |
