Liz Martini broke a scoreless tie with a goal off a penalty corner with just 1:24 remaining in the game, giving IUP a 1-0 victory over Mansfield in a PSAC field hockey contest on Saturday.

The Crimson Hawks (5-1, 2-0 PSAC) have won four in a row, with each coming by shutout.  Martini’s goal was her third of the season and came off an assist by Brittany Owens.

IUP held a narrow 10-8 advantage in shots and a 9-8 edge in penalty corners.  Lydia Dolly (right) made four saves for the Crimson Hawks, and Brianna DeLuca stopped seven shots for the Mounties, who suffered their first loss and dropped to 4-1 and 1-1 in the PSAC.

IUP will host defending national champion Bloomsburg on Tuesday at Miller Stadium beginning at 4 p.m.  The Huskies defeated the Crimson Hawks in the NCAA national semifinals last November.
