Sylvia Guerrieri and Liz Martini scored goals less than three minutes apart early in the game, and the IUP defense made the lead stand up in a 2-0 win over East Stroudsburg on Saturday at Miller Stadium.

The win was the fourth in a row for the Crimson Hawks, who improved to 10-2 overall and 7-1 in the PSAC.  The Warriors dropped to 4-7 and 2-6 in the conference.

IUP has won eight of its 10 games by shutout, and its defense limited East Stroudsburg to only one shot in the entire game.  The Crimson Hawks took 11 shots and also held a 7-2 edge in penalty strokes.

Guerrieri got IUP on the board with 5:53 gone in the first half when she scored her second goal of the season.  Just 2:27 later, Liz Martini tallied her team-leading 11th goal, and the Crimson Hawks were never threatened.

Brittany Owens assisted on both IUP goals.  Lydia Dolly was not forced to make a save in goal for the Crimson Hawks while Carolyn Kisling stopped two shots for East Stroudsburg.  With her eight shutouts, Dolly has a goals against average of 0.42.

IUP concludes its four-game homestand on Wednesday when Mansfield visits Miller Stadium for a 4 p.m. contest.
