Final Stats

IUP scored two goals less than three minutes apart to take a second half lead, but Mansfield tied it up midway through the period and then won it in the second overtime by a score of 3-2 Tuesday afternoon.

The game was the PSAC West opener for both teams and left the Crimson Hawks 1-3 overall while the Mountaineers improved to 2-4.

IUP trailed 1-0 at halftime after a penalty stroke goal by Jillian Richards but evened the score when freshman Jillian Duld (Allentown/Parkland) tallied her first career goal at the 44:52 mark of the second half. Just 2:23 later, Anouk Sickman (Antwerp, Belgium/Lazac Cellepe) scored for the second time this season to give the Crimson Hawks the lead.

IUP kept the pressure on, outshooting Mansfield 12-6 over the second 35 minutes but could not expand its lead as Mountaineer goalie Jamie Twist made nine saves in the second half. Kristy Tutorow then emerged from a scrum in front of the cage to score the tying goal with 15:38 remaining.

It stayed tied during the first overtime period as Crimson Hawk goalie Lydia Dolly (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield) stopped three shots. In the second extra session, however, Tutorow tipped in a shot by Kylie Davis for her second goal of the game to hand IUP the disappointing loss.

Dolly had a total of 10 saves for IUP while Twist stopped 11 shots for Mansfield. The Crimson Hawks held a 20-16 advantage in shots, but Mansfield held the edge in penalty corners, 16-10. Duld led IUP with six shots, and Sickman and Shannon Sullivan (Pittsburgh/North Allegheny) both had five.

IUP finishes a three-game road stretch Saturday at Millersville beginning at 6 p.m. The Crimson Hawks return home a week from Wednesday for a 4 p.m. PSAC West game vs. Shippensburg.
