INDIANA, Pa. – Junior Lexie Palluconi (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport) and senior Kiersten Zerbe each scored a goal to lead the IUP women's soccer team to a 2-1 win over Davis & Elkins in non-conference play at South Campus Field.

With the win the Crimson Hawks improve to 2-1 while the Senators falls to 0-2.

After a scoreless first half, Palluconi tallied her second goal of the season to put the Crimson Hawks up 1-0 in the 50th minute of a feed from junior Brandie Bryant (Essex, Md./Eastern Technical). IUP extended its lead to 2-0 in the 64th minute after Zerbe scored off a corner kick from junior Kristen Baumgartner (Phoenixville, Pa./Spring-Ford).

The Senators nearly cut the lead in half in the 72nd minute as Samantha O'Callaghan's shot was saved by Jessica Printz (Fairfax, Va./WT Woodson). Davis & Elkins scored its lone goal just before time expired thanks to a tally from Ellie Rossiter.

Printz earned the win after making four saves while playing all 90 minutes. The Crimson Hawks outshot the Senators by a 14-6 margin, while limiting Davis & Elkins to just two shots in the second half. Both teams recorded four corner kicks.
