INDIANA, Pa. – Four different players were in the scoring column as the Crimson Hawks cruised to an easy 4-1 win over visiting Edinboro in conference women's soccer action on Friday afternoon at South Campus Field.
 
Freshman goalie Makenzie Witzel (Douglassville, Pa./Daniel Boone) stopped four shots and gave up just one score in the fast-paced match, as IUP improved to 8-4 overall and 7-4 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC).
 
The Crimson Hawks scored a pair of goals in each half, with Gianna Parlavecchio (Florham Park, N.J./Hanover Park) getting IUP on the board in the second minute after a long outlet pass from Witzel. It was Parlavecchio's third goal of the year.
 
Kallie Conte (Pittsburgh, Pa./Moon Area) made it a 2-0 match with another breakaway goal in the 37th minute, beating the Edinboro goalie between the legs for her second score of the year.
 
In the 51st, Hannah Stoof (Pittsburgh, Pa./North Allegheny) made an unbelievable free kick from midfield, lofting it over Boro's keeper to extend the lead to 3-0.
 
The Fighting Scots (4-5-3, 3-5-3 PSAC) scored their goal a few minutes later, but the Crimson Hawks extended their lead back to three when Lexie Palluconi (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport) threaded the back of the net in the top right corner for her fourth goal of the fall.

The Crimson Hawks pushed themselves into seventh place in the PSAC standings with 21 points, one ahead of Bloomsburg (20) and one shy of sixth place Seton Hill (22).
