GLENVILLE, W.Va. – The IUP women's soccer team rebounded from Saturday's disappointing defeat to Bloomsburg with an emphatic 7-0 victory over Glenville State on Monday afternoon.
 
The seven-goal win is largest margin of victory in the past eight years for the Crimson Hawks (2-1, 1-1 PSAC). Freshman Nikki Bowman led the way for the Crimson Hawks with two goals in the game. Mahogany Willis, Gianna Parlavecchio, Mckenna Keffel, Gabrielle DeSousa, and Kelly Kingerski also contributed to the win with a goal each. Senior Kallie Conte was the main provider for the Crimson Hawks with three assists on the day. 

On the defensive end goalkeeper Maria Tunney picked up her first shut out of the season as the IUP defense limited the Pioneers to only three shots on goal in the game.

IUP got off to a fast start against the Glenville State notching seven shots  in the first ten minutes of the match before finally making the breakthrough in the 16^th minute thanks to Mahogany Willis's strike. Goals by Gianna Parlavecchio and McKenna Keffel in the 20^th and 30^th minutes ensured that the Crimson Hawks went into the halftime break with a comfortable lead.
 
A rapid-fire succession of three goals in less than three minutes at the beginning of the second half quickly put the result of the match out of doubt. Bowman's brace of goals in the 48^th and 51^st minutes sandwiched Junior Gabrielle DeSousa's first goal of the season in the 49^th minute. Kelly Kingerski rounded out the scoring for IUP in the 67^th minute with the first goal of her career.
