INDIANA, Pa. - Shelby Harnish scored the game-winning goal in the third quarter to lift IUP field hockey to a 1-0 win over visiting Bloomsburg Saturday afternoon at Miller Stadium. 

The goal came 7:37 into the third quarter and was assisted by Georgiana Chiavacci, the PSAC's leader in helpers with seven. The goal was Harnish's fifth of the year and third in the last four games. 

The score was indicative of the defensive struggle for both squads as they combined for 11 total shots on the afternoon. Goalie Amanda Zaner had two saves and posted her second shutout of the year. 

The win was the third in the last four games for the Crimson Hawks as they improved to 8-2 overall and 3-2 in conference play. IUP also moved into fifth place in the league with that win. Bloomsburg fell to 7-5 and 1-3. 

The Crimson Hawks also stayed hot at home, improving to 6-0 at Miller Stadium this year.
