LAST TIME OUT
The Crimson Hawks hosted their first home meet last week, easily sweeping shorthanded Wheeling squads last Saturday. The women won 168-9 while the men won 151-13. Both IUP squads are now 2-0 on the year. 

The meet marked the IUP Athletic Department's first home event since women's lacrosse played on March 12, 2020.
