History <\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

INDIANA, Pa. \u2013 The IUP women’s soccer team used a pair of first-half goals and a six-save performance from senior goalkeeper Kiley Hassinger<\/a> to secure a 2-1 Senior Day victory over Edinboro on Saturday at South Campus Field.<\/p>\n

The Crimson Hawks improved to 6-4-4 overall and 6-4-3 in PSAC play with the victory, picking up three important points in the PSAC West standings.<\/p>\n

Freshman Avery Clanton<\/a> opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, finding the back of the net for the first time in her collegiate career. Senior Paige Fausey<\/a> provided the assist to give IUP the early advantage.<\/p>\n

IUP doubled its lead just before halftime. Ayla Cook<\/a> scored her second goal of the season in the 43rd minute, with Fausey once again providing the assist. The two assists marked a multi-point performance for the senior defender as the Crimson Hawks carried a 2-0 advantage into the break.<\/p>\n

Edinboro increased the pressure in the second half, putting six shots on goal over the final 45 minutes. Hassinger turned away five of those attempts to protect the IUP advantage.<\/p>\n

The Fighting Scots eventually broke through in the 85th minute when Claire Cacurak scored to cut IUP’s advantage to 2-1, but the Crimson Hawks held on over the final minutes to secure the victory.<\/p>\n

IUP finished with a 13-11 advantage in total shots, while Edinboro held a 7-5 edge in shots on goal. Both teams generated three corner kicks. Clanton paced the Crimson Hawks with four shots, while Zoe Ans-Bitchoka<\/a> recorded three and Fausey and Cook added two apiece.<\/p>\n

Hassinger played all 90 minutes in goal, making six saves to earn the victory.<\/p>\n

The win avenged IUP’s 1-0 loss at Edinboro earlier this season and gave the Crimson Hawks their sixth conference victory of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Story Links Next Game: at Lock Haven University 10\/21\/2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":308955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-308954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=308954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/308955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=308954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=308954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=308954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
