FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Schawillie's OT Goal Lifts Mansfield to 2-1 Win Over IUP in PSAC Field Hockey

INDIANA, PA – Senior Taryn Schawillie scored the winning goal four minutes into overtime to lift Mansfield to a key 2-1 win over IUP in PSAC field hockey Wednesday afternoon.

Schawillie, the Mountaineers all-time leading goal scorer, took a deflected ball off the stick of teammate Jessie Swingle and put it above the goalkeeper's reach high in the net to break a 1-1 stalemate. It was the senior's PSAC leading eighth goal of the season.

The teams battled to a scoreless first half before Mansfield took a 1-0 advantage on a goal by junior Kayla Grunza just over 11 minutes into the second half.

IUP tied the game in the 60th minute when Melanie Simmons scored on an assist from Brielle Mackey set up by a penalty corner.

Outstanding play by Mansfield senior goalkeeper Kristie Rollman kept the game knotted at 1-1 at the end of regulation. Rollman stopped 15 shots on the afternoon including a pair of point-blank stops in the final five minutes or regulation.

IUP had 16 shots on goal to Mansfield's five and held a 14-6 advantage in penalty corners. Rollman was exceptional in the first half stopping 11 shots while Mansfield failed to get shot on goal in the first 35 minutes.

The win snaps a five game losing-skid against IUP. Mansfield last beat the Crimson Hawks in their first meeting of the 2010 season 3-2 in double overtime at home.

The victory was the first win at IUP since the Mountaineers recorded a 2-0 shutout at Miller Stadium in 1995.

Mansfield improves to 3-2 overall. The Mountaineers travel to Bloomsburg on Saturday.
