• Erica Tarsi opened the scoring in the ninth minute off a corner pass from Sol Ortiz-Kreiner which she rocketed into the top right corner of the cage for her third goal of the season.
• IUP looked to get even early in the second half, but Baker managed to stop two shots within the first seven minutes of the half to keep her team ahead.
•The scored remained 1-0 until the 49th minute, when Tarsi's initial shot from the right wing was saved but was deflected to Ortiz-Kreiner on the left side who took advantage of a wide open shot to double the Millersville lead to 2-0. 

HEAD COACH SHELLY BEHRENS QUOTES
• "It was nice to get a win and shutout on the road against a tough IUP team. I think we had some good phases to our game today and saw some stuff to work on. Overall we found the cage well and had a strong defensive effort that we can build on moving forward."
• "I thought we competed well on Wednesday and we know PSAC field hockey is an everyday affair. That was a tough game so it was good to come out strong today."
• "Sol and Erica were on task today. I was also impressed with our bench, in particular Georgia Werkiser and Brynne Ehrlacher. Emma Boutcher also gave us a great push off the bench. We had a good team defensive showing today, not quite at the level we want but one we can keep building on."
• "Katie Baker had a good showing today and it was great for her to get the shutout. Those in front of her also deserve credit."
