IUP sophomore goalkeeper Lydia Dolly has been named the PSAC Player of the Week after her performance in a 2-1 win over Bloomsburg on Saturday that vaulted the Crimson Hawks to the top of the conference standings. Dolly had 13 saves in the victory over the top-ranked Huskies, including 12 in the first half when she allowed only one goal despite facing 19 shots over the opening 35 minutes. IUP then rallied for two goals in the closing 7:17 to defeat Bloomsburg and take over first place in the PSAC. The Huskies average better than six goals per game but scored only two in a pair of losses to the Crimson Hawks this season. Earlier in the week, Dolly also had two saves in a 2-0 win over Mansfield on Wednesday, posting her ninth shutout of the season. Through the first 14 games of the season, Dolly has allowed a total of only six goals while playing all 1,000 minutes. Her goals against average of 0.42 and save percentage of .889 are the best in the PSAC. IUP has won six in a row heading into Tuesday's game at Kutztown and is 12-2 overall and 9-1 in the PSAC. The Crimson Hawks will be looking to avenge a 1-0 loss to the Golden Bears at home on September 15. |
