INDIANA, Pa. -- The Mercyhurst football team will visit third-ranked Indiana (Pa.) on Saturday for a 4 p.m. PSAC West kickoff. The Lakers are coming off their first win of the season -- a 14-10 decision over Bloomsburg.

Quarterback Doug Altavilla threw for one touchdown and ran in the game-winner during MU's win over Bloomsburg last week. Altavilla completed 17 of 28 passes for 146 yards and the one score. Running back Garrett Owens was a key cog in the offense, gaining 99 yards on offense. Owens had 15 carries for 87 yards and five receptions for 12.

The Laker defense recorded eight tackles-for-loss. Defensive backs Dante Rodriguez and Henry Caldwell and linebackers Rocky Owens and Chris Peluso were credited with seven total tackles apiece. Defensive back Jake Tarasovitch finished with six tackles, including one sack.

IUP has wins over then-15th-ranked Ashland (21-17), Millersville (41-7) and Lock Haven (59-17). The Crimson Hawks have won each of the last seven meetings between themselves and the Lakers. Mercyhurst's last victory against IUP was a 28-27 victory in 2010.
