TT D7 Sunday. October 22, 1989 The Pittsburgh Press FOOTBALL IUP has right stuff off California, 17-14 By Chris Bates For The Pittsburgh Press CALIFORNIA Great football teams find ways to win games. Time will tell whether IUP is a great team, but it showed it has the stuff in a come-from-behind 17-14 victory against California in a Pennsylvania Conference game yesterday. The victory improved IUP's record to 6-1 overall, 4-1 in the conference. California is 3-4, 2-2.

The game was filled with a multitude of mistakes and penalties. There also were several players on each team who had big days. IUP's Bill Fegley, a transfer from Pitt, ran for a game-high 113 yards on 21 carries and teammate Doug Adam-rovich also eclipsed the 100-yard mark, picking up 105 on 24 attempts. For California, the big numbers came through the air as junior the firsi play of the series gave the ball back to the Indians both times. Rich Stevenson's second interception of the day (and IUP's fourth of the game) and Sean McCaskill's pickoff with less than two minutes remaining iced the game for IUP.

"We played our hearts out and our defense played great," Petrucci said. "At times, our offense also played very well. But you can't make mistakes against good football teams and get away with it." Cignetti was leary of California after preparing for the Vulcans last week in practice. "The coaches were concerned we might come into this game flat. We didn't seem to have a lot of emotion and California played very well.

We can't take anything away from them, but we didn't play a good football game. We are very happy to get out of here with a win." quarterback Sam Mannery completed 20 of 40 passes for 277 yards. Eight of the receptions were made by sophomore Duane Dupont for 99 yards. "Duane has been playing well all season," California Coach Jeff Pet-rucci said. "Now, he is comfortable, playing with confidence and making good decisions.

He is doing a lot more things naturally and he usually finds a way to get open." IUP took the lead on Adamro-vich's 7-yard run in the first quarter. Cal's Jim Kraynak connected on field goals of 28 and 30 yards in the second quarter to bring the Vulcans to within a point at the half. The first field goal gave California its first points against IUP since 1985. The four shutouts are the only games in Petrucci's nine-year coaching career in which his team hasn't scored. "I think the media was the only Barber's TD catch in closing seconds shocks CMU, 19-14 COLLEGE to shake ones concerned about the (scoreless) streak," Petrucci said.

"We dropped a couple passes in the end zone in 1986 and in '87 we ran up and down the field, but fumbled the ball away when we got close to scoring. Last year, Sam (Mannery) got hurt in the second quarter and the score was 7-0 at the time. It's not like we haven't moved the ball on them in recent years." IUP Coach Frank Cignetti didn't seem bothered that the shutout string ended. "We knew that it would come to an end someday," Cignetti said. "Statistics like that are good for the writers, but our main concern is to win football games." The Indians did win, but it wasn't easy.

California took a 14-7 lead in the third quarter when Mannery threw a 12-yard scoring strike to Vic Shandor.

Fumbles, interceptions and penalties played a major role the rest of the way. With less than four minutes to go in the game, IUP's Tony Aliucci completed a 43-yard pass to tight end Paul Kovell, then scrambled for 12 yards on a key third-down play to set up the winning points a 3-yard run by Fegley. "We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we didn't expect it to be this tough," Cignetti said.

"We dropped a touchdown pass, had a long touchdown run called back and were guilty of too many penalties. "But when we had to, we played well enough to get the job done. Aliucci didn't have a very good day by his standards (10 of 19, 119 yards, one interception), but we came up with the big play when we had to.

I BE AUTO SERVICE i fl GREENVILLE Bill Barber caught a 4-yard lob pass from Jeff Sorenson with four seconds left in the game to give Thiel a stunning 19-14 victory in the Presidents Conference against Carnegie Mellon yesterday. It was the second victory in a row for Thiel (2-5, 2-1), which last beat CMU (4-3, 2-1) in 1975. The Tomcats broke a 14-game losing streak against Grove City last week. Thiel got all of its points in the final quarter, Jackie Jackson scoring on runs of 1 and 7 yards before the teams went into a comedy routine en route to the winning score. After Thiel trimmed CMU's lead to 14-12 with 8:56 to go, CMU ran four plays and fumbled.

Thiel ran off three plays and fumbled the ball back. CMU fumbled on its fifth play and Thiel took over at its 41. Ten plays later, Barber scored. CMU outgained Thiel in the first half, 208-53, and Thiel dominating the second half, 270-54. Sorenson completed 15 of 32 passes for 214 yards and Barber caught seven for 140 yards.

Jackson carried 24 for 85 yards. Bill Snyder completed seven of 15 passes for 101 yards, two of them scoring tosses to Dean Garo-fola (11 yards) and Martin Stover (13), but had two intercepted. Westminster 28 Waynesburg 0 WAYNESBURG It's a traditional rivalry, but Waynesburg (3-5) wasn't much of a rival for Westminster (6-0).

With North Dakota State's 20-13 loss to St. Cloud, Westminster and Notre Dame share the longest college winning streak. Westminster scored first on a 10-yard run by Mark Norcutt and made it 21-0 at the half on an 18-yard pass from Joe Micchia to Dave Foley and Rich Leonard's recovery in the end zone of a bad snap to Waynesburg quarterback Jim Eley. Micchia completed 14 of 30 passes for 175 yards. Brad Tokar (17 carries for 79 yards) and Matt Carny (11 for 82) led Westminster's rushing attack.

Hal Galupi completed 11 of 15 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns and Ernest Priester caught six passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns.

Geneva scored first, on a 31 -yard pass from Scott Schmitt to Travis Frazier. Schmitt completed 11 of 21 for 164 yards. But Mercyhurst struck for touchdowns on an 18-yard pass from Don Gordon to Tom Hemer and a 1-yard run by Brian Haberstock in the second quarter to take a 14-7 lead. The Lakers, who were outgained, 440-176, were shut down in the second half as Bellante took over.
