INDIANA, Pa. – The IUP football team made timely plays when it mattered and held off a final push from eighth-ranked Slippery Rock in a wire-to-wire 20-12 Homecoming victory at a soggy George P. Miller Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

IUP defensive back and Cathedral Prep grad Jaheim Howard had four tackles in the win helping limit Noah Grover and the high-powered IUP passing attack.

Conneaut grad Kyle Sheet had five receptions for 53 yards for SRU.

While Slippery Rock (4-1, 1-1) moved the ball with efficiency throughout the day, IUP (4-0, 2-0) secured a pair of red-zone interceptions from Kalen Frazier and Naszhir Taylor in the opening quarter. SRU eventually notched a pair of touchdowns in the second half to get on the board, missing both extra points, before IUP held off a final drive from the visitors in a driving rain.
