Seniors in last year as Civic Action Leaders continue to contribute in community By Kathryne Rubright Pulse Editor
Emma Sales first heard about the Civic Action Leader [CAL] program at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service her freshman year. Now she’s in her third and final year of the program, and helps to plan the day. She researched the program after hearing about it and found that “the mission and the goals of the program really aligned with my personal goals and values, and so it was a way to continue a lot of that community service that I did in high school, but in a bigger

700 volunteer on day of service WHO IS JESUS? 45 community partners give students unique experience By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
While Martin Luther King Jr. Day is day a off for students, more than 700 volunteers will be having a “day on.” Those volunteers will be enjoying their day spread throughout 45 community partners in Northwest Ohio during this year’s MLK Day of Service, put on by the Office of Service Learning. “It’s the whole notion of, we are going to make this a day on and not a day off, because MLK never wanted a day off of school in his honor,” said senior civic action leader Emma Sales. “I think he would have liked to see people coming together for the greater good in his honor.” These volunteers will be coming together to help the 45 partners. While that is less
than last year’s amount, it was intentional, said assistant director of co-curricular activities at the Office of Service Learning Jeremy Doughty. “What we wanted to focus on this year was having sites that can host a larger number of volunteers,” he said. “If we have sites that can host five volunteers the transportation logistics get quite messy.” Not only does it allow larger events, but it allows organizations to stick together for their service Sales said. “It’s the one opportunity for students to have a service project created for them and they get to serve with whatever organization they signed up with,” she said. The day will start with the opening ceremony where

he grew up as a charismatic child and his love for Bowling Green. “Through Kelly, we can’t imagine a better place to raise children than this city,” she said. Kelly spoke immediately after his mother by saying, “I knew I could count on Mom to say something nice.” He explained how he became involved with public service work by marching in Columbus for SB5, a bill that cut hundreds of jobs and violated workers rights. “It was a political awakening,” he said. “It was a start
of a four year journey for me to start being more involved politically in my community and my country.” He covered his goals and hopes for the campaign and how to achieve many of them. These goals include: creating more community involvement voting, stressing the importance of building education through public schools and Bowling Green State University, reducing electric rates and making the citizen voice a main priority.

Media Review: “The Gambler” Movie is suspenseful, surprising, but main character delivers overlong monologues By Kendra Clark Campus Editor
PHOTO PROV
MARK WAHLBERG plays Jim Bennett, a literature professor and high-stakes gambler.
I have never been one for gambling. I’ve only been to a casino three times and left within an hour. I’ve always been afraid and slightly fascinated with people that have become addicted to gambling. So when I saw a movie called “The Gambler” in theaters, it was a nobrainer to check it out. The movie, staring Mark Wahlberg, portrays a professor and son of a very rich family who can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble. Whenever he walks in to a gambling ring, he heads to the black jack table and bets everything. That’s what he is about; all or nothing. He will almost without fail win
the first round, then bet it all again. This cycle continues until he inevitably loses. Then to make up for his loss and need of more money, he turns to different gangsters for loans. Through this cycle, he digs himself into deeper and deeper trouble as the gangsters start demanding their money back when he has none to give. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but I will say that it is surprising. For the professor, he had one problem from the beginning. He believed in all or nothing. He would rather have it all, or nothing at all. He only saw the world as one side or another. There was no in between

A look ahead at 2015 in entertainment For the first Pulse of the year, I thought it would be appropriate to take a look ahead at what I’m looking forward to in entertainment in 2015. The movie I’m perhaps most looking forward to stars Amy Poehler and Tina Fey as estranged sisters. It’s appropriately titled “Sisters.” They throw a party at the house their parents are about to sell (presumably, the house the sisters grew up in). It’s a good bet that hilarity will ensue, as it always does with Poehler and Fey. The only downside is having to wait until Dec. 18 to see it. Another movie I’m looking forward to is still untitled. It’s due in May, directed by Cameron Crowe, and is a romantic comedy starring Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone. I can’t turn down seeing those two as a couple. The supporting cast is nothing to sneeze at either; it includes Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski and Bill Murray. At worst, it may be a typical romantic comedy, but it’ll still be a typical romantic comedy with a solid cast. I’m not so thrilled about the large number of sequels that will be coming out, but that’s just normal by now. 2015 will see the release of such highly-numbered films as “Mission: Impossible 5” and “Furious 7.” I’m not convinced we need that many Mission: Impossible and Fast and Furious movies, but obvi-
ously the amount of people who disagree with me is large enough that the movies will still be financially worth it. “Mission: Impossible 5” will open on Christmas Day, and “Furious 7” opens April 3. Kenneth Branagh is directing a live action version of Cinderella. Helena Bonham Carter plays the Fairy Godmother, which to me feels like a weirdly non-crazy role for her. I know her as Bellatrix Lestrange and as Mrs. Lovett from “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” (You know, the one where she bakes people into pies). In music, Imagine Dragons is set to release their second album, “Smoke + Mirrors” on Feb. 17. Other than that, nothing with a confirmed title and release date really catches my attention. Flogging Molly is apparently supposed to release an album in early 2015 - but it’s early 2015 now, and we don’t really have details yet. In April, the theatre department will put on “Urinetown,” a satirical musical in which people must pay to use restrooms. Sounds bizarre, yet promising. So far, 2015 looks no better or worse than average to me.

for him, no just going down the middle or having just enough. He also believed that if you have it all or nothing, you can’t have people hold things over your head and tell you that you don’t deserve something. Now, these things I’m telling you may not make sense, but it will once you watch the movie. I don’t know how I feel about the movie. I liked it because the movie had me sitting on the edge of my seat at times. That moment when you hold your breath with the main character when the dealer reveals the cards and their fate is invigorating. The chemistry of the main character with the gangsters was
scary. You never knew what was going to happen next. However, there were a lot of flaws in the story line as well. I didn’t like how the main character could just carry on monologues with other people and have it portrayed like that could actually happen. He seemed like a guy who loved to hear himself talk and people didn’t mind staying quiet for him for five minutes at a time. Sorry, but that is just annoying, especially if you’re just preaching. In all, I would give the movie a 7 out of 10. It is a good movie to watch maybe once it goes onto Redbox or Netflix, but I wouldn’t pay to see it in the theater unless you have a discount.

“TOO SCHOOL FOR COOL”
Those who argue about birth control Current generation more educated, miss main point, key issue funding hardworking rather than entitled Free birth control is not an entitlement. It is a protection. There is a certain condition for a society to function smoothly. Care. It is a given that in any society, people care and have compassion about themselves and others, especially youth. It is also a given that human beings are wild enough and still connected to nature enough for sex to occur no matter what barriers are present. Everything about human interaction eventually leads to sex. Trying to fight that is comparable to fighting the mechanisms that produce the tide. And sex comes with serious risk; sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, etc. Put these conditions together and it becomes imperative that protections be in place. A society cares for its members, sex occurs no matter what and individuals are at great risk of harm from it. Therefore, protection must be readily available. It is not a question of entitlement. Birth control is not a right and shouldn’t be the responsibility of the state. If someone doesn’t want to pay for birth control, they should not be forced to. Nor is it a question of morality. Promoting abstinence

does nothing to stem the issue of unprotected sexual activity. It ignores it. How exactly does one stop people who are adamant about having sex? Monitor them? It is absurd to think a person deserves free condoms or that condoms are morally wrong. Just as it is absurd to say kids playing a pickup football game deserve helmets or wearing those helmets are morally wrong. If someone were to provide helmets to the kids, it would be for protection. And it would be reasonable for those kids to wear the helmets. So it is with free birth control. The question that should be asked is not whether or not birth control should be freely provided, as many progressives and conservatives erringly argue ad nauseum. The question that needs to be asked and argued is how free birth control should be provided and paid for. That’s where the problem lies. Should birth control be the responsibility of all members of a society or should it only be the responsibility of those

“...birth control is a private need and should be taken care of privately by those who care about it.” who are engaged in the activity? As a libertarian, I argue that birth control is a private need and should be taken care of privately by those who care about it. For example, parents. Parents should pay for their kids’ birth control, because they are the ones responsible for their children’s help. The tired argument between the left-wing and right-wing on whether people should have access to birth control or not needs to stop. It is only a digression and a distraction. No, birth control is not a right which should be provided by the state via taxation. And no, birth control is not grounds for a moral crusade to promote abstinence while ignoring nature and free will. Bir t h cont rol is protection. Those who care to protect the members of their society are those who should provide it.

For the first time in U.S history, there is a generation that is poorer, more indebted and less employed than any other preceding generation. According to an August 2014 Washington Post survey, 65 percent of Americans believe that this generation is “entitled.” Commonly referred to as Millennials, this generation is us. Some might argue that the blame for Millennials’ hardships lies in our own laps. After all, we are “entitled,” right? We have grandiose dreams and successfully navigate our way through higher education with the help of the latest technology. We are confident, ambitious and we seek a place in the workforce that corresponds with our educational backgrounds. However, we are not to blame for our sense of entitlement. Economically, the Great Recession thwarted fiscal growth and the creation and sustainment of new jobs. Older generations of people are still in the workforce [often because they do not have the financial means to retire] and adolescents obtaining college degrees has become the debt-fueled standard. The Great Recession was caused by the symptomatic troubles of the United States that were long per-
DEANNA HUFFMAN COLUMNIST
petuated, yet unheeded. The truth of the matter is that the Millennials’ fate was penned long ago by the Baby Boomers: the generation of individuals who have created or maintained the very institutions and policies that encumber us. They make up onethird of voting-aged Americans and hold about two-thirds of the seats of the United States House of Representatives and Senate. They comprise the most unproductive legislature in American history, yet they are re-elected 94 and 87 percent of the time, respectively. Some examples of actual entitlement include tripling the national debt; the reliance on fossil fuel, while simultaneously refusing to adapt to the need for radical de-carbonization; exacerbating environmental issues and posing a risk to the planet that we will someday be the stewards of. Financially, we seem to make up Generation Y. As in, “Generation Y am I so broke?” Education is the key to success, we’re told. Stay in school, they say. And we did.
Nearly two-thirds of Millennials graduate from college, accumulating an average of $26,000 in student loan debt, per person. To combat this, 21.6 million Millennials between the ages of 18 and 31 live at home with their parents. According to Bloomberg, tuition expenses have increased for our generation [over the past 28 years] an astounding 538 percent. However, there are roughly 86 million Millennials in the U.S., yet only 4.7 million jobs have been created in the past three years – and about 8 million jobs were lost between 2008 and 2009. We are part of a generation with more college education than ever before, innovative technology in the palms of our hands and a hardworking mindset with an ambitious attitude. Unfortunately, we are also part of a generation that faces crippling tuition costs, massive debt and a devastating job market. However, it’s important that we do not lose hope. After all, by 2020, Millennials will make up 50 percent of the workforce and 40 percent of the U.S electorate. Change can and will occur, beginning with us - “The Next Great Generation.”

BGSU Mall supports University Money brought in through shopping goes to programs and services By Annie Furia Copy Chief
Members of the BGSU Mall website, launched by the University Bookstore in fall 2014, can donate to the University while they shop. According to the BGSU Mall website, the website offers “discounts, coupons & rewards from 1200 participating stores.� Anyone can sign up for a free account on the website and use it to buy from the websites of various retailers, such as Toms, Macy’s and Amazon. As members shop, up to 10 percent of each purchase goes to the University. That money “supports programs and services benefiting BGSU,� according to the website. Wendy Schortgen, assistant merchandising manager for the bookstore, wrote in an email, “The money earned from the site goes to our continued sponsorships and donations to on campus student organizations and causes. This support and involvement with organizations such as Dance Marathon and ser v ice-learning opportunities is very important to the book-

way,� Sales said. Previous experience with community service isn’t a requirement for becoming a CAL, though. The Office of Service Learning is more concerned with selecting CALs who are “motivated and genuinely interested in community service,� said Jeremy Doughty, assistant director of co-curricular programs and Civic Action Leaders. “We’re very open-minded when it comes to applicants,� Doughty said. “We really value diversity in our office.� Though Sales came in with community service experience, she has grown in the area of event planning. Earlier in the year, Sales focused on fundraising, Doughty said. Money is needed to cover costs related to the event, as well as to pay for supplies such as paint that are used in various service projects. As the Day of Service approached, Sales’ atten-
store, and we are happy to be able to give back to our customers.� Schortgen wrote that the idea for the BGSU Mall came from an industry trade show. To launch the website, “[The bookstore] partnered with a company that manages the site, partners with the stores, and sources the deals and discounts offered on the bgsumall. com,� Schortgen wrote. The partner company is Affinity Stores, which runs the Cause Network platform the site is hosted on. Chief Operating Officer of Affinity Stores Glen Gulyas said, “Cause Network is a marketplace designed to empower consumers, fund great causes and enable national brands to support those funds.� Gulyas said Affinity Stores runs the platform the site is on, but the University could customize the features of the store. One of the customizable features is which retailers appear the site. Gulyas said the University could choose from a list of over 1100 retailers. Comparing it to other deal or coupon sites,
Gulyas said the BGSU Mall allows members to get “the same great deals and send money to a worthwhile cause.� In addition to accounts being free, Gulyas said the BGSU Mall website does not take any credit card information. Purchases are handled on the retailer websites. A i leen Nor t her n, account manager for partners at Affinity Stores, said over 100 new members have joined the BGSU Mall website since November. Still, Gulyas said he wanted to bring more attention to the store. “One of the things we’re hoping to do this year is work a little more closely with Bowling Green to get emails out to students, parents and alumni,� Gulyas said. “We need to let everybody know that this store exists.� Schortgen wrote that the bookstore had a similar goal. “We are hoping through increased marketing and awareness, we can increase web traffic on the site, therefore allowing us to continue and expand upon our student organization sponsorships and support,� Schortgen wrote.
tion turned to organizing transportation. That was not a small task, as 700 volunteers will be headed to 45 community partners to complete projects. Civic Action Leader Maddi Georgoff has been organizing the day’s opening and closing ceremonies, including the guest speakers, Doughty said. Sales and Georgoff often focus on helping the community, but they also know that they in turn have been helped by the CAL program. “We always joke — and I think it was something Maddi said our first year — that we should be paying the program,� Sales said. [CALs receive scholarships in exchange for their work.] Georgoff agreed, adding, “We receive so much support and training and resources that it’s something that I don’t want to imagine my college experience without. I’ve really become a better person because of this program.� She’s gained professional skills and event planning knowledge, but has also adopted new values and become more civically
engaged, she said. Students interested in similar growth must apply for the program by Jan. 26. After the Office of Service Learning and the current CALS review the applications, some applicants will be chosen for interviews. Then comes a group interview and a final individual interview. Two people will be chosen, Georgoff said. “It’s pretty competitive, but the application process and the interview process is a really good experience for people who might not have had interview experiences before,â€? Georgoff said. The office will try to notify chosen CALs before spring break. As a new cohort comes in, it’s time for Sales and Georgoff to think about where they’re going next. “One of the most incredible things is that we both have a few opportunities after graduation, but none of them are things that we were really actively seeking out,â€? Georgoff said. “They were brought to us ‌. It’s cool to be recognized by the community as future leaders in this field.â€?

President Mary Ellen Mazey will speak along with a keynote speaker who will be given the first Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commitment to Service Award. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this award we are trying to connect a leader in the BGSU community with Martin Luther King Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy,â&#x20AC;?

WICKS From Page 2 When talking about the goals for the University, Wicks said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When BGSU does well, Bowling Green [as a community] does well. We can work together in many ways to attract top quality students, from right here back in our backyard and across the world.â&#x20AC;? Michael Hart, a financial advisor for the Wicks campaign said that the campaign is putting the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and young kids in public schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best interests at heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want educated people with degrees teaching [our] kids,â&#x20AC;? he said.
where they will be going or what they will be doing until they arrive at their destination. Once they arrive at their destination, they will be given what is called a challenge event, which is the service they will be responsible to complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This underscores the importance of doing service regardless of who the partner is or what the service project is,â&#x20AC;? Doughty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some might not know the needs of the volunteers in Northeast Ohio.â&#x20AC;? Sales said that adds to the unique opportunity that this day gives volunteers.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a unique opportunity to think of service in a different way,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are trying to do here is make it more fun and also it gives someone something tangible to complete.â&#x20AC;? This will be the eighth year of the MLK Day of Service, giving students a chance to give back together on a day when they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally have to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us it is always going to be about MLKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy and bringing people together in service,â&#x20AC;? Sales said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even things that may seem small to students mean a lot to community partners.â&#x20AC;?
Wicks stressed the importance of creating a welcoming and strong environment for the Bowling Green community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be this way without Grounds For Thought, which provides the community a place that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t restrict diversity,â&#x20AC;? said community member Vassiliki Leontis. People of all ages come to spend times at the coffee shop and the store has ended up more than just a coffee shop, she said. When asked about the stamina of Wicks campaign, Leontis puffed out her chest and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is not afraid.â&#x20AC;? When asked about the future of Grounds For Thought, Wicks has
assured that the community members will still see the coffee shop standing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already transitioned [for the campaign],â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crew have already picked up extra shifts and Laura as my business partner and my wife will be running Grounds.â&#x20AC;? Wicks praised his wife and employees for their hard work to the coffee shop in his earlier address to the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about being a cheerleader for my community,â&#x20AC;? Wicks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see a city I love, a wonderful place to live and do business [and] a town with great people and a bright future.â&#x20AC;?

Much the same as the season story for the BG women’s basketball team to date, its game on Wednesday night featured many ups and downs. The ups outweighed the downs this time around as the Falcons [8-7] defeated Northern Illinois [5-8], 65-59 for their first Mid-American Conference win of the season. The biggest test for the Falcons was the full court pressure they faced to end the game. Holding a 20-point lead with under six minutes remaining in the game, Northern Illinois began to show a different look to BG. This sparked a 24-10 Huskies run to end the game, including an array of BG mistakes. During the Falcons’ recent 5-game losing skid they were averaging 15 turnovers per game while reaching as many as 19 in their
home game against Ball State on Jan. 3. However, BG was taking care of the ball for most of the game with just five turnovers in the first half. The Falcons had four turnovers in the final six minutes and finished with 13 for the game. “They [NIU] put the press on us, we just weren’t expecting that so we weren’t prepared for it,” said senior guard Deborah Hoekstra. “We hadn’t worked on our press-breakers the past couple days of practice, so that came as the biggest surprise, but at the end we figured it out.” BG was able to figure it out, finishing the final minutes with 10 free throws to cling to its once 55-35 lead. “We’ve been having trouble taking care of the ball, so even though we had some late turnovers against their pressure at the end

BG hockey team prepares for game against No. 11 team in nation By Corey Krupa Reporter
The BG hockey team enters this weekend’s series ranked 7th in the nation as it takes on 11th ranked Michigan Tech on the road. “They’re a great team,” BG head coach Christopher Bergeron said. “I wasn’t sure there was a team as good as they were that we played last year.” The Huskies started the season 10-0-0 and were ranked number one in the country; however, they are 5-6-1 since then. “We’re going to have to be ready to go. They’ll expose you if you’re not,” Bergeron said. Michigan Tech holds a 9-7-2 all-
time series lead in the head-to-head matchup against BG. The Falcons are 2-5-1 all-time on the road against the Huskies. However, BG swept Michigan Tech at home last March in the first round of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs to advance to the WCHA Final Five. The Falcons enter the series with a nine-game unbeaten streak, going 6-0-3 during that span. Both WCHA teams have been ranked for more than a month. BG’s overall record of 13-3-4 is the program’s best start since the 1995-1996 season. Its last loss came against Ohio State at home on Nov. 14, 3-2.
Last weekend at the BGSU Ice Arena, the Falcons earned three out of a possible four points against the Alaska Nanooks. BG defeated Alaska 3-0 on Friday night. The Falcons were trailing 4-1 in the third period of Saturday’s game, but rallied back to end the game in a 4-4 tie. In the closing minutes of regulation in Saturday’s game, Ben Murphy scored two goals for the Falcons. “We were able to settle in and actually play a pretty good game. I thought that we defended hard all game long,” Bergeron said. “Ultimately, what we were able to

After opening its 2015 season with a 194.775-194.075 win, the now 14th ranked BG gymnastics team travels to Knoxville, Tennessee, this Saturday to compete in the Ozone College Classic against Alaska Anchorage, Brigham Young and Wisconsin-Whitewater. The Falcons’ current ranking is their second best ranking in program history and their first placement inside the GymInfo Top 20 since January 21, 2002. Head Coach Kerri Turner was pleased with the team’s overall performance in its opening meet. “It was a total team performance,” Turner said. “Gymnastics is an interesting sport because it’s individuals competing; however, you’re building a team score. It took everybody. It wasn’t one or two people who made that win happen, it took the entire team. This team is really special and the way they’ve come together as a unit is why we’ve been so successful.” Despite recent accomplishments of the team, head coach Kerri Turner is poised to mentally and physically prepare the
team for this weekend’s competition. “A lot of people have been congratulating me and the team this week,” Turner said. “However, about five minutes after the meet against Michigan State, I was already focused on this trip to Tennessee and what our team needed to do to be successful. Yes, it is great that we have gotten off to a great start, but my team understands that dwelling on our successes isn’t going to get us to the MAC Championship or the NCAA regionals. We have to be focused week in and week out.” Coach Turner credits her seniors, Amanda Lievendag, Jamilah Ali, Gina Locigno and Alexandria Porter, for keeping the team humbled. “I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going into this year,” Turner said, “However, I’ve been really impressed with the way they’ve been leading the team; they know what they are capable of. They don’t want to just have potential, they want to meet potential and go beyond it.” Lievendag says the team has received a massive amount of praise and public support this week, but that hasn’t dis-

Track and field team prepares for second meet By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
Track and field isn’t like basketball, football or the other popular American sports. There is no win-loss record. Only one thing matters and that is a time, mark or jump. That puts an entirely different spin on each track meet that the BG track and field team participates in. “If you win and you didn’t get the time, you kind of don’t care. You do, but you don’t because if you don’t get the time you don’t go to [the MidAmerican Conference Championships],” said junior Alicia Arnold. “That’s the whole reason for the season.” While last week’s win at the BG Opener was good for the program, what matters the most is their consistent improvement. “It’s a momentum
piece, you feel good about what’s going on, so that helps,” said head coach Lou Snelling. “Things get real in February for the indoor season, so it’s fantastic we got that win. It will give us momentum, but where we go from here is important.” From here the Falcons will head to Ann Arbor, Michigan for the Simmons-Har vey Invitational Saturday. While the meet will not give out team scores, it will give the Falcons a chance to compete against other teams in the MAC that will be in attendance. This is a direct benefit for the Falcons, because instead of looking at other meets and seeing MAC teams, they can compete right next to them. “I know it’s like ‘oh shoot, MAC teams you have to turn up, but you have to turn up every meet,” Arnold said. “Regardless of what they run, I’m in my
own lane and I have to run my own thing, so I really try not to think about the other people too much.” While the focus this weekend will be on improving in Michigan, the larger focus is on the end of the season. “We put all of our eggs in the end of the season basket. It’s all about the MAC, and what’s beyond that,” Snelling said. Despite the focus on the end of the season, Snelling has stressed to the team to focus on the details. “Right now it’s a lot of process stuff, in terms of all details,” he said. “If we hit the process stuff then things are going to continue to get better.” While the Falcons don’t have a win-loss record, they have a chance this weekend to improve and move up those all-important MAC lists. “If we do our jobs we should be able to continue to improve,” Snelling said.
of the game, with only 13 I thought that was a muchneeded improvement from games previously,” said head coach Jennifer Roos. “We made a lot of tough foul shots in crunch time.” After a slow start to the game, not scoring until a Miriam Justinger jumper nearly five minutes in, the Falcons fell behind 10-12 after an NIU shot near the 9-minute mark. However, BG followed this with a 9-0 run, getting points from Justinger and a pair of freshmen: Haley Puk and Rachel Myers. The Falcons never gave up the 19-12 lead from this point on. “We have freshmen who aren’t playing like freshmen anymore and can’t play like freshmen anymore,” Hoekstra said. “Everybody has had to step up into roles a little bit earlier than they would have had to.” Puk and Myers had each been substitutes prior to starting recent games. Puk for the past six, Myers for the past two. R e d s h i r t-f r e s h m a n , Kennedy Kirkpatrick and true freshman, Sarah Baer have also seen their minutes increase following the plethora of injuries. Justinger and sophomore, Rachel Konieczki are the only two players to start every game for the Falcons this season.
WWW.BGNEWS.COM Lievendag said. “We try to go into every meet with a blank slate and clear vision of how we want to perform. We try not to worry about the rankings, or what everybody says.” Despite the win to open the season, the Falcons remain focused and are motivated to keep improving as the season
progresses. “We share a strong bond with one another,” sophomore and 2014 MAC Freshman of the Year Lauren Feely said. “We all have the same focus, drive, and goals. With each competition, we learn from it, we put it behind us and move on. We are a mentally tough team.”
The Falcons scored five more points to close out the first half, 24-17, including a deep three at the right wing from senior Jasmine Matthews. “The crowd went crazy when Jasmine hit her deep three,” Roos said. “I really thought that energy carried over to the second half for a lot of people.” Whether it was energy or not, the BG women played a much more efficient and effective second half. The Falcons shot 32 percent from the field and 25 percent [3-12] from behind the arc in the first half. BG followed up its poor first half by shooting 60 percent from the field and 50 percent [5-10] from three. They finished the game shooting 45.2 percent and 36.4 percent from three. The field goal percentage was the best since their last win on Dec. 21 against Bradley when they shot 45.8 percent. BG opened the half with a jumper from Hoekstra on the first possession and never looked back. At the 14:19 mark, Rachel Myers found an open Rachel Konieczki on the left wing for three. Myers then hit two threes of her own to give the Falcons back-to-back-toback threes to extend their lead to 13. “Rachel Myers hit a couple big threes there and we all just fed off that energy because the shots we were taking in the first half were
good, they were just in-andout,” Hoekstra said. “We just needed one shot to fall and once that happened I really thought that the flood gates would open up for us, especially in the second half,” Roos said. “We kept telling them to shoot, giving them the green light and I think that paid off for us. We had a lot of confident shooters late in the second half that was able to extend that run to what it was.” Four others hit three-point shots for the Falcons including Justinger, Puk, Hoekstra and Matthews. “[NIU] has a defensive philosophy that is known nationally. They are holding teams in the fifties, high forties. If we could get to fifty first, I thought we could be successful,” Roos said. BG did just that, eventually taking a 50-33 lead. The Falcons’ lead dropped to as low as five points before securing the 6-point win. The win was the first in the MAC for the Falcons [1-3] this season. Now, the Falcons prepare for another short-handed game as they shift their focus to another conference opponent and go on the road to play Eastern Michigan on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. “Our focus is playing 40 minutes of intense, hardworking basketball, diving on the floor for loose balls, making all of the effort plays that we can because we are a short roster,” Hoekstra said.

At Bowling Green FUMC, people live out their faith through ministries that seek to make a difference in the lives of people – socially and spiritually. “Students at BGSU can connect with us by looking at our website or calling into our offices to learn more about different learning, worship, and service possibilities they can do if they are interested,” said Erin Hachtel, Director of Ministries and Outreach. “FUMC has a range of opportunities for people of all ages; we host a free dinner coordinated by local churches, a community garden supported by church and community groups, choral and contemporary music, Vacation Bible School, a monthly food distribution, and a day care center.” Additionally, each fall, interested students are matched with FUMC families through the “Adopt-A-Student” program, giving both students and families an opportunity to develop lifelong friendships and serve together.

Swim and dive team prepares for second home meet of season By Katherine Wernke Reporter
After more than one month away from meets, the Bowling Green swim and dive team gets back to competition this weekend. The Falcons will take on three teams over the two-day competition. Friday, Jan. 16, the women face Marshall and Michigan State at 6 p.m. Saturday, they continue with Marshall and add in Mid-American Conference rival Toledo beginning at 11 a.m. Despite the lack of realtime racing over the break, the team has focused on training and preparation for MAC Championships in a few weeks. Each swimmer had varied training based on what type of races they compete in. “These last couple weeks, it’s kind of about keeping them in a good place mentally,” head coach Petra Martin said. Martin has scheduled meets and invites throughout the season to give the

women a taste of what MACs will be like. This weekend the racing Friday will go late, and Saturday will start early, similar to what will be seen at MACs. Every meet this season has been a stepping stone to MAC Championships, but Martin says the team needs to keep in mind the racing that is left. “They know that it’s coming, it’s here, and people are getting excited,” Martin said. “At the same time we still have some work to do and we’ve got to make sure that they keep taking things one day at a time, one workout at a time, and don’t get too ahead of ourselves.” Now, going into the break with momentum at 3-0, the time off has kept the team away from meets, but junior Tara Capouch sees some value in having that time. “It goes both ways because it’s always nice to have a meet to see where the team is at and how you’re doing, but it also gave us a chance to get a
the nation in winning percentage at .929, and is third nationally in both save percentage [.950] and goals-against-average [1.41]. The team currently has the best penalty kill percentage in the nation at 93.7 percent including 22-for-22 on the penalty kill since Dec. 5. BG will look to add to their 9-1-2 conference record this weekend on the road against Michigan Tech. Both Friday’s and Saturday’s games will start at 7:07 p.m.
lot stronger as a team in the water and out of the water,” Capouch said. Taking on a Big Ten team as well as a rival, sophomore Maya Skorupski is excited to get back in the pool. “I love swim meets,” Skorupski said. “They’re just so much different than practice. You get in and there’s just something about out-touching people. It’s a very different environment so I’m excited.” Adding to the excitement is the home element. The Falcons will be back in Cooper Pool after having just one home meet last year. “It will be good,” Martin said. “We love racing here. We love our pool. We’re excited to bring our fans here.” “To have people come out and take time out of their day to come out and support us and see what swimming is all about makes us go faster because we don’t want to let them down when they come,” Skorupski said.
