Gas line replacement to begin in few weeks
City’s $6.4 million project start date weather-dependent By Kathryne Rubright City Editor
Residents of Bowling Green’s 3rd and 4th wards will see a $6.4 million gas line replacement project begin within the next few weeks. The project’s start date is “weather-dependent” but is expected to be in March, said Chris Kozak, communications and community relations manager for Columbia Gas of Ohio. The first step will be to run cameras through the city’s sewers to map them out so as not to hit them while doing pipeline work. Columbia Gas will upgrade main lines from steel to plastic and replace lines connecting main lines to individual homes. In total, about 37,500 feet of pipelines will be upgraded, Kozak said. Other upgrades include moving meters in basements so they are outside and upgrading pipes from low pressure to medium pressure, Kozak said. Columbia Gas determined which pipelines to upgrade based on which systems have required more frequent repairs, Kozak said. Lines will be replaced between Ordway Avenue and Poe Road west of Main Street, said Municipal Administrator John Fawcett. The project will affect 930 customers, Kozak said. [There is no financial cost to any residents, however.] City Park will also be affected. City Council is considering an ordinance to grant Columbia Gas an easement in the park so it can do the necessary work there. The ordinance’s first reading was March 2. At the Feb. 17 council meeting, Fawcett said the city has “asked Columbia Gas to be mindful that May 1 through [the] end of September is very active for City Park, and we are hoping that they’ll black out that area as far as any type of active construction.” The project should not be too
Popular trivia game helps raise awareness of Women’s History Month Seth Weber Reporter
Thursday night, students got a chance to raise money for a philanthropy by playing trivia. The University’s TOMS club hosted Trivia Crack live, a game based on the popular trivia app. The idea for the event was born when TOMS club President Rodrigo Patterson was playing trivia at a restaurant and thought it would be a good idea for an event. “Who doesn’t like trivia?” Patterson said.
The event began at 7:30 p.m. in Olscamp hall 117. Groups of students registered for $8 a team, most of which were representing an organization, such as Undergraduate Student Government or Alpha Phi Omega. Sophomore Zach Beach, a member of Alpha Phi Omega, said if his team wins they will put some of the money towards Dance Marathon. “I love trivia games in general, so it’s a cool way to make money,” he said. Beach said he’d been preparing for the event by “scanning trivia facts online.”
Sigma Alpha Epsilon joined to donate to the Cocoon Shelter, said sophomore Trent Grohe. He said he was interested in the event because he wanted to support a good cause and liked trivia. “I just like to play Trivia Crack,” he said. “It’s a fun game.” Anyone could register, and didn’t have to be a member of an organization, Patterson said. “If a group of friends want to come they can think of a cause to donate to,” he said. “The purpose of this is to raise awareness of Women’s History Month,”

The University has received national recognition for the opportunities it provides for lowincome students without causing excessive debt. In the state of Ohio, the University was the highest-ranking university on the CollegeNET-PayScale Social Mobility Index. To qualify for such recognition, the University had to meet four criteria: a graduation rate, cost of tuition, endowment and percentage of students coming from low-income households and the salaries of those who start working after graduation. The University ranked 53rd out of 539 schools. “BG has, for some time, tried to be mindful of affordability,” Dean of Students Jodi Webb said. The University recognizes that it is a large commitment to

Administration and financial aid services look for students with strong merit and potential to succeed at the University, rather than primarily their financial situations.

Goal setting important for organizations, accomplishments By Meg Kraft Reporter
Sarah Adams spoke to students about the importance of goal setting on Wednesday. Adams, a student leadership assistant, led the seminar that was part of a comprehensive leadership development program focused on encouraging students to recognize leadership in education. She said the program is geared toward any students who are interested in developing their goals and completing the Leadership Certificate Program. “The Leadership Certificate program is a selfpaced program [run by] the Center for Leadership,” she said. “It takes all of the skills and volunteer experiences that students obtain through mentoring or workshops like this, so when you graduate you receive a tangible certificate for your accomplishments.” Adams began the seminar talking about why goals
INCOME From Page 1 Assessment Joe Frizado said. There’s more of a focus on what that student can bring to the University and how the University can help them grow because of their experiences here. Administration focuses on looking at the whole package a student has to offer to determine if the student has the potential to succeed at the University. “It’s been about how we keep costs manageable and aid scholarships here,” Webb said. It’s not only important to appeal to students with low-income, but to retain the students that come here.
are important for successful organizations. “If you don’t have goals for your group, it will be harder to stay on track because nobody knows [what] they’re working towards,” she said. Adams explained the importance of goal setting throughout students’ college careers. “When we first come to college, our basic goals include getting an education, getting good grades and getting a job,” she said. “But there’s so many things in between that we don’t think about. You have to goal set.” She explained the difference between long-term goals and short-term goals while students mapped out their five-year plan on a worksheet. Adams said the significance of creating a tangible set of goals relates to manifest destiny and visualizing your accomplishments. Megan Hemmelgarn, dietetics major, said her short-term goal is getting an internship and her long-

Freshman Richard Racette said his short-term goal is getting on the dean’s list and his ultimate longterm goal is holding a public office position. The process of accomplishing goals is composed of action steps, barriers, resources and deadlines. Adams said action steps define the specific steps you will take to achieve your goal. “Resources are people or services that will help you achieve your goal, and barriers are obstacles you will need to overcome,” she said. Adams noted the significance in deadlines and how
they act as a targeted date of completion. After completing the five-year plan and goals worksheets, students were inspired by the leadership session. “This seminar was beneficial because it helped me to understand what my goals are and what I want to accomplish with school,” Hemmelgarn said. “I’ve learned that it’s important to develop both short and longterm goals as you visualize your path to success.” Racette, a member of the Phi Psi fraternity, said the seminar taught him how to efficiently map out goals for the organization. “It will help our chapter get on the right path to achieving what we really want to do and prioritize our activities,” he said. To get involved with the Leadership Certificate Program workshops, students can visit the Center for Leadership for more information and apply to be a Student Leadership Assistant.
The University hones in on making a student successful both in and out of the classroom, and making the experience affordable is one way to achieve that. The commitment to student success and growth, as well as financial aid opportunities, are reasons why the University has ranked consistently as one of the best universities for low-income students. It’s important for students to get involved, and that during their first semester here they join an organization. Organizational involvement plays a large role in developing skills out of the classroom that can be applied in a reallife setting. The University orients student all the same by getting them connected
and providing services such as the Learning Commons and Career Services. By providing these services and getting the students engaged, this helps students gain valuable skill-sets and contributes to their success after graduation. Right now the university is in the middle of the decision letters. Potential students will be receiving financial aid letters and determining if they want their collegiate experience to be at the University. Thirty-one percent of the student body is considered to come from a low-income background. “Students make the decision to either go to the University or will figure out what their other options are,” Frizado said.

Midwestern
Writing ERIK BURGASSER | THE BG NEWS
By Kathryne Rubright City Editor
Members of the University creative writing community listened to two faculty members share their writing in Prout Chapel Thursday night. Brad Felver, a General Studies Writing instructor, read a short story, “How to Throw a Punch,” and a short essay. The story was inspired by Felver’s summer working in a Honda plant and featured a euchre-playing factory worker convinced that the unnamed protagonist stole the king of spades from his deck of cards. Though the protagonist doesn’t have it, the worker tasks him with finding the card by the end of the shift. Knowing this is impossible, the protagonist spends his shift preparing to punch the other worker. The essay was about an enormous tree, “a sort of Midwestern lighthouse” on Felver’s family’s farm. It was nicknamed the “taking tree” due to how often balls and other toys became lodged in the tree’s high branches. Lauren Boulton, a master of fine arts student who attended, noticed the Midwestern influence in Felver’s writing and that of Dan Rzicznek, the second reader and a GSW instructor. “They’re both really Midwestern writers in their aesthetic … and they’re from here. I think it’s really cool that the Midwest is developing this voice and they’re kind of supporting that,” Boulton said. One of Rzicznek’s poems was influenced by the recently developed former farmland that his parents live on. While walking one day, he found an old piece of a plow. “Now it’s a doorstop in my office and I look at it all the time and it makes me think of home,” Rzicznek said. “One night I kind of bumped into it in the dark and it fell over and crushed my big toe.” As a result, he wrote a poem called “If you Injure the Left Side of Your Body.” Inspirations for poems can come from just about anywhere – “whatever seems to stick in my brain,” Rzicznek said. That includes television, which Rzicznek told listeners not to discount. “Watch TV. There’s weird stuff happening on TV.” He mentioned the show “Airline,” a reality show that took place in airports. One passenger arrived with blood coming out of his duffel bag. “They found this huge bag of horse blood,” Rzicznek said. “And he said he was using it for medicine …. Whatever his background was, he believed that this horse blood could somehow be used as medicine. So I had to write a poem called ‘Horse Blood Medicine.’” Rzicznek’s other influences include books, things his students say and anything else he encounters. Boulton was familiar with some of Rzicznek’s work before attending, but said hearing it was different than reading it. “It was really lovely to hear it out loud, especially because he has such a great speaking voice.”

Media Review: “House of Cards” Series focuses too heavily on characters’ relationship
PHOTO PROVIDED
ROBIN WRIGHT and Kevin Spacey star as Claire and Frank Underwood in “House of Cards.” By Cameron Teague Robinson Editor-in-Chief
I’m an avid Netflix fan, but I don’t always have time to watch a lot of it, with my schedule being so consumed with the newspaper and covering BG men’s basketball. So, when season three of “House of Cards” was announced to come out on my weekend off, I was ecstatic. I woke up at 4 a.m. and began my bingewatching. I should also say that coming into season three my favorite character was Doug Stamper, but more than that I loved how much each character developed in every episode. That said, season three was my favorite and least favorite season at the same time. That makes no sense, I know. Let me explain. Without spoiling anything, I can say I absolutely loved watching the evolution of Doug Stamper after he
woke up in the hospital. Through 13 episodes, I thought his story could have been explained better, but that’s not my biggest concern. I absolutely loved the detail the show went into with Frank’s policies. I loved hearing about “AmericaWorks,” and loved watching as he and Congress went to war over different decisions. Like the storyline for Doug, again this could have been a bit better. I know you don’t want to bore people with the politics, but then again the viewers know that this is what the show is about. Again, I won’t complain about that too much, because I enjoyed it. Two people ruined the entire season for me, and two very important characters at that: Frank and Claire Underwood. I came into this season liking them both and ended season three on Sunday hating them both. Not because they aren’t amazing characters — they are still two of the most dynamic characters I’ve seen on a show — but because of how much I had to hear about them this season. We knew coming into the season that they had marriage issues, but it got worse in this season, and worse and worse. In the beginning I was intrigued, but by episode six or seven when things picked up in Congress and at the United Nations I was sick of seeing their faces. It was so forced, every argument, every smile and even their awkward sex scene after Frank was crying in his

Students host house concerts Bands play shows in Bowling Green home, create new party atmosphere By Blake Howell Pulse Reporter
There’s a drum kit sitting in both corners; an ensemble of guitars line the back wall and a DJ bounces his head back and forth, his eyes lit by the lights of his computer. Close to 100 people crowd the stage, but the stage isn’t at Howard’s Club or the Cla-zel Theatre. Instead, the sea of people is gathered on a floor that covers a surface area of no more than 1,760 ft., inside a Bowling Green home at 116 N. Summit St. The first performer steps up to the mic, the crowd starts to roar and Billy Gruber, tenant of the house and co-host of the show leans over my shoulder … “Welcome to the rabbit hole,” he said. “Here we go.” On Feb. 21, members of Upper Level Management [ULM] put on their fifth house show of the academic year. They started doing shows in late August and show no signs of slowing down. Gruber said past shows have played host to over 300 people, “on a good night.” Gruber is a senior studying world music at the University and is the percussionist of the band Indian Opinion. He and head of ULM, Nick Edwards, who graduated from the University in 2013 with a degree in sports management and a minor in marketing, said their shared love for music and lack of space are what started the whole outfit. “We’re all musicians, and it’s easier to play a venue that you own rather
than looking for one, and there’s just a closer connection. I don’t think we’ve had a group come and play that we didn’t end up developing an emotional connection with,” Gruber said. The majority of the tenants of the Summit Street house, as well as many of the performers, all know each other from performing in the University’s marching band and drumline. “I’ve known these guys since my freshman year. We did drumline together and our love for music brought us together. I was at their old place and they were jamming out, and I was like ‘man, you guys gotta’ do something with that,’ I mean you really feel the music with these guys,” said Jerome Hurt, who raps out of Detroit and goes by the stage name of “Big Smoove.” Hurt said they needed to do something and do something they did. Since August, ULM has put on a house show almost every month, using social media and flyers to wrangle performers and attendees. Every last Saturday of the month, the walls are sweating, the floors are shaking and music from every genre one can imagine are blasting through the windows, often well into the early hours of the morning. Even in a college town, loud parties are often disbanded because of noise and disorderly conduct, but according to Gruber, they haven’t had any problems. “This started the first weekend back and last year, if we had a party,
it was like, ‘hey, the cops are getting called,’ but this place, because we’re finally in, like, college town, people are pretty cool with us. No one’s ever complained,” he said. Gruber and Edwards said that although the house gets packed with over 100 people and the music carries on until 2 a.m., the reason for their lack of complaints and police visits is because they try to keep things laid back. “People are going to be crowdsurfing and pushing, I mean, we keep it a little tame, moshing is a little much,” Gruber said. As tame as they try to keep things, incidents are bound to happen when you open up your home to over 100 strangers. Doors have been broken or ripped off, fresh holes appear in the drywall from time to time and even artwork makes its way into the home on occasion; someone’s take on male genitalia is displayed on the back door in bright red lipstick. For these reasons, a three dollar cover charge is implemented, which primarily goes to gas for the performers and “renovations after the massive amount of ****ing cyclones” that go through the house. Still, it’s hard to imagine that trivial vandalism is the biggest of their worries when there’s that many people [and intoxicated people at that]. But Sean Kelly, a senior at the University and resident artist who helps promote the shows through artwork, said that the type of teenage-angst

Budget, finance apps increasing in popularity Students learn about ice “I think students skating through club meetings taking charge of their By Hannah Benson Reporter
By Crystal Chlebina Reporter
The Bowling Green skating club gives students the chance to learn more about the sport. Students are able to learn and practice routines that the club puts together during the meetings on Wednesday afternoons and Saturday mornings. One of the skating club’s coaches and advanced skaters, Marianne MazurStewart, said that the best part of the organization is the chance it gives skaters to get to know each other on and off of the ice. The meetings aren’t the only opportunities to join the club. They have other programs as well. “The club really does a lot,” said Stewart. “We have an extravaganza at the end of the year where the kids are able to perform their programs that they have rehearsed, during Christmas time the club has a float in a parade and we have many fundraising projects to raise awareness for the club.” Last semester, the skating club members were given a chance to have a meet and greet at the “Disney on Ice: Princess
and Heroes” show. During this, the members were able to watch how swiftly the actors moved on the ice, as well as hear about the careers of the skating professionals during the meet and greet afterwards. For skaters who wish to further their career in figure skating when they are finished with the club, trying out for events such as the Disney on Ice could be an option for their future. On campus, the University also offers a skating club for those at a collegiate level. Katie Logsdon, president of the skating club, said that the University having a skating rink is one of the main reasons she attended Bowling Green. “I have been skating since I was 7 years old, so when I started visiting colleges my junior year of high school, I would only look at schools with an ice arena,” Logsdon said. “I wanted to continue skating because it was such a huge part of my life. When I found out BG was creating a collegiate skating club it persuaded me to come here.” Jack Fucshman, a sophomore who is taking ice
“....When I started visiting colleges my junior year of high school, I would only look at schools with an ice arena. When I figured out BG was creating a collegiate skating club it persuaded me to come here.” Katie Logsdon | club President
skating lessons through the University this semester, says that ice skating is a sport that helps you to exercise in a fun way. “Whenever I am out on the ice learning new things I am always having fun,” Fucshman said. “Joining the BG Ice Skating Club would be an excellent way to expand my knowledge on the sport.” For any more information on getting involved with the Bowling Green Skating Club, Stewart suggests attending one of the Wednesday or Saturday meetings to sign up.
Budget and finance apps have been become increasingly popular, but they may not surpass traditional methods of managing money. Finance Instructor John Reing said the methods people use to budget their money can vary depending on what they are comfortable using. If people are looking for apps specifically, they should look at Fox Business’s Top Personal Finance and Budgeting Apps online. “There’s thousands of apps out there,” Reing said. “As I tell my students, the best app for personal finance is the one you will use. Be it manual or putting money in a jar, if it allows you to manage your money that’s good.” With apps, a lot of the legwork is done for the user, Reing said. Ultimately, Reing said managing money comes down to discipline, regardless of whether or not one uses an app. “The apps aren’t going to help you [budget],” Reing said. “They may make it fun for you, but you have to have the discipline no matter what method you use.”
finances early is good because the money you save now is worth much more than the money you save 10 years from now.”
Erik Dupont | Learning Common Tutor Erik Dupont, finance and economics subject tutor at The Learning Commons, said most students understand the concept of budgeting, but the fact that money has value over time might be lost on students. “I think even students who are the worst money managers have a concept of rent being due at the end of the month,” Dupont said. “Students are pretty aware, but it pays to be even more aware.” Dupont said he uses excel and mobile banking apps. Apps are appealing because they provide instantaneous information, Dupont said. “They are useful because you get a sense of how you spend your money,” Dupont said.
Being able to deposit checks through the camera on a phone is another benefit to uses mobile banking apps, Dupont said. A PNC Bank representative, Timothy Stokes said they offer their customers the Virtual Wallet because it “gives customers the ability to see when money enters and leaves their account and creates a banking experience that makes it easy for customers to understand.” The representative also said PNC Bank tries to build relationships with students early because the sooner they start saving, the better. “I think students taking charge of their finances early is good because the money you save now is worth much more than the money you save 10 years from now,” Dupont said. Dupont said students could benefit, if they tried to put managing their money into a perspective that’s easy to grasp. “This cup of Starbucks is not me saving $4, its my first beer tonight,” he said. “It’s more about asking yourself what your priorities are and trying to get the most out of your money. Clearly personal finance apps help you do that.”

Patterson said. Drinks were available for 50 cents, pizza for $1 and Cookie Jar for $2. Questions from different categories were asked and each team had to submit an answer, and could buy hints for $1. All the money collected for the event was given to the winner for their charity of choice, and Cookie Car gift cards were given for second and third place. Students could also bring canned food or
women’s sanitary products for seven extra answer sheets. 140 questions were prepared and tested before the event, Patterson said. “A month ago we had a practice round to test it. Everyone who attended loved it,” he said. “We fact checked [the questions] as much as possible.” TOMS will be hosting the event again at Dance Marathon. A team made up of members of University Activities Organization and USG won game one with 125 points and donated their winnings to the Cocoon Shelter.

MESSY ROOM
University Greek Life not reaching full potential as Progress through life at your own pace, don’t a community, has much room for improvement stress out about other people’s accomplishments Greek Life at the University is going well. There are 14 social fraternities and 12 social sororities. However, I don’t think Greek Life is reaching its full potential. A few of the Greek chapters have rivalries with other chapters. Some refuse to have socials with others. I feel like this shouldn’t be the case. To further relationships in the community, every fraternity and sorority should aim to have social gatherings with every single other fraternity and sorority. If all the members within Greek Life got to know other people in other chapters instead of believing rumors and stereotypes, Greek Life would be much closer. The currently incomplete Greek housing project could be connected to how divided some of the chapters are now, as some Greeks that I’ve talked to personally have expressed. Another way to unify Greek Life is to help each other with philanthropies. Supporting another chapter’s philanthropy, even if you don’t know them, is a great way to build a good reputation. Another idea that I have thought of: why can’t two chapters team up for a double philanthropy event? Two chapters can hold one or two events that go handin-hand with each other and all the funds that are made can get evenly split

up between both chapters. This way, you have two chapters building a relationship with one another, with both of their philanthropies benefiting. Marketing and promotion needs improvement in Greek Life; more specifically, recruitment events. Some chapters’ recruitment events have little to no people show up. This problem is frequently due to events being promoted too little or too last minute. The small chapters, especially, are suffering from this. Each chapter has to maintain a certain number of active members. If the numbers stay too small for long, the chapter has the possibility of getting disbanded. This is not something that I would want to see happen. Chapters should take new approaches to recruiting. Spring semester is more laid back than fall semester for recruitment, but that doesn’t mean that spring semester isn’t important. Yes, more students come in the fall than the spring, but there are still plenty of students who are new to campus in the spring semester. Lots of these new faces may be potential Greek Life members.

Just because it’s spring, doesn’t mean that a chapter should let recruiting fall through the cracks. Chapters could be missing out on some good people, so my advice is to keep spring recruitment strong. One more thing I’d like to point out: even though it’s not technically their job in the spring semester, the University’s Interfraternity Council [IFC] could play more of a part in spring recruitment. This includes, but is not limited to, posting each chapter’s recruitment events on social media and assisting with the promotion of spring recruitment and each chapter’s philanthropy events. It’s also important to note that some chapters decide on their own not to market or participate in things, but I don’t see anything wrong with IFC going an extra mile for the ones who don’t mind the help. Greek Life would definitely be a stronger and more unified community here at the University if some of this happened. This is only my second semester here and I already have this drive to see Greek Life go far. It very well has the potential. I just want to see a close-knit, marvelous, unified Greek community. From all the many Greeks that I know, this is surely a possible thing to achieve. Respond to Torrance at thenews@bgnews.com

I think everyone has those days where they wish they had their act put together as well as their peers did. For me, this feeling has lasted almost three weeks. In a recent conversation with my mother, I told her something I had never said aloud and when the words were finally out, I felt like I had gotten hit by a train. I graduate in two semesters. And this is the goal: to have everything done and in order so I can graduate in May and prove to my psychology teacher from high school that it is, indeed, still possible to graduate from college in four years and not five, like he told me my senior year of high school. But as I thought about how I only have two semesters left, I thought about all the things I need to do that I haven’t done yet. I thought about all the classes I have to take and the two internships I have yet to complete. The lack of my own academic progress got me thinking about some of my peers in the journalism department who have two or three internships under their belt, while I have yet to get one. Thinking of this, on top of the thought of what I’m going to do after I graduate next year, makes me feel highly inadequate. Some of my peers have plans already — they

have ideas to intern at one place, then go to graduate school at another place and it seems like they have it all figured out. And then you have me, who is just kind of coasting, trying to take every day one day at a time in order to prevent the impending doom that is going to be the biggest anxiety attack of my college career. But when I think about it [and I mean when I think rationally and logically about it], I truly believe everything is exactly how it’s supposed to be. Since I don’t have any traveling plans, I’ll be dedicating my time over spring break to making phone calls and applying for internships and a new job. Hopefully my three week slump is coming to an end with the beginning of spring break and I hope any slumps you, the reader, are having are ending, too. But if they are not and if for some reason they carry on through spring break and into the second half of the semester, I encourage you to remind yourself that it is all going to be okay. I encourage you to take every day as it comes — to

I encourage you to plan your days ahead with things that are guaranteed to happen and let the rest of it play out as the days go on. People progress in life differently. It is okay if college takes you an extra year or an extra semester to finish. It is okay to take a semester off to work so you can jump right back into school again when the following semester comes around. Going at your own pace will be more rewarding to you [both mentally, professionally and academically] than trying to keep up with everyone else. Respond to Erika at thenews@bgnews.com

BG hockey team prepares for season finale Locked into WCHA three-seed, Falcons look to end with win on senior night By Corey Krupa Reporter
The 13th ranked BG hockey team will finish the regular season with a series at home against Alabama-Huntsville this weekend. The Falcons are locked into a three-seed for the Western Collegiate Hockey Association tournament, and will host the sixth-seed for a best-of-three playoff series Mar. 13-15. BG will either host Bemidji State, Northern Michigan or Ferris State for that first round series. Currently, Bemidji State is fourth with 27 points, Northern Michigan is fifth with 26 points and Ferris State is sixth with 25 points. BG’s overall record of 19-105 is the program’s best start to a season since 1995-1996. A labama-Huntsv ille enters the series with an 8-22-4 overall record, and 7-18-1 in WCHA play. The Chargers are currently
tied with Lake Superior State for seventh place in the WCHA, and eligible to clinch a conference playoff spot this weekend. Both teams are three points ahead of Alaska-Anchorage for the final playoff spot in the conference. “I want our mindset to be right heading into the playoffs. We’re going to treat it as a playoff weekend as far as the coaching staff goes,” head coach Chris Bergeron said. BG is 11-3-1 all-time against Alabama-Huntsville, including two road victories on the road last October. The Falcons outscored them 9-1 during that series. The Falcons are coming off a weekend against AlaskaAnchorage on the road with a series split. However, BG lost 6-1 on Saturday night. “We’re not going to dwell on it. It was another weekend, we were able to find a way to get two points out of the four,”
Bergeron said. The Falcons have lost four of their last five games, and two of them came via a sweep at home against Northern Michigan. “We haven’t been as consistent as we were in the first half [of the season],” Bergeron said. This Saturday will be senior night and the final regular season game of the season for the Falcons. BG will honor the six seniors on its team. “That’s a special time for our seniors to celebrate their career, but this is business for us. We need to make sure our heads are on right knowing that our opponent’s are going to come in here guns a-blazing,” Bergeron said. The Falcon seniors include Adam Berkle, Dan DeSalvo, Rusty Hafner, Connor Kucera, Ted Pletsch and Mike Sullivan. BG’s games against AlabamaHuntsville on Friday and Saturday night will begin at 7:07 p.m. at the BGSU Ice Arena.
Falcons’ zone defense keeps game close Scoring droughts haunt BG women’s basketball team By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor
Deploying a high-energy zone defense, the Bowling Green women’s basketball team caused Buffalo plenty of fits on Wednesday night. But the Falcons had fits of their own, struggling against the length of Buffalo causing two notable scoring droughts in a loss to Buffalo, 55-47. “We have emphasized in practice, ‘get comfortable being uncomfortable,’” said head coach Jennifer Roos. “Unfortunately we had too many droughts. The first four minutes we didn’t score and the eight-minute mark to the fourminute mark in the second half they went on a 7-2 run and I thought that was the difference in the game.” The Falcons’ first bucket came at 15:16 on a Miriam Justinger 3-pointer. This sparked a 22-16 run to end the half, tied 22-22 at
halftime. Then, from 8:03 to 3:53, the Falcons scored just two Deborah Hoekstra free throws, falling behind 45-38. BG finished with just 47 points, its second lowest total at home this season. Buffalo finished with 55 points, its second lowest point total during a road win this season. “At the end of the day, we were getting exactly what we were looking for, it’s just on us to knock it down,” said Deborah Hoekstra, who finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds. “[We] have to keep on taking them and believe that the next one is going to fall.” The shot weren’t falling, but they were good shots, she said. “If a couple more shots fall, if we shoot 33 percent instead of 31, it’s a last possession game,” Roos said.

BG baseball team to Falcons prepare for long stretch face toughest test yet BG softball team prepares after weekend off
Falcons look to continue hot start, youth surprises By Brandon Shrider Sports Editor
Off to its best start since the 2007 season, the Bowling Green baseball team will face its toughest test to date this weekend. The Falcons [3-3] square off against a near perfect Campbell University [10-2] in a 3-game road series. After starting 3-2, Campbell has won its last seven games, scoring 50 runs in the streak. BG, due to poor weather conditions, has only taken the field for six total games over the first three weeks. Different than recent seasons, this sporadic playing time hasn’t slowed down the Falcons. “We worked hard in the offseason. We started working out at 6 a.m. doing speed and conditioning and I think that built a lot of mental toughness and you can see it through these three weekends,” said sophomore Greg Basalyga, who is tied for first on the team with nine hits. “We wouldn’t have got 30-plus runs in a weekend.” The Falcons have scored 45 runs over their first six games, providing support for the early-season struggles on the mound. BG will need substantial contributions from each phase against the Camels, however. But this will be a valuable series to help the Falcons determine where they are at as a team. “It’s going to be a tough challenge this weekend. We’re going to see where we are as a team,” Basalyga said. “We’re a young team, but it’s going to show us where we’re at. We want to go down there and take another series and accept nothing less, but our motto this year is to always win the next game and the next game is Campbell.”
WOMEN’S From Page 6 Despite the poor shooting, the defense did help keep the Falcons close late into the second half. Using its typical mandefense in the first meeting, BG lost 66-45 at Buffalo on Feb. 7. This time, the Falcons used a 2-3 zone defense which helped keep the score close. “I didn’t think Buffalo would be prepared for us to play 40 minutes of zone coming into it and it disrupted their momentum some,” Roos said. “It was a night-and-day difference from the first and second time playing this team and that’s all you want is growth. We held them to 33 percent [from the field], but [Buffalo] made the plays they needed down the stretch in the last four minutes.” The zone turned Buffalo, shooting 25.2 percent from the arc, into a jump shooting team finishing with 19 3-point attempt, making just three [15.8 percent]. The zone allowed BG to collect its first rebounding win since its last win, against Miami at home on Jan. 24. The Falcons gathered 40 rebounds to
“It’s going to be a great challenge for us and a great measuring stick for this young team,” said head coach Danny Schmitz. An area of concern going into the season, the youth has effectively been a positive for the team, keeping the team relaxed and focused on the basics. “It’s a good vibe [around the team],” said senior Trevor Blaylock. “We’re confident, laid back and we just go out there and play. Up and down the lineup, whatever their role is, they do it.” The new crop of players have played crucial roles in the early success, too. Junior, but first year player, Kory Brown is second on the team hitting .368 while playing a clean centerfield. Randy Righter is right behind Brown hitting .364 including three homeruns and team-leading eight RBIs. “People are stepping up and that’s definitely helping us out,” Blaylock said. The team will need to step up yet again as Campbell is one of the better teams in the nation over the early part of the season. A team ERA of 2.00, batting average of .317 and 37-for-40 on stolen base attempts, the Camels present a challenge in each aspect of the game. While still trying to win, BG will continue to mixand-match lineups in an attempt to get extended looks at an array of players in preparation for the start of the Mid-American Conference season. “Hopefully we see the development starting. This is going to be a great time to get more looks at some of the first year guys,” Schmitz said. “We may cool down. but we’re just keeping the same approach, and if we do, we’ll be a tough team to beat all year,” Basalyga said.

Following a week of cancellations, the Bowling Green softball team will compete in Florida this weekend for the USF Under Armour Invitational. Including games after the invitational, the team will face 11 different opponents over a span of 10 days. “You never want to lose games [to cancellations]. Games are a great place to develop and figure out who you are as a team,” said head coach Shannon Salsburg. “The kids really worked hard though. We’ve had a chance to tweak a couple things offensively and defensively. We had a shift in our defense due to injury, so the break gave us an opportunity to continue to perfect those things. I actually think we’ll be more prepared this weekend than we might have been, had we played.” In the teams opening tournament, freshman Katee Hinkle suffered a fracture to her hand and has been out since then. She will not play in Florida either. Going into this tournament, 60 percent of the Falcon roster is represented by underclassmen. Despite that, the team has played well so far with a 4-4 record. Important returnees for the team are senior Jamie Kertes and junior Braiden Dillow. Both players have already earned MAC Pitcher of the Week hon-
ors in just two weekends of play. “Our chemistry in general has really meshed well and probably faster than most teams which I’ve been really pleased with,” Salsburg said. “The older kids have done a really great job of setting the standard, but there is an appreciation on both sides from the young and the old. It really shows where we are as a team with our chemistry and understanding what it’s going to take to win a championship.” Going into this tournament, the mindset of the team is to test themselves mentally and to continue what they have done so far this season. A completely different team this year, the Falcons believe that they contend for a MAC championship and have shown the weapons necessary early on. In the first eight games of the season the Falcons have scored 22 first inning runs alone and 46 in total. Last year the team scored just 19 total runs in the first eight games and had only one win. “It’s a whole different offense. We’re more mentally ready to hit,” Salsburg said. “If we have a runner at two, we expect to score her. That’s the mindset we have to have and we struggled to have that in the past.” The team will start the tournament against Penn State on Friday and end with SIU-Edwardsville on Sunday. Following that, they will face Penn again on Tuesday for a non-tournament game.

the much taller Bulls’ 38 rebounds. “The 2-3 [zone] did a good job at forcing them to take outside shots, so we knew there were going to be long rebounds, so [we] just [had to] box hard, find anybody to box and grab the rebound,” Hoekstra said. While the zone scheme allowed the Falcons to be in position for a multitude of boards, their resilient effort helped limit extra opportunities for Buffalo. “If you had to grade us on effort, ‘A,’” Roos said. “We outrebounded a taller team.” “What we lack in height we make up for in heart. That’s a testament to the work ethic of everyone on the team,” Hoekstra said. Despite the now 10-game losing streak, the Falcons have not strayed from their hard work and relentless style of play. Throughout this process, the team, especially the young group of players, have made significant strides. “There were times when the freshmen would miss a shot and they wouldn’t shoot again the whole entire game. Now, it’s ‘I’ve got the next one,’ so that’s all you can ask for,” Hoekstra said.

REVIEW
HOUSE From Page 3 that normally accompanies this type of outing just doesn’t happen at their shows. “Being from Cleveland, I was very much involved in the hardcore and punk scene. I can tell you that every show I went to, I saw someone split their face open, someone pick a fight, but we’re not having that here,” Kelly said. “We don’t have the problems that come with a bigger city, but we’re still opening people’s eyes to what’s around them … I’ve been here for over two years now and we’ve only been doing this for a few months, and in that time, this is the most music I’ve seen in Bowling Green.” Kelly did add, however, that they would love to get a larger space so that they could schedule more performers with tighter schedules, rather than those who are free to swing through on a random Saturday. Not to say that they haven’t scheduled at larger venues before. Edwards runs hip-hop acts through Grumpy Dave’s [most recently Kris Lucid, “Gooch,” and Big Smoove, all performers at the show on Saturday] on Thursday nights and even Gruber hosts his own radio show [WBGU 88.1 FM]. But Kelly said they would still like to have a bigger venue to call their own. Despite the need for a larger space, Kelly and Edwards still value the atmosphere of social intimacy that their shows bring, an atmosphere that can’t be mimicked by an ordi-
