SWEET ADDITION Ball State students welcome new midnight-snacking option to the Village: Insomnia Cookies

CHRIS STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER | castephens@bsu.edu

T

he smell of warm, fresh-baked cookies, with flavors like S’mores and Double Chocolate Mint, split the freezing air of the Village Monday as Insomnia Cookies opened for business.

The franchise cookie store, located at several colleges across the Midwest, aims to satisfy students’ sweet cravings and help revitalize the Village as a new addition on University Ave. “Insomnia Cookies will bring new life to Muncie,” said Renee Sarnecky, Insomnia Cookies marketing manager. “Muncie itself is trying to rebuild and we want to be an integral part of that. I’m sure when people are coming to our business instead of heading back to campus, we can help get those other retailers business too.”

After opening at 1 p.m. Monday, Insomnia Cookies sold over 200 cookies by 6 p.m., when deliveries began.

Insomnia Cookies declined to release its opening day sales numbers to the Daily News.

Sarnecky said Muncie and Ball State fit directly into what the company looks for in a location: night owl students with few late-night options.

Senior history and women’s studies major Valerie Sizemore visited the business on opening day and said Insomnia Cookies will bring diversity she thinks the Village needs. “[A late night cookie shop] is a very college-y thing to have,” Sizemore said. “With a delivery service, where else is that going to happen?

You look around – bar, bar, bar – it really opens up the college scene.”

Ball State students reflect on experience of inaugural event | ASSOCIATED PRESS AND DN STAFF WASHINGTON — Declaring “our journey is not complete,” President Barack Obama took the oath of office for his second term before a crowd of hundreds of thousands Monday, including a group of six Ball State students who made the journey for what they call a “once in a lifetime event.”

Erica Walsh, a sophomore economics major and director of communications for University Democrats, said it was “absolutely breathtaking to see President Obama inaugurated for a second term.”

“We were like four or five people behind the barricade for the general population,” Walsh said.

Abby Grim, a senior political science major and general member of University Democrats, also traveled with the group and said being in the crowd was a

magical experience.

“This is something I will probably never get to do again in my life. Seeing someone who I voted for take the oath is amazing,” Grim said.

AP | BRIEF

INDIANA OFFICIALS PLAN TO REWARD EDUCATOR WITH GRANT PROGRAM INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Forty Indiana schools and school districts have been chosen to share $10 million in grants to reward excellent teachers.

The Indiana Department of Education said it’s recommending members the schools and districts to the State Budget Committee to receive Excellence in Performance for Teachers grants. The General Assembly established the grant program in 2011 to help schools recruit and retain good teachers.

The Perry Township School District in Indianapolis was selected for the largest amount, over $921,000.

Also chosen for grants of $500,000 or more were the Fayette County Schools, the Greensburg Community Schools, the Noblesville Community Schools, the Mishawaka-based Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp., the North Montgomery Community Schools and the Zionsville Community Schools.

Most grants are at least $100,000, but a few are less than that.

Thousands rally against stricter gun control in US Advocacy groups peacefully protest new firearm laws | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — Gun advocates — some with rifles slung across shoulders or pistols holstered at the hip — have rallied peacefully in state capitals nationwide against President Barack Obama’s sweeping federal gun-control proposals.

Summoned via social media for the “Guns Across America” event, participants gathered Saturday for protests large and small against stricter limits sought on firearms. Only a few dozen turned out in South Dakota and a few hundred in Boise, Idaho. Some 2,000 turned out in New York and large crowds also rallied in Connecticut, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Washington state.

The rallies came on a day in which accidental shootings at gun shows in North Carolina, Indiana and Ohio left five people hurt. The wounded included two bystanders hit by shotgun pellets after a 12-gauge shotgun discharged at a show in Raleigh, N.C., as the owner unzipped its case for a law officer to check at a security entrance, authorities said. A retired deputy there also suffered a slight hand injury.

About 800 people gathered for the “Guns Across America” event in Austin, Texas, as speakers took to the microphone under a giant Texas flag stamped with one word: “Independent.”

“The thing that so angers

me, and I think so angers you, is that this president is using children as a human shield to advance a very liberal agenda that will do nothing to protect them,” said state Rep. Steve Toth, referencing last month’s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn.

Obama recently announced the gun-control proposals in the wake of a Connecticut elementary school shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six educators last month.

Toth, a first-term Republican lawmaker from The Woodlands outside Houston, has introduced legislation to ban within Texas any future federal limits on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines, though such a measure would violate the U.S. Constitution.

In Arizona, Oregon and Utah, some came with holstered handguns or rifles on their backs.

One man in Phoenix dressed as a Revolutionary War Minuteman, completing his outfit with an antique long rifle and a sign reading: “Tyrants Beware - 1776.”

“We’re out here because this country has some very wise founding fathers and they knew they were being oppressed when they were a British colony,” said Eric Cashman, another man at the Phoenix rally. “Had they not had their firearms ... to stand up against the British, we’d still be a British colony.”

Rallies at statehouses nationwide were organized by Eric Reed, an airline captain from the Houston area who in November started a group called

rallied at the Capitol in St. Paul, Minnesota “More Gun Control (equals) More Crime.” Its Facebook page has been “liked” by more than 19,000 people.

At the New York state Capitol in Albany, about 2,000 people turned out for a chilly rally, where they chanted “We the People,” “USA” and “Freedom.” Many carried American flags and “Don’t Tread On Me” banners. The event took place four days after Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the nation’s toughest assault weapon and magazine restrictions.

In Connecticut, where task forces created by both the

Legislature and Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy are considering changes to gun laws, police said about 1,000 people showed up on the Capitol grounds. One demonstrator at the rally in Maine, Joe Getchell of Pittsfield, said every law-abiding citizen has a right to bear arms.

In Minnesota, where more than 500 people showed up at the Capitol in St. Paul, Republican state Rep. Tony Cornish said he would push to allow teachers to carry guns in school without a principal or superintendent’s approval and to allow 21-year-olds to carry guns on college campuses.

Capitol rallies also took place in Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Vermont and Wisconsin, among other states.

Back in Texas, Houston resident Robert Thompson attended the rally with his wife and children, ages 12, 5 and 4. Many in the family wore T-shirts reading: “The Second Amendment Protects the First.”

“What we are facing now is an assault weapons ban, but if they do this, what will do they do next?” Thompson asked.

“I think it is amazing watching history being made, even if your candidate didn’t win the election. It is still history being made before your own eyes.”

Obama spent his inaugural speech urging the nation to set an unwavering course toward prosperity and freedom for all its citizens and protect the social safety net that has sheltered the poor, elderly and needy.

“Our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it,” Obama said in his relatively brief, 18-minute address. “We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class,” he added, echoing his calls from the presidential campaign that catapulted him to re-election.

The president declared that a decade of war is ending, as is the economic recession.

The inaugural fanfare spread across the capital Monday, including a traditional lunch with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. From the Capitol, the president and first lady Michelle Obama climbed into the black armored limousine that ferried them past cheering crowds lining Pennsylvania Ave. for the inaugural parade.

Before diving into the afternoon celebrations, Obama previewed an ambitious second-term agenda, devoting several sentences in his address to the threat of global climate change and saying that failure to confront it “would betray our children and future generations.”

In an era of looming budget cuts, he said the nation has a commitment to costly programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

“These things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen

us,” he said.

Sandwiched between the bruising presidential campaign and relentless fiscal fights, Monday’s inaugural celebrations marked a brief respite from the partisan gridlock that has consumed the past two years. Perhaps seeking a fresh start, Obama invited several lawmakers to the White House for coffee before his speech, including the Republican leaders with whom he has frequently been at odds.

Among them was the Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

In a statement following Obama’s swearing-in, McConnell said the president’s second term represents “a fresh start when it comes to dealing with the great challenges of our day.”

Looking ahead to those challenges, Obama implored Congress to find common ground over the next four years. And seeking to build on the public support that catapulted him to the White House twice, the president said the public has “the obligation to shape the debates of our time.”

“Not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals,” Obama said.

Moments earlier, Obama placed his hand on two Bibles — one used by King and the other by Abraham Lincoln — and recited the brief oath of office. Michelle Obama held the Bibles, one on top of the other, as daughters Malia and Sasha looked on.

Vice President Joe Biden was also sworn in for his second term as the nation’s second-in-command.

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, several Cabinet secretaries and dozens of lawmakers were on hand to bear witness to history.

A DAY TO SERVE

Students volunteer for Second Harvest Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Boys and Girls Club through SVS annual Day of Service JEREMY ERVIN AND RYAN HOWE | features@bsudailynews.com

S

henikiqua Bridges stood pulling potatoes out of black crates in a warehouse. She examined each potato as she pulled them from the crates. She tossed bad potatoes in the gray tub sitting in the middle of the warehouse and bagged the edible ones in plastic grocery bags.

The senior legal studies major was only one of two dozen students volunteering their day off to the Second Harvest Food Bank.

As part of the national King Day of Service, the Student Voluntary Services sent students to three different volunteer programs in Delaware County, including the Second Harvest Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity and the Boys and Girls Club.

“Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is a national day of service; it’s supposed to be a day where you go out and give back,” said Kim Hoffman, a graduate assistant of SVS. SVS participates in the national Day of Service every year.

SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK

This wasn’t Bridges’ first time sorting through potatoes at Second Harvest Food Bank.

“I wanted to do something for Martin Luther King Jr. Day instead of just being lazy and sitting at home,” Bridges said. She was joined by others members of her service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega.

The Second Harvest Food Bank supplies fresh produce to 110 food pantries and soup kitchens in eight different counties.

“Last year we had 23,000 hours of volunteerism; without them, we would not be able to run the food bank,” said Joe Fox, recruitment and volunteer director. “The amount of volunteers we get from Ball State every year is wonderful, absolutely wonderful.”

Tori Raderstorf, a sophomore hospitality and food management major, also volunteered her morning to sorting through potatoes with some friends from her sorority, Epsilon Sigma Alpha.

“It might seem like a simple, mundane task, separating these potatoes, but we really are contributing to something much bigger,” Raderstorf said. “I’d rather be spending my morning here than sleeping in.”

Sophomore architecture major Kelsi Stephens knocks down the plaster off a wall as part of renovations for a Habitat for Humanity initiative on Jan. 21. The local branch has formed a partnership with Ball State to offer an imersive learning opportunity for construction management, interior design and architecture majors.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

Caroline Lawson, a sophomore architecture major, and her friends took turns swinging a sledgehammer into the pink plaster walls of a Habitat for Humanity home in downtown Muncie. The ground was layered with a hash of wood and paint chips.

“We’re out here because we want to do community service,” she said.

“We’re architecture majors, and we also want to represent our sorority [Alpha Gamma Delta].”

Habitat for Humanity is a philanthropic organization that provides qualifying families the opportunity to own a home they can afford with at a zero interest rate. The money paid by the recipients of the home, known as partner families, goes to start new projects.

The organization doesn’t exclusively build new homes, it re-builds and renovates low value or otherwise uninhabitable properties. The project for the Day of Service was one such renovation.

The volunteers were divided into two groups. The first group broke down the old walls so that it could be replaced by modern drywall. The second dug scrap metal, the remnants of a heating system, from the basement.

“This is a celebration of what Martin Luther King did,” said Aaron Daeger, a computer technology major, after hefting a length of ductwork up the stairs. “Habitat is a great organi-

zation to work with.”

The home the volunteers worked on was for Lilita Jackson. In accordance with Habitat for Humanity policy, every adult in a partner family must complete 250 volunteer hours for the charity called “sweat hours.”

“I cook lunch, help put up siding, put up a shed and worked in the office,” said Jackson, a 22-year-old mother. “I’m really looking forward to not having to rent anywhere and having a stable place to live with my kids for years.”

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB

At the Delaware County Boys and Girls Club, a lone boy pushed the “seven” ball across the pool table with a cue longer than he was tall.

Yolanda Bonner, program director at the Boys and Girls Club, put her hand on his shoulder, urging him back into the cafeteria.

“Go on, your brother is in there,” she said.

The Delaware County Boys and Girls Club is a second home for children in preschool through high school. The South Madison Street office boasts amenities such as a computer lab, full gymnasium, TVs and a functioning kitchen.

The facility was decorated in preparation for SVS’s program on Martin Luther King Jr. and his values. One room features a mock-up of King’s Birmingham jail cell, complete with a cardboard cutout of King, a posted sign with visited hours and a letter

Student volunteers demolish a wall Monday morning with Habitat for Humanity. Student Voluntary Services worked with Habitat for Humanity, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Muncie Boys and Girls Club for their annual Day of Service.

King wrote from prison on his desk.

Volunteers split the students into groups and moved them through stations every 15 minutes. Children created “freedom bells” out of cups and pipe cleaner, illustrated what they perceived peace to look like and explored how to promote peace in both their communities and the world.

“We have six different ideas that we want to present: freedom, peace, education, community service, equality and dreams,” said senior biology major Orlando Acevedo. “We really want to get the kids thinking

Students, faculty march for MLK Marchers kick off annual Unity Week with honor event RACHEL PODNER CHIEF REPORTER | rmpodnar@bsu.edu To commemorate the spirit of Civil Rights marches, a large group of students braved the frigid temperatures to march down McKinley Ave. for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. About 60 people joined in the MLK Unity March, hosted by the NAACP student chapter, Ball State Multicultural Center and Muncie MLK Planning Committee. The march was part of the kick off for Unity Week, an annual week of events hosted by multicultural student organizations since 1980.

The group marched from the Multicultural Center, down McKinley, which was blocked off for the march, turning around at the Scramble Light and heading back. The group cheered and sang songs including “Amazing Grace”, despite the cold weather.

Assistant director of student life Barry Hawkins said this year’s annual march was a success and he looks forward to the rest of Unity Week. “[Events like this march] promote unity and bring the campus together,” Hawkins said.

“They unite us behind a positive cause. It’s been phenomenal.”

Multicultural center graduate assistant Kyle Hayes said the Unity March honors MLK and his legacy.

“It’s a great way to show support for MLK day, it builds com-

about those ideas early on.”

The club’s extensive Martin Luther King Jr. Day festivities were spearheaded by Bonner, who has been program director for less than two years.

She said she was inspired by a quote by King: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

Unity week began Monday morning with the MLK breakfast held in Cardinal Hall.

Hawkins said it was the most successful breakfast yet, with nearly 400 attendees. Afterwards, students had the opportunity to work on their résumés and connect with potential job placement.

Monday night, a service was held at Christ Temple Global Ministries to commemorate MLK and end the first day of Unity Week activities.

Senior family studies major Kaylyn Gyden attended the march as a representative for the NAACP student chapter.

“Knowing the history of the marches and the sit-ins and having the opportunity to do so in 2013, why not [participate today],” Gyden said.

“They did it for us, we all know the importance of walking.”

Music echoed through Muncie Mall Saturday night as the Larry McWilliams group played live for dancers of all ages.

The Muncie Symphony Orchestra’s event, “Dance, Dance, Dance!” brought together Ball State’s Ballroom Dance League, the Holiday Dinner & Dance Club, Five Star Dance Studios and professional dancer and choreographer Ya’akov Eden in order to raise money for the MSO’s main season.

Each group did a short demo before opening up the floor to any dancers. Participants ranged from small children and their parents to students to older couples.

A crowd of 50 filled seats and stood against the walls watching until their turn to dance.

Jeff and Cindy Garretson have been dancing together for 11 years and are part of the Holiday Dinner & Dance Club.

“It’s hard to be in a bad mood when dancing,” Cindy said.

The Garretsons said the number of young people at the event surprised them. They were used to being the “young people,” they said.

Junior public relations major Vance Yount said he is used to having college-aged people

dancing because he is part of the university’s Ballroom Dance League.

“I am surprised about the turnout,” Yount said. “We always have such a small group, so I am pleasantly surprised.”

Yount was also excited to see Eden, an emeritus professor and the retired adviser of the Ballroom Dance League.

“I think this is great,” Eden said. “[Dancing] is so simple and enjoyable to people in general.”

Public safety officer Scott Smith stopped by during his shift in order to watch the dancers.

“I love seeing the parents out there with their kids,” Smith said.

“This reaches the community a lot more than some of the other events here. There are a lot of different cultures here.”

ATARI US FILES FOR CH. 11 BANKRUPTCY

Technology pioneer hopes to separate from ruling company | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Video game maker Atari’s U.S. operations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in an effort to separate from their French parent company, which is filing a similar motion separately in France.

In a statement, Atari said the

move is necessary to secure investments it needs to grow in mobile and downloadable video games.

Atari’s U.S. operations have shifted to focus on digital games and licensing, including developing mobile games, and have become a growth engine for its owner. France’s Infogrames Entertainment first took a stake in Atari in 2000. It acquired the remaining stake in 2008 and changed its name to Atari S.A. But the U.S. operations have been better performing than

the rest of the company. In fiscal 2012 digital and licensing revenue both grew significantly and contributed 70 percent of revenue.

In December, Atari S.A. said a credit agreement it entered into with investor BlueBay — its main shareholder and only lender — would lapse at the end of the year and the company was seeking other ways to raise money.

On Monday, Atari S.A. said it and its European operations would file related bankruptcy procedures in France at the

same time as the U.S. bankruptcy filing.

Creditors include accounting firm Deloitte & Touche, and retail stores Kmart and Wal-Mart Stores, although none are owed more than $250,000. BlueBay is not listed as one of the U.S. operations’ creditors.

Atari was a video game pioneer with games like “Pong� and “Centipede.�

Atari said it expects to sell its assets or confirm a restructuring plan within the next three to six months.

DN|BRIEF

WRITER TO SPEAK DURING UNITY WEEK

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Eugene Robinson will speak tonight with a heavy emphasis on race relations and diversity, according to the Multicultural Center.

Robinson, author of “Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America�, a book which, according to its review in The New York Times, demonstrates that the idealized version of the black community no longer exists.

Robinson argues that the black community has splintered into four distinct groups that have little in common and even less cross identity.

He was born in the still-segregated south and grew up during civil rights movement. As a black student, he attended a predominantly white high school, according to the Multicultural Center.

Robinson will speak to the progress African-Americans have made, so much to the point it has made the conventional education on race pointless.

This free program will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Pruis Hall. – CHRIS STEPHENS

INSOMNIA: Company hopes to connect with campus organizations, sports teams

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Junior marketing major Will Jervis believes Insomnia Cookies will supplement the other late night delivery businesses in the Village. “I think it is a really good addition,� Jervis said. “It is a great complement to businesses like

Jimmy John’s. I can get Jimmy John’s delivered for six bucks or whatever and get cookies as well.�

Sarnecky said the company expects to receive the same amount of business in the Village as their other locations.

Much of that will come through deliveries, which she said are usually the backbone of

the business.

Most Insomnia Cookies locations, including all three in Indiana, are located within close proximity to universities. Sarnecky said this is because the company believes in becoming a partner with the community, and working with a university helps to achieve that goal.

Don’t forget your friend’s birthday!

“We do a lot of cookie donation events. We like to be really tied to the campus,� Sarnecky said. “We also do donation days. [Insomnia Cookies and the organization] mutually pick a day, [send out emails] to promote it [and] then a portion of the proceeds go to the organization.�

Sarnecky is meeting with

other university groups later this week with what she calls a “huge outreach campaign� to let them know of Insomnia Cookie’s charitable donations, including the Ball State athletic department.

Sarnecky also said they are always accepting applications to work inside the store, which will eventually have

between 10 and 15 employees at maximum capacity.

But for college students like senior technology Andrea Huckleby, the best feature of Insomnia Cookies will come with its late-night delivery service, which runs until 3 a.m. all week. “Just sometimes you got a craving,� Huckleby said.

BSU responds with Monday win After split results over weekend, team pushing to improve MAT MIKESELL SPORTS EDITOR

| @MatMikesell Though her team may have split the pair of weekend meets against Eastern Michigan and Illinois State, Ball State coach Kristy Castillo wasn’t worried with how her team was competing.

The women’s swimming and diving team fell Saturday morning to its Mid-American Conference foe Eastern Michigan 158-142. The two teams traded the lead several times before Eastern Michigan was able to pull off the win.

“I was pleased with the [Eastern Michigan] meet,” Castillo said. “They definitely showed more life in their events. We had a ton of season-bests. We came on even stronger than we did in our first week back from training.”

Ball State opened the meet against Eastern Michigan

winning four of the first five events. Haley Richter won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:52.26, a personal best. Katelyn Pratt followed with a win in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 0:57.66, a season-best.

Bridgette Ruehl posted a season-best time of 1:03.76 to get a win in the 100-yard breaststroke.

“It’s disappointing not to get the win,” Castillo said.

“But the way the swam, it’s a win in my mind. There were a lot of close races. The score doesn’t show it, but in my mind it was a win.”

The team had one day of rest to put behind the Eastern Michigan meet and prepare for Illinois State. The Cardinals responded well, winning the meet comfortably 173-127.

Again, Ball State started off the meet well by winning four of the first five events. The 400-yard medley relay team of Pratt, Ruehl, Richter and Carlena Magley took the first event with a season-best time of 3:52.28. Emily Wisolek

Cards earn sweep on East Coast

Two big road wins have team on best start since 2006

EVAN BARNUM-STEGGERDA CHIEF REPORTER @Slice_of_Evan

Within 24 hours the Ball State men’s volleyball team won six out of eight sets, completed its East Coast sweep and brought its overall record to 3-0.

Winning both matches 3-1, Ball State beat New Jersey Institute of Technology (1-2) on Friday and Sacred Heart (0-3).

After a 10-and-a-half-hour bus ride Thursday, the Cardinals defeated the Highlanders 29-27, 28-26, 20-25 and 25-16 on Friday. The third set loss was the first set the Cardinals have dropped this season.

Senior outside hitter Greg Herceg paced the Cardinals, as he did in their first match, with a match-leading 20 kills. Herceg added two service aces and seven digs to round out another impressive night. Coach Joel Walton attributes Herceg’s success to meeting opportunities that are afforded to him.

“Our setters are starting to give him confident and consistent sets,” Walton said. “Then Greg [Herceg] has been able to take advantage of teams gambling towards the middle to stop our middles.”

Defensively the Cardinals held the Highlanders to a 9 percent hitting percentage, and did not

WOMEN’S TENNIS

allow a single Highlander to connect on double digit kills.

In the initial game plan, Walton said the team would need to have well-formed blocking sets to stop the various attacks the Highlanders are capable of throwing out.

“On tape we saw that they like to hit a lot of tip and roll shots,” Walton said. “I thought our guys did a great job of taking those away.”

After the match that saw two overtime sets, the team was rewarded with a trip to its favorite East Coast eatery, Tops Diner.

The next day the team took the hour-and-a-half bus ride to Fairfield, Conn. to take on Sacred Heart.

In their match against the Pioneers, the Cardinals saw the majority of their points come from their middle attackers Matt Leske and Kevin Owens, who had seven and eight kills respectively. Owens’ eight kills led the team, showing more parity in scoring than the Cardinals have seen early this season.

The middles for Ball State also came up big on defense, with two solo blocks and a matchhigh eight assisted blocks for Leske and a match-high three solo blocks and six assisted blocks for Owens, to go along with the team’s 19.5 blocks.

“I thought our offense was a little inconsistent, but our middles played well,” Walton said.

“Not just on offense, but especially on defense.”

The team fell just short, losing 4-3 to the Fighting Illini. With the narrow defeat, Ball State falls to 0-2 for the season.

Senior Cliff Morrison and sophomore Patrick Elliott defeated the pairing of Brian Page and Jared Hiltzik 8-3.

Elliott won in a three-set match over Brian Page of Illinois 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (9-7). Morrison, junior Austin Smith and Arconada were all defeated in two sets.
