Ball State rallies in second half to beat Northern Iowa at home MATT McKINNEY ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR | @Matt_D_McKinney Down by just one point to Northern Iowa in the second round of the WNIT with 30 seconds left, Ball State’s Nathalie Fontaine had a look at the basket near the free-throw line. The play before, she drained a jumper from the same spot. Northern Iowa brought two defenders to double team the freshman. Because of the double team, Brittany Carter was wide open for an easy jumper near the right baseline. Fontaine saw her and dumped it off to Carter. Carter rose up and drained the game-winner. Ball State took the win, 53-49. “[Got to] let it fly at that point,” Carter said of the shot. “Wide open. Great pass from Nat, just finished it.” Ball State coach Brady Sallee offered more insight on the last offensive play of the game for Ball State. “The play we ran, we put it in yesterday,” Sallee said. “We called it against a defense we saw on film. We executed it to perfection. We always preach that we make one extra pass for a great shot. Nathalie made it, Brittany hit it.”

The Ball State Cycling team won back its overall winner title for the 24-mile Cardinal Relay race at the McKinley Mile on Saturday, after losing last year. The event, hosted by Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, nearly doubled its profit from last year, raising more than $3,600 for the Youth Opportunity Center. Evan Heintz, event chairman for Lambda Chi, said the Youth Opportunity center helps at-risk youth who are court ordered juveniles through education. The money raised will go toward programs and activities. “In previous years we went with the Cardinal

Ball State offense led by Godfrey Junior sparks Cards despite losing 2 games against Zips DAVID POLASKI STAFF REPORTER | @DavidPolaski Ball State’s offense struggled over the weekend in its 2-1 series loss to Akron. The team scored just nine runs in those three games, failing to capitalize when they put runners in scoring position. Without Sean Godfrey’s offensive input, the numbers would have been even worse. Godfrey played a role in five of the nine runs for Ball State, including both runs they scored in the 2-1 win on Friday. After hitting a home run in the bottom of the fourth inning, he hit the game winning single over the center fielders’ head, allowing Blake Beemer to score to end the game in the tenth. “It was pretty exciting to get that hit and know I pulled out a win in our first game,” Godfrey said. “We were just going out there and trying to put another run on the board so
we could end the game.” He could have had another home run that game, but Akron’s right fielder stole it in the bottom of the first, plucking the ball away over the right field fence just before it could make it over. The team hit just .285 during the series, but Godfrey batted .428, the best on the team. It raised his overall batting average over the season to .314, and it isn’t like that number is inflated because he’s had a low number of at-bats. Godfrey leads the team with the most at-bats with 86. He led Ball State in batting average last year, posting a .328, although it was with just 131 at-bats, a number he’s on pace to shatter this season. One of the most consistent hitters for the Cardinals, Godfrey key hits kept the team within striking distance of the Zips all weekend, even though the final two games ended up as losses. In the bottom of the seventh in game three, Godfrey singled to bring in Wes Winkle and tie the game at three. Two innings later, trailing 4-3, he hit a leadoff single and stole

Katie Murphy started Ball State off with a layup off Woody’s entry pass. Northern Iowa then jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first half, but Ball State’s offense eventually caught up to its defense. Carter hit a 3-pointer six in-game minutes after Murphy’s layup. At the 12:14 mark of the second half, Murphy fell down on defense and came up limping. Ball State gave up a quick layup because of it. Sallee called a timeout and Murphy limped back to the locker room. However, she returned to the game a few minutes later. After Carter’s go-ahead bucket late in the game, Kalin missed a 3-pointer to tie. Carter and Fontaine hit free throws to seal the game for Ball State. With the win, Ball State advances to the Sweet 16 of the WNIT, the first time any women’s basketball team from Ball State has done so. Ball State doesn’t know yet who it will play next. It will face the winner of Monday’s game between Kansas State and Illinois State.
MATT McKINNEY ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @Matt_D_ McKinney
For the second game in a row, Brandy Woody was charged with defending the opposing team’s best player. On Friday, she held Minnesota’s Rachel Banham, the Big Ten’s leading scorer, to just 12 points off 5-of-21 from the field. Sunday, she held Northern Iowa senior Jacqui Kalin to just 13 points off 4-of-15 shooting in a 53-48 Ball State win. Kalin went into the game averaging 19.7 points per game.
At halftime, she had just three points. Woody was tasked with defending her throughout the game, and she didn’t disappoint. Woody constantly chased Kalin under and over off-ball screens intended to open up space for Kalin. While other Ball State defenders would occasionally leave their assignments to help a driving Northern Iowa player, Woody would stay at home, right next to Kalin. In the second half, the Northern Iowa star scored 10 points, most coming off a pair of wide open 3-pointers she hit early in the second half after Woody failed to break through the screens. “I know I broke down a couple times and gave her a
couple open looks, but knowing I’m guarding their best player definitely puts a little spark on me,” Woody said. In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Ball State scored just 14 points, but also gave up just 14 points. Woody said the key to weathering lack of offense for Ball State is keeping focused defensively. “We just did it with our defense,” Woody said. “That’s what we’ve done all year.” Carter, who joked after the game that the offense is “her end,” offered her insight into what the team does during slumps. “When we’re not hitting those outside shots, we really have to attack more,” Carter said.
right fielder played. He said Godfrey is a big time player and he showed up when the team needed him most all weekend.
After committing an error during game two, he didn’t allow it to affect the rest of his game. He didn’t commit another error for the rest of the series. He attributed the stability in his game to the focus he says he has during every play. Not trying to look back or ahead, Godfrey only pays attention to the matter at hand, keeping himself from becoming distracted from other events that occurred. Maloney said his right fielder stood out over the series and showed the ability to step up his game for conference play. “Sean Godfrey was tremendous for us all weekend, he was truly great,” Maloney said. “His star was shining this weekend.”

Intraparty tax battle boils over Republicans, Pence disagree about cuts proposed in state | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MCT PHOTO
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks to the press about the administration’s proposal to reduce gun violence after meeting with Vice President Joe Biden at the White House on Feb. 27. Bloomberg’s latest push for gun legislation with Mayors Against Illegal Guns has published two ads backing tighter background checks.
NYC mayor to support $12M gun control ads
Prominent leader hopes to advertise in pro-gun states | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced a new $12 million television ad campaign that will push senators in key states to back gun control efforts, including comprehensive background checks. Bloomberg, one of the most prominent gun control proponents in the country, announced the ad campaign by Mayors Against Illegal Guns on Saturday — just days after Senate Democrats touted stronger background checks while acknowledging insufficient support to a ban assault-style weapons. “These ads bring the voices of Americans — who overwhelmingly support comprehensive and enforceable background checks — into the discussion to move senators to immediately take action to prevent gun violence,” Bloomberg said in a statement issued by Mayors
Against Illegal Guns, the group he co-founded in 2006 and that now has more than 800 mayors from around the U.S. President Barack Obama vowed to push for tighter gun controls laws in the wake of the December massacre of 20 young children at a Connecticut elementary school, by a shooter using a military-style assault rifle. Most congressional Republicans, some Democrats and a deep-pocketed pro-gun lobby remain opposed stricter gun laws. Many Americans see gun ownership as a legitimate option for self-defense and a basic right enshrined in by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Some of those promoting stricter laws have taken care to show that they are not challenging the right of citizens to own guns. In two ads posted on website of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a gun owner holds a rifle while sitting on the back of a pickup truck. In one ad, the man says he’ll defend the Second Amendment but adds “with rights come responsibilities.” The ad then
urges viewers to tell Congress to support background checks. In the other ad, the man, a hunter, says “background checks have nothing to do with taking guns away from anyone.” The man then says closing loopholes will stop criminals and the mentally ill from obtaining weapons. The Senate is scheduled to debate federal gun control legislation next month after returning from the Easter Recess. On Thursday, the group plans for more than 100 events nationwide in support of passing gun control legislation that includes background checks. Mayors Against Illegal Guns and other gun-control advocates frequently cite a mid1990s study that suggested about 40 percent of U.S. gun transfers were conducted by private sellers not subject to federal background checks. Based on 2011 FBI data, the group estimates 6.6 million firearms transfers are made without a background check for the receiver. A spokesman for Bloomberg could not immediately say if the $12 million was coming

states that are divided over gun control will air ads from Bloomberg or the mayor’s political action Committee, Independence USA. The New York Times, which first reported the ad campaign Saturday night, said Bloomberg was bankrolling the ad buy. A spokesman for the National Rifle Association blasted Bloomberg and the new ads, saying NRA members and supporters would be calling senators directly and urging them to vote against proposed gun control legislation.
INDIANAPOLIS — Republicans typically invoke Ronald Reagan’s “11th Commandment” when they’re fighting within the family, and there’s been plenty of infighting recently over Gov. Mike Pence’s tax cut at the Statehouse. Reagan made famous the rule that no Republican shall speak ill of a fellow party member. Pence invoked it at the Marion County Reagan Day Dinner last week as he looked down from the stage at his sharpest critic of late, House Speaker Brian Bosma, and asked Republicans to cool their heels. That Bosma and Pence can’t agree on the governor’s proposal to cut the personal income tax 10 percent is hardly news. Bosma threw cold water on the idea one month before Pence was elected governor and has done everything he can to dissuade Pence since then, including passing a $30 billion budget that doesn’t include the cut. Pence has refused to consider any alternative to his cut and has conducted a statewide campaign asking residents to press lawmakers to support it. A concurrent ad campaign launched by tea partyers Americans for
AP|BRIEF
Prosperity against House Republicans has only angered Bosma and other Republican lawmakers. But throughout the battle, the two Republican leaders had been cordial, if a bit coy, in public. That changed last week after some tense moments involving the two at the Indianapolis fundraiser. Pence spent much of his 20-minute speech pitching his tax cut with the same lines he’s used at other fundraisers throughout the state. But his applause lines raised only modest support throughout the room. Bosma clapped lightly, while the guests at his table held their applause. So Pence added the “11th Commandment” to the end of his pitch. “As we work through these challenging issues at the Statehouse, wherever you are on this issue, if you’re ‘fer it’ or you’re ‘agin it,’ or if you’re somewhere in between, let me say from my heart, especially to my friends and allies, near and far: We will not build up our state by tearing each other down. It is essential that we stay positive in advocating our positions.” Bosma walked on stage a few minutes later, after Pence had left, and hit back with a zinger: “I would have said this with the governor here still: I was going to start off with saying ‘I’m from Americans for Prosperity and I’m just here to help.’”
PENN. MAN WOUNDS WIFE, KILLS SON
PETERSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania father shot and killed his 2-year-old son and wounded his estranged wife during a custody exchange before killing himself, authorities said. Police said Kenneth Ayers also shot at his mother during the altercation Saturday morning at her home in a rural area about 20 miles southwest of State College. Huntingdon County District Attorney George Zanic said Ayers, 52, was subject to a protection from abuse order filed by his wife but was permitted visits with his son, Michael. Saturday’s visit was to happen at his mother’s home in Barree Township. But once at the home, Ayers got into an altercation with his estranged wife, Hollie Jo, and shot her in the legs and arm with a .40 caliber handgun before intentionally shooting his son, police said. Kenneth Ayers placed the child’s body in the back of his vehicle but the wounded woman retrieved the body before Ayers shot her again in the face, police said. He also fired at his mother but missed. “Words can’t describe the scene ... heartbreaking,” Zanic told The [Altoona] Mirror outside the home. Kenneth Ayers’ body was found several hours later in his parked truck in a wooded area in Warriors Mark Township. Hollie Jo Ayers was transported to a hospital and expected to survive, according to police. State police Cpl. Daniel Sneath said investigators are trying to determine what led to the shooting and why Ayers was carrying a gun despite the protection order.
Midwest sees winter weather in spring Forecasters predict drifts could reach up to 3 feet in parts | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Few signs of spring are being found in parts of the Midwest as a snowstorm tracks mostly along Interstate 70, bringing heavy snow and high winds. The National Weather Service said parts of Colorado and northwest Kansas saw 10 to 15 inches of snow Saturday, and southwestern Nebraska had up to 7 inches. Winds gusting at speeds of up to 45 mph created snow drifts of 2 to 3 feet in the three states, said Ryan Husted, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Goodland, Kan. “We have pretty much
cleared out. Sunny skies. It’s starting to melt a little bit,” Husted said Sunday. Points eastward weren’t as lucky as the system moved on. Winter storm warnings and advisories have been issued for Sunday and today as far east as Pennsylvania. The storm dumped 7 to 9 inches of snow from eastern Kansas into central Missouri before tapering off Sunday morning, said Dan Hawblitzel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in suburban Kansas City. In the midMissouri town of Columbia, TV station KOMU was briefly evacuated Sunday morning because of high winds and a heavy buildup of snow on the broadcast tower next to the building. But there was no cause for college basketball fans in Kansas City to be concerned, as the snow didn’t affect the NCAA

MARINE SHOOTING VICTIM WAS ‘GOOFY’ WAHLS: Organizers hope Loved ones describe Jacob Wooley as nice, churchgoing | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CORINTH, Miss. — A Marine who was shot to death at a Virginia base was described as a warm-hearted country boy from the South who grew up in the Pentecostal church and even preached a few times. Jacob Wooley, 23, of Mississippi, was killed on Thursday by Sgt. Eusebio Lopez at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in northern Virginia, military
officials said. Lopez also shot 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Sara Castromata to death before he killed himself. The three worked at a school that tests Marines who want to become officers, but officials have not released their relationship or a motive for the shooting. Their bodies were found in the Taylor Hall barracks, where those who work at the school live. Tiffany Wood said she met Wooley when they were teens. “I’m just so confused. Jacob had no enemies. He was such a sweetheart,” she said. Wood said they went to the same schools in the small
town of Corinth, in northeast Mississippi near the Tennessee state line. “He was real goofy, too, like he always wanted everybody to smile. If he could lighten a situation he would,” she said. “You couldn’t stay mad at him. He would say something to make you laugh or make you grin.” Before joining the Marines, he had preached a few times at Central Pentecostal Church, she said. “He just had a real big heart. He would help anybody that he could.” Wooley was a field radio operator. He worked at the school, which is known for its grueling 10-week program

Now after writing a book, Wahls speaks at many different schools. He spoke at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis last semester. “I want people to know that regardless of where they stand on this issue that there is something here for them,” Isaacs said. “I think people, just from a public speaking point of view, are really going to appreciate his style. I think they can also expect a passionate message. Zach speaks from a personal place with his experience with
his family.” Isaacs said students will be able to relate to Wahls. “He is [21] years old,” Isaacs said. “He was only 19 when he decided to speak to the Iowa House of Representatives. A college student can make a difference, right now, today. I want students to know that they have that in them themselves and that they are encouraged to find it.” Wahls will have dinner before the presentation with students from Spectrum, Housing and Residence Life and the SafeZone project.

way through the streets last year, but with a high of 40 degrees once the sun set, most of this year’s crowds were in the bars or circled around the outdoor space heaters. But despite the weather, Cheryl Crowder, Muncie Downtown Development event director, said she was pleased with the event. The new additions were a success with a consistent line at zipline throughout the night, she said. “We always look for different things to keep it fresh,� Crowder said. Although she doesn’t know yet what changes she’ll make
for next year’s celebration, she knows one thing she doesn’t want returning. “We could do without the threat of a snow storm the day it’s happening,� Crowder said. Those who did attend made the most of the night. If there was one place that successfully captured the raucous nature of a New Orleans Mardi Gras, it was Columbia Theatre. Patrons took advantage of the indoors for warmth — and the wet T-shirt contest. Nearing 11 p.m., four women made their way to the stage, collecting the nearly see-through white Budweiser T-shirts that DJ Dimitry handed them. “Yes, you must wear the Tshirts, and no, we do not have dressing rooms,� he announced through a microphone to a cheering crowd. For photojournalism and creative writing major Camille Germain, entering the contest began as a joke between friends. But she eventually found herself onstage getting drenched with the rest of the women. “I guess I have good [boobs],� she said laughing, referring to why she moved on to the next round. While all shirts stayed on dur-

ing the first round, the same couldn’t be said for the second and final rounds at midnight and 1 a.m., respectively. Phones popped up to snap photos as contestant after contestant flashed the crowd, hoping to win the $100 prize. Not everyone partook in the debauchery of the night. Despite chants from the crowd to show her breasts, Alyssa Haller kept it clean on the mechanical bull.
“I told my friends I would ride the bull,� the senior speech pathology major said laughing. “But I’m not showing my [boobs].� Haller said riding the bull at Muncie Gras was just one of the things she had to do before graduating. “It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to hold on,� she said. Although Haller didn’t give in to the crowd’s chants, the
same couldn’t be said for the next girl, as she lifted her shirt, earning several bead necklaces from onlookers. While Muncie Gras had its fair share of debauchery — wet Tshirt contest, lap dances from male strippers, plenty of booze — it also provided a clean dose of fun. An elderly Jean Filson danced in the street with the Pork and Beans Brass Band, a six-person band of drums and brass instruments. She was decked from head-to-toe in her traditional Mardi Gras get up: a purple robe, pink feather boa, sparkly purple mask and purple and pink dye in her white hair. “We’re partners in crime,� said her friend Jack Baker, equally as decked out in costume wearing a yellow coat with fringe. “No, we’re partners in fun,� Filson replied. Although Filson was originally from Muncie, the pair now travel every year from Ridgeville, Ind., to partake in the festivities. Baker was even at the first Muncie Gras 12 years ago. Was it any different then? “Nope, like this,� Baker said. “But smaller.�

The year begins with communications, invitations and opportunities to participate. Pace yourself, and use the energy to forward a dream. Around summer, the focus shifts to domestic activities, with family comfort a priority. For satisfaction, serve others. Budget, save, pay debt and reduce clutter. Listen to intuition.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9 -- The competition is fierce, but you can handle it.You’ll feel better as feelings and logic align. Travel is now an emotional experience. Don’t touch your savings.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is an 8 -There’s less than you thought, but the opportunities for more are wide open. Ignore a rude remark, or anything that distracts from your commitments. There’s plenty of work to do. Dive into it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7 -- Listen to a roommate carefully and without losing your temper. There’s gold to be found in those words. Remember your manners. Being silent can be fine. Respond later. Imagine your home filled with harmony.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 -- Explore new boundaries in places where you didn’t think to look before. Take the time to get your ideas across. What you’re learning clashes with your old routine. Find quiet.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6 -- Stay outside of the controversy; you have bigger and better things to worry about. If you really think it will make a difference, wait a while. Anticipate criticism. Otherwise, keep to your commitments.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8 -- Read emails and respond to phone messages to avoid a misunderstanding. Make new friends on social media, but don’t believe everything you see. Stay cautious in the digital world. Check your privacy settings.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8 -- It’s a big mistake to think you’re the smartest. That’s irrelevant, anyway. There’s still work to be done. Dedication is part of the solution. Horses may be part of the picture. Get out of the clouds and ride.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 7 -Listen. What you learn today helps you in the long run. Put your confidence and power behind a great cause. Don’t throw your money around, though; not even for love. Give your heart instead.

MILE: Participants enjoyed training, local competition | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Eleven teams were registered for the Cardinal Relay, including a team of alumni, A Cycling Team, and a team from Kirk’s Bike Shop, who came in about a minute after the Ball State Cycling team. Garrett Weiler, a senior graphic arts major, said he has been on the cycling team since his freshman year and was happy to win the overall title back after losing last year. “I have done this now four years and it’s gotten better and

better every year,” Weiler said. “All the community teams, we ride and race with them, so it’s a lot faster and harder. We know what it’s like to actually race, so I guess it’s expected that we should do well.” Weiler said he joined the team because he has always loved cycling. “It’s nice to get out in the middle of nowhere, be there on your own,” Weiler said. “It’s fun stress relief. I just like to ride my bike really fast.” Ryan Page, a sophomore nursing major, bought his first

The McKinley Mile was his third race. “I got into working out after my freshman year and I dropped some weight but I really wasn’t happy with my aerobic ability so I started ... cycling.” Page said. “It’s great for your body.” Chris Thompson, a history professor, rode with the Kirk’s Bike Shop team and said the Ball State Cycling team was good competition.

“It was fun, it went well, everyone cycled as hard as they could and we got beat by better teams,” Thompson said. Thompson said weather conditions have made it difficult to train outside, so most of their practices have been indoors. Heintz said he was happy with the turnout, and will only make minor changes for next year. “We had a lot of people coming from the community, we had a lot of students and we had a lot of teams too,” Heintz said.
