BOMBINGS FROM THE EYES OF A BSU RUNNER EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER | emfittes@bsu.edu
When the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon, Melissa McGrath, an assistant professor of speech language pathology, was passing the 23-mile mark, three miles from the finish. Her husband Kevin McGrath was about a mile away, traveling on a packed train with friends to cheer her across the finish line. They returned safely to Indiana two days later to their three children, friends and family. The following is an edited transcribed interview with Melissa McGrath recounting the events of April 15. “I don’t think the enormity of it really hit me until I got home. Because just being in the middle of it and suffering through it with everyone else... while we were there we were just thankful that we had found each other and that we knew that we were OK.
If I would have started 20 minutes earlier than I did, then my husband would have probably been at the finish line. So it could have been him or it could have been me for how close we were. At about mile 23, I was running with
my iPhone, because I use that for my music too, and my music kept cutting out, my husband was calling in, and I thought that was really weird because he knew I was running so I didn’t answer it. I looked down again and noticed my dad was calling, my dad who lives in Arizona, and I thought, ‘All right he knows I’m running too, so there’s something going on.’ So I finally stopped running, [and I] was really mad that they were interrupting me. My husband said, ‘Are you OK?’ And I said, ‘Of course I’m OK, I’m at mile 23, I have three miles left.’ And he said, ‘Well there was a bomb.’ At that point I guess I didn’t really realize the enormity of the situation because the Boston marathon is such a big deal for the city and there were hundreds of people, like four or five people deep along the whole course.
Everybody was goofing it up and having fun and cheering on the racers. I just looked around and I go, ‘That’s not possible because everybody is in such a great mood.’ So I go, ‘I am going to keep running.’ As I was turning the corner [for the final mile] there were police barricades and they stopped me and all the other runners... and said they had called the race, there’s been explosions and their not allowing you to finish. I saw the helicopters and I saw several ambulances and police cars and as they turned the corner I was able to see the sight of the explosions. Then I realized what had gone on. After that it was kind of just mass confusion because all of the runners that were coming behind. Most of us had no way of getting a hold of anyone and we didn’t know what to do.”

Many cases of plagiarism are accidental, Associate Provost Marilyn Buck said. A lot of these cases are students not citing information they meant to or not understanding citations in general.

Taking someone else’s work and directly using it as one’s own is considered deliberate plagiarism, regardless if it is a sentence or an entire paper.

Assists per 12.01 - 6th Ball State’s coach Joel set Walton won the Mid- Aces per set 1.25 - 7th western Intercollegiate Volleyball Association’s Coach of the Year, and the Cardinals touted four first team All-MIVA players. Loyola’s Joseph Smalzer won MIVA Player of the Year, and the Ramblers had two players join the All-MIVA first team. Both are in the top in several statistical categories in the MIVA, both have been nationally ranked for weeks, both swept through their first round matchups and both are playing for their seasons. More than likely a loss ends either team’s year, with the at-large bid for the last spot in the Final Four seemingly reserved for a West Coast team (IPFW in 1994 is the only non-West Coast team in 43 years to receive an at-large bid). To see who moves on to the conference finals, two streak impressive streaks will be put to the test. No. 3 seed Ball State is riding a 13-match winning streak, its longest since 1982, and second seeded Loyola has not dropped a match against Ball State at home since 1999. Walton said a lot of Loyola’s success at home was because of their facility’s low hang ceiling that throws off the dimensions of the court. “All of those years we were playing in a facility that was almost unfair,” Walton said. But over the past two years, in the new Gentile Arena, Ball State’s performances have yet to garner a win. Ball State’s last loss came two months ago — at Loyola. The Cardinals were swept, eschewing a major lineup change that has yet to trail in sets. Ball State defeated Loyola 11 days ago 3-1, ending Loyola’s own winning streak of nine matches. Replicating a match like that won’t be an easy feat, especially with only three days to prepare.

Even if the paper is written by the student turning it in, turning in that same paper for another class is considered plagiarism.

Each bid could be classified as attempted plagiarism, Marilyn Buck, associate provost, said. While only one student wrote the paper for money, the other commenters attempted, which could still be considered academic dishonesty.

HACKERS COMPROMISE AP TWITTER
NEW YORK (AP) — Hackers compromised Twitter accounts of The Associated Press on Tuesday, sending out a false tweet about an attack at the White House. The false tweet said there had been two explosions at the White House and that President Barack Obama was injured. The attack on AP’s Twitter account and the AP Mobile Twitter account was preceded by phishing attempts on AP’s corporate network. The AP confirmed that its Twitter account had been suspended following a hack and said it was working to correct the issue. The fake tweet went out shortly after 1 p.m. and briefly sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average sharply lower. The Dow fell about 143 points, from 14,697 to 14,554, after the fake Twitter posting, and then quickly recovered. A Securities and Exchange Commission spokeswoman declined comment on the incident. AP spokesman Paul Colford said the news cooperative is working with Twitter to investigate the issue. The AP has disabled its other Twitter accounts following the attack, Colford added. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama is fine. “I was just with him,” Carney said at a news briefing. A representative for Twitter did not immediately return messages for comment.

*Editor’s note: Name has been changed to protect student’s identity.
s last semester came to a close, double major Julia Carrell* had more than finals on her mind. She moved out of her near-campus home, moved her clothes from the closet to the trunk of her car and packed her backpack with bathroom toiletries. This would be the first semester she lived as a homeless college student. “I ran out of money, that was all,” Carrell said. “When it happened I thought, ‘Well, maybe I could get a job, bust ass and try to make each month’s rent,’ but even then I don’t think I’d be able to make that. So, why not stay on campus for free?” For many students, tuition isn’t the only cost of being at Ball State. For example, to live in a double room at LaFollette Complex, as Carrell did her freshman year, it costs $7,950 with the minimum 10 Plus meal plan.
BY THE NUMBERS
For those that have moved past freshman year and into off-campus living, the financial burden decreases. The average student apartment or house rent share can range from $2,475 to 4,500 for the nine months that students attend spring and fall semesters. The catch: If a student works 20 hours, the maximum amount of hours a fulltime student is allowed to work at an on-campus job, at the state’s minimum wage of $7.25, then the maximum amount they could make per month is $580, before taxes. On looking at the 2013 federal poverty guidelines, students in this situation, if not receiving additional funds, are living $4,530 below the poverty line. While Carrell has never met any other homeless Ball State students, she is not alone. More than 33,000 college students identified themselves as homeless on Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms in the 2010–11 academic year, according to USA Today College. Carrell said she was surprised with some responses she got when zshe mentioned her situation to people. “Some people have been like, ‘Oh, yeah, I was homeless when I was in college,’” Carrell said. “I had no idea this was even a thing.” Carrell showers in the Student Recreation and Wellness Center and gets changed and ready in public bathrooms before her slew of classes. She mostly sleeps in a room in a campus building, normally wearing a coat to keep her warm. Sometimes she sleeps on friends’ couches, but she said she tries not to impose. She makes sure she is up before morning classes begin. She hasn’t been caught yet by professors, students or custodians. But she is open with friends about her living situation. “People are usually really supportive,” Carrell said. “Most of the time they start out with pitying me. I tell them I’m fine, don’t worry about it. I’m not pitying my-
tic lifestyle. In fact, she said the experience has been an adventure. “I like it a lot more [than previous living situations],” Carrell said. “I’m not surrounded by material possessions I don’t need. This really cleaned out my life. I live simpler, and I don’t have to worry about rent.” Next year, Carrell said she may or may not be homeless again, but the prospect doesn’t bother her. Carrell’s plan is to get into graduate school post-graduation and work in the arts. “I’m a fighter, I’m tough, I’m determined,” Carrell said. “I want to graduate with a double major so bad I will be homeless.” She also looks at the possibility of doing a cross-country road trip and living out of her car, stopping at the places the indie rock band Bon Iver has names songs after. The possibilities are wide-open. “After this semester, I can do anything,” Carrell said.
self, so don’t pity me. A lot of people don’t make this decision, they are forced into homelessness. I made this decision for myself.” Carrell splits her time between the 21 credit hours she is taking and an estimated 20 hours as a waitress at a local restaurant. In her free time, which is few and far in between, she still lives the college lifestyle with extracurriculars, sipping Starbucks and hanging out with friends in bars. This has been the first semester she has worked; previous years she has used the cash she earned at summer jobs to cover the costs that her grants, loans and scholarship don’t cover. Carrell estimates she is $22,000 in debt from school loans. However, she does her best to minimize the costs. “I’d rather be homeless now than later,” Carrell said. Carrell grew up in a place nicknamed “The Golden Ghetto” because it was a lower income neighborhood that was still within the city limits of Carmel, Ind., a city known for its community wealth. “In my sophomore year of high school, my dad told me that I would never be able to go to college because I don’t have the money,” Carrell said. “But that gave me even more of a drive to do it. I wanted to prove him wrong.” Carrell knew her parents wouldn’t be able to financially contribute to college, so the burden was all on her. While the change would turn some students’ worlds upside down, Carrell said being homeless hasn’t really affected her already simplis-

Study looks at relationship violence in young adults Professor coauthors report on bullying, dating in teenagers
|
CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER castephens@bsu.edu
School nurses provide the first line of defense for adolescents dealing with abusive relationships, according to a study authored by a Ball State professor. Jagdish Khubchandani, assistant professor of community health education, recently published “Providing Assistance to the Victims of
Adolescent Dating Violence: A National Assessment of School Nurses’ Practices,” in the Journal of School Health. Khubchandani’s research looked at 348 K-12 school’s abilities to deal with acts of adolescent dating violence, or ADV, and to teach children about positive, normal relationship behavior. “There are some movies that show kids being abused, so they think it’s OK,” Khubchandani said. “We have to get rid of those myths.” Due to social stigmas and stereotypes, young adults often do not know where to turn to talk about sexual abuse that
may involve pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease, or physical abuse that often leaves the victim embarrassed. “Students would not go to their parents, and going to a teacher would not be possible either,” Khubchandani said. Students often find solace in talking to the school nurse though, 55 percent of whom report assisting a student with an ADV problem within the past two years. However, of those school nurses, 86 percent did not have protocol for responding to an ADV incident, and 88 percent had received no
training for assistance. “It’s a conflict for schools and parents; everyone is trying to run away from the topic,” Khubchandani said. He also quoted one school principal he interviewed as saying, “I’m not here to deal with dating or bullying, I’m here to teach students.” Another hurdle Khubchandani said school nurses have to overcome is a lack of updated education, most of which he said had not received any training for 20 or more years. “It has to be simple instruction — One day training, they need to be updated,” he said.

For a second I was thinking... maybe this is a hoax and then all of a sudden the radio... on his shoulder started going crazy and he pushed me aside and started calling on the radio. So we actually knew probably 15 seconds before the police even did, I think.” He was able to flag Melissa down at mile 25, but she was delirious after running for four hours and took off to finish the race. He knew that the police would be stopping runners before the finish, and that she would be stuck in the crowd. “That’s was when it got really scary for me because I knew she was safe, because I knew I had just seen her and I knew the bombs had just gone off, [but] I didn’t know if there were more bombs,” Kevin said. “The scary part was that you didn’t have cellphone service [and] she was in a city that she has never been in before.” He said it took an hour and 40 minutes to make any contact with Melissa because in the few seconds when the phones

Professor, husband share story of Boston bombings Melissa McGrath describes feel of Boston after attack

EMMA KATE FITTES CHIEF REPORTER emfittes@bsu.edu
When Melissa McGrath applied to run in the Boston Marathon for charity a year ago, she had concerns. The Ball State assistant professor of speech language pathology was worried that she would not raise her $5,000 goal for The Melanoma Foundation of New England Inc., and because she was a mom of three and hadn’t run a full marathon in 15 years. McGrath was not worried that two bombs would detonate, killing three and injuring hundreds, preventing her from finishing the race and sending the city into chaos. But that is exactly what happened as she crossed the 23mile mark, three miles from the finish. Her husband, Kevin McGrath, called her while she was running to warn her that a bomb had gone off. He was on the train one mile away from the finish line, headed toward it in order to cheer her on as she crossed. “We had just seen [Melissa] at mile 17 and a person I know, one of their family members, texted us and said, ‘Bomb, don’t come,’” her husband said. “We were on our way to the finish line to see them finish. One of the women that I was travel-
DISHONESTY: Official says most plagiarism accidental | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The paper for Ronald Truelove’s personality psychology class received an F letter grade, simply based on the quality of the paper and despite the student paying $30 for it. One teaching assistant for the class saw the post online and took screen shots to send to Truelove. This case is unusual compared to the 305 plagiarisms during the past five years at Ball State, according to documents obtained through a public records request. While the majority of academic dishonesty cases pertained to plagiarism, 56 students have been caught copying and 28 students were caught submitting identical papers over the past five years. With no students expelled in the past five years and only one suspended, Ball State administrators focus more on addressing and preventing plagiarism rather than catching people. In class soon after, the psychology instructor addressed the issue to the entire class of 167 students. “We’ve got to get this out there,” Truelove said. “I’ve got to make this not just a punishment in secret... We’ve got to yell this from the rooftops and say, ‘Look what happened to these people. Is that worth it?’” Four of the 12 students are facing punishments that have yet to be decided by Director of Student Rights Mike Gillilan. The other eight students have avoided punishments because the posts were too ambiguous and almost seemed like some of the students were joking, Truelove said. Most cases of academic dishonesty that cannot be
resolved on a faculty member and student level go through Buck’s office and then a board. This case is going through Student Rights as well because most of the accused students were not in Truelove’s class. Buck said she has never seen a case like this. During the 2011-12 academic year, five cases were seen by the board. So far this academic year, 10 cases have gone to the board. Buck said in the past five years, no students have been expelled for academic dishonesty, and only one student has been suspended. All academic dishonesty cases, regardless if there is a hearing, is explained in a form and filed in Buck’s office. Buck said most cases of plagiarism are accidental and caused by a misunderstanding of how to cite information. “I think sometimes when we do an absolute requirement of that source that we lose our compassion for people who make mistakes,” she said. “Let’s not punish people who made an honest mistake – key word there is honest – mistake and didn’t mean to.” Before 2008, academic dishonesty cases were not recorded unless a hearing was needed. Buck said the issue came when students could cheat and get caught in multiple classes without repercussions since their previous offenses weren’t recorded. Gillilan said he thinks it is important that academic dishonesty cases have always tried to be resolved before a board has to intervene, unlike other colleges such as Purdue University. “I think that preserves an important part of the rela-
PROCESS OF HEARING •C ases go to hearing without student and faculty member agreeing on terms • F aculty member and student each have 15 minutes to explain what happened •E ach party can bring witnesses, if applicable •B oard of three faculty members, two students and non-voting two ex officio members discuss and vote on outcome. •S econd-time offenders meet with Associate Provost Marilyn Buck privately to discuss how to prevent this from happening again. •T hird-time offenders will likely be expelled or suspended. Buck has never seen a thirdtime offender. tionship between the student and the faculty member,” he said. “It gives the student the opportunity to talk to the faculty member about what happened, how they came to the situation that they did and allow the faculty member to respond.” Many students who commit plagiarism will be forced to complete Multimedia Integrity Teaching Tool at the Learning Center. The program is interactive and teaches students what exactly plagiarism is. The program comes in either 36 lessons that takes about 6 to 8 hours to complete or 18 lessons. The faculty member recommends what version the student will take. Professors have the option of using SafeAssign, a Blackboard program to run papers through to detect plagiarism. Truelove said he plans on
creating a mandatory policy for his classes that students must run their papers through the software to make sure they are citing sources often enough. “It won’t catch plagiarism per se, because if the student has cited well but just did too much, they may have 60 to 70 percent,” Buck said. “So if they put it into quotes or cited it. It may be poor writing, but it isn’t plagiarism.” Truelove said he explained the case of plagiarism to his class to show students what can happen if they plagiarized. Gillilan and Buck said the way Ball State handles plagiarism is about preventing further offenses rather than catching people who already have committed the act. “My colleagues said, ‘We can catch them with this,’” Truelove said. “And I said, ‘That’s not the purpose of this.’ What I’m going to do is have every student submit it through this in between me and them, and I’m going to explain at the beginning of class, ‘Here’s what you guys are doing,’ so that will stop them from doing it.” Truelove said that as a psychology instructor, he tries to understand why students plagiarize. He said he asks his classes every semester how many of them have purchased a paper online and about half of the students in every class raise their hands. “One student said that no student can do everything that’s required to take 18 credits and really write all of those papers for all of those classes,” he said. “And they were almost blaming the university and the professors for loading them up like that and making them cheat. That’s what they were telling me.”
Sixteen states have recommended talking about healthy relationships in general studies health classes, although this has received backlash, Khubchandani said. An aspect of ADV Khubchandani said was underplayed in popular media is the rate of female versus male abuse. “I found that teenagers would laugh at other, saying, ‘Oh if your girlfriend is abusing you it’s OK,’” he said. Through his research, he found that both men and women have an almost equal chance to be abused; this was equally true in the LGBTQ
community as well, with 11 percent of adolescents saying they had been abused in a relationship within the past year, and 30 percent saying they’d been abused in the last two years. Khubchandani said he believes that abuse during adolescence leads to unhealthy relationships in adulthood, and that teaching students how to have a positive relationship will surely lead to a lower number of abusive adult relationships. “If a school does not have a moral responsibility, they at least have a legal responsibility,” Khubchandani said.
Assembly passes gay rights measure 331 to 225 votes
the Assembly president, who got a gunpowder-filled envelope on Monday. One of the biggest protests against same-sex marriage drew together hundreds of thousands of people bused in from the French provinces — conservative activists, schoolchildren with their parents, retirees, priests and others. That demonstration ended in blasts of tear gas, as right-wing rabble-rousers, some in masks and hoods, led the charge against police, damaging cars along the Champs-Elysees avenue and making a break for the presidential palace. Following the vote members of the gay and lesbian community flocked to a square in central Paris, just behind City Hall, to celebrate the vote. “I feel immense joy, gigantic joy,” said 39-year-old Sylvain Rouzel, “at last, everyone has the same rights. This is huge. France was lagging behind. We had to wait 14 years after the civil union to finally obtain the right to get married, with equal rights for everyone. I feel great.” Paris’ openly gay mayor, Bertrand Delanoe, was among the crowd of hundreds gathered for the street celebration in the Marais, the city’s historic gay neighborhood. When Hollande promised to legalize gay marriage, it was seen as relatively uncontroversial. The issue has become a touchstone as his popularity has sunk to unprecedented lows, largely over France’s ailing economy. “The opposition is in a weakened position, but they know which buttons to press in order to get a reaction in society, in a country as liberal as France, where nobody thought it was an issue,” said Hossein Alizadeh, a coordinator with the U.S.-based International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission who has followed the issue. But the most visible face in the fight against gay marriage — a former comedienne who goes by the name of Frigide Barjot — said the movement named “A Protest for Everyone” will continue beyond the law’s passage and possibly field candidates in 2014 municipal elections. She said anyone involved in protest violence would be marginalized, but blamed the government for its failure to listen.
FRANCE APPROVES GAY MARRIAGE DESPITE PROTESTS
| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS — France legalized gay marriage on Tuesday after a wrenching national debate that has exposed deep conservatism in the nation’s heartland and triggered huge protests that tapped into deep discontent with the Socialist government. Legions of officers with water cannon braced outside the National Assembly for violence that had not come by late evening. The protests against the measure included thousands but were peaceful. Other gatherings were simply celebrations. But it was an issue that galvanized the country’s faltering right, which had been decimated by infighting and their election loss to President Francois Hollande. The measure passed easily in the Socialist-majority Assembly, 331-225, just minutes after the president of the legislative body expelled a disruptive protester in pink, the color adopted by French opponents of gay marriage. Justice Minister Christiane Taubira told lawmakers that the first weddings could be as soon as June. “We believe that the first weddings will be beautiful and that they’ll bring a breeze of joy, and that those who are opposed to them today will surely be confounded when they are overcome with the happiness of the newlyweds and the families,” she said. Outside the Parliament building on Paris’ Left Bank there appeared to be more police than protestors. Claire Baron, 41, a mother of two, said she “will oppose the bill until the end.” “I’ll keep going to the protests, I don’t give in,” Baron said. “The bill is not effective yet, the president of the Republic must listen to our voices. We are here to defend family values. Children need a mom and a dad.” In recent weeks, violent attacks against gay couples have spiked and some legislators have received threats — including Claude Bartolone,
AP|BRIEF
IU SORORITY APOLOGIZES FOR PARTY
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — An Indiana University sorority has apologized for throwing a party that made fun of the homeless as it responds to criticism that the event was insensitive. Kappa Delta president Aubrey McMahon issued the apology in a letter posted on the chapter’s website Friday. “Our choice was a poor one. We know that it was not acceptable and does not align with our values,” she wrote. The party featured sorority members with fake dirt smudged on their faces and wearing cutoff denim shorts and tank tops. Some carried signs with slogans including “Why Lie: It’s For Boooze. Homeless need $ and prayers,” the website Jezebel reported. McMahon said the sorority plans to work with its national organization and local advisers to develop a plan for sensitivity training and community service. National Kappa Delta leaders said in a statement that they did not condone the event and was investigating. IU spokesman Mark Land told The Herald-Times in Bloomington that university officials are aware of the event and that Dean of Students Pete Goldsmith had contacted members of the sorority chapter. “It’s not like they’re guilty of anything illegal. Right now, they’re guilty of being in bad taste,” Land said. Christy Shepard, executive director of the Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention in Indianapolis, told The Indianapolis Star Tuesday that the situation illustrates the misconceptions about why people are homeless. She said she hopes the flap over the party serves as a learning opportunity. “We don’t live in silos. Our behaviors and our actions and our works have consequences, sometimes unintended ones,” she said.

Late home runs propel Ball State past in-state rival, IU Cardinals overcome slow start, score 3 in top of 6th inning
|
DAKOTA CRAWFORD STAFF REPORTER @DakotaCrawford_
Ball State softball found itself in a down to the wire match
with Indiana on Tuesday night, before a pair of late home runs gave the team a 5-2 win. The Cardinals were able to pull through a slow start on offense with only two runs heading into the sixth inning. With the lack of offense, the team first relied on defensive play to gain much needed momentum early. Jennifer Gilbert made the all-
important double play in the bottom of the second, halting an offensive burst by Indiana to just one run. After snagging a fly ball, she then threw an Indiana runner out at the plate. Though she did not light up the scoreboard, she helped the team grind out the early innings, something coach Craig Nicholson felt the entire team did well.

“The team really competed well tonight,� Nicholson said. “We didn’t necessarily play overly well, but we competed and we played hard.� Ball State responded offensively in the third inning. Sophomores Loren Cihlar and Hanne Stuedemann were each able to reach base on Indiana errors, setting up junior Taylor Rager for an RBI single to even the
score at 1-1. Sophomore Jessica Craft nailed a home run in the top of the fourth to giving Ball State a 2-1 lead. Craft went 2-for-2 on the day with two runs scored. It was her sixth career start at catcher. In her second consecutive complete game, freshman pitcher Kelsey Schifferdecker secured a win. She held Indiana to just
five hits on the day, and struck out one hitter along the way. “I think it was a pretty solid win,� Craft said. “We had a couple things that we know we need to work on this week to make sure that we are ready for conference this weekend.� The Cardinals return to MidAmerican Conference play on Friday in a doubleheader at Central Michigan.

addition of a cover for Ball State’s batting cages, which Maloney has stressed is a key toward player development and improved recruiting. Stadium upgrades play an important role in recruiting. Big Ten teams like Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State and Minnesota have recently renovated their stadiums. In the Mid-American Conference, Miami of Ohio, Western Michigan, Kent State and more have done recent revamps to improve the quality of both the stadium and the program. For Ball State, it’s difficult to compete against those ballparks when its own field has wasted away. “Right now, you don’t want to bring a recruit to the field because it’s inept,” Maloney said. “Reality is, we need it all. It doesn’t need to be a Taj Mahal, it just needs to be cleaned up and represent Ball State well, so when people pass it by, they look and say, ‘You know what, that’s a nice looking ball park right there.’” One improvement Maloney would like to make is removing the barn that sits next to the Ball State dugout. Currently, the team uses the barn to house equipment and supplies, but only because there’s nowhere else to put it. “You look next to the dugout, there’s the barn sitting out there,” Maloney said. “It doesn’t need to be there. Come on, seriously? A barn.”
RENDERING COURTESY OF BALL STATE ATHLETICS
Eliminating clutter and improving field conditions are solutions that would help Ball Diamond be more aesthetically pleasing. After coaching at Michigan for 10 seasons, where the baseball stadium was recently renovated,
“There’s just not a lot of time,” Walton said. “We’re looking at how they played us and Quincy [Loyola’s first round opponent], and combining that information to polish and tweak our game plan from last time.” The obvious statistic that influenced the different outcomes is hitting percentage. Loyola is the No. 1 team in the MIVA in hitting percentage.
Juxtaposing that is Ball State, the No. 1 team in opponent’s hitting percentage. In Loyola’s win, the Ramblers hit .356. In its loss, they hit .193. It sounds simple, but containing Loyola’s offense is a confounding matter that starts with its serve. “When we lost to [Loyola] our passing wasn’t very good,” Walton said. “They bring a lot of pressure with their serve, and we have to be ready to handle it and give Graham
[McIlvaine] a chance to run our offense from the best possible position.” Walton foresees the clash playing out how it is portrayed on paper, but thinks Ball State’s streaks and season will continue. “Do I think it’s going to be easy? No, it’s going to be a battle,” Walton said. “But I think we’ve proved that we can play good volleyball anywhere, and when we do that I think we can beat anybody.”
and my expectation was there would be a stadium very soon,” Maloney said. “Everybody was on board with knowing what we need to do, and I’m excited that we’re well on our way to doing what’s needed to be done.”
