Reserved attacker presents potential Junior builds additional muscle through alternative workouts |
DAVID POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski
Hidden underneath a reserved personality is a driven mind. When Ball State outside attacker Matt Sutherland came to college, head men’s volleyball coach Joel Walton didn’t know how to help Sutherland come out of his shell. Walton turned to Sutherland’s club coach for guidance. “You need let him go and let him know you have confidence in him,” the club coach told Walton. “You have to put him out on the court and give him chances and there will be times he’ll do some INDIVIDUAL STATS absolutely spectac- MATT SUTHERLAND, A JUNIOR OUTSIDE ATTACKER ular things.” On Sunday, the ju- • Sets played: 42 nior set a career-high • Kills: 78 in kills against Lees- • Digs: 64 McRae with 11.

Walton describes him as quiet and laid back, but Sutherland wasn’t shy when describing what he saw in the Harvard defense that allowed him to have a career game. “We had problems with their middles, so we did the best we could pinching up,” he said. “Once we fixed that, it helped us take control. We watched a lot of video and tried to close out against their outsides.” With him taking sizable steps forward this season, Walton said some of Sutherland’s activities off the court have been the most beneficial. Last summer, he worked as a camp counselor and taught children how to water-ski. The rigorous physical activity strengthened his body and helped build stamina. “Something about his summer activities got him back to Ball State in very good shape,” Walton said.

er softball career has bridged the gap between a Texas high school, the Canadian National Softball Team and Ball State. Senior outfielder Jennifer Gilbert has grown at every level of her career, which she credits to a team-oriented mindset. Though she was only one game away from breaking the 17th and 18th records of her career, Gilbert said she keeps her focus on being a good teammate.
People say McDonald’s took money from checks to pay for their uniforms
WNIT, AGAIN
|
NEW YORK — Organizers of the fast-food protests for higher pay shifted their attention Tuesday to another issue: “wage theft.” Protesters planned to rally outside McDonald’s restaurants in cities including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami to call attention to the denial of overtime pay and other violations they say deprive workers of the money they’re owed. The demonstrations are a followup to lawsuits filed last week in three states on behalf of workers, who said they had their wages stolen by McDonald’s and its franchisees. Workers said money was deducted from their paychecks for their uniforms and that they were sometimes made to wait around before they could CONTACT US
