NEW STUDENTS CAN ‘GET ACQUAINTED’ WITH CAMPUS AT FREE EVENT After MAINstage comes to a close this weekend, students new and old will still have one more chance to learn more about the campus around them. An annual event since 1978, Get Acquainted Day will take place 4-7 p.m. Aug. 29 in the Warriner Mall — the area of campus between Warriner and Grawn halls that contains the Central Michigan University seal. The free event operates similar to MAINstage, though on a smaller scale, said Wade Tomson, Multicultural Academic Student Services executive secretary. Offices and Registered Student Organizations from across campus will host tables aimed at engaging new students and spreading the word of what the CMU community has to offer. There will also be tables designated for local businesses, including Insomnia

Cookies, which will be providing a donation of free food. Several Greek organisations will be present to introduce themselves, and some will be giving performances. A DJ will also be present. The event will be open to everyone, though the ultimate goal is attract incoming freshmen and transfer students, especially those interested in becoming involved with multicultural activites, Tomson said. “We look at this as a way to help our multicultural students — given the title of the event — ‘get acquainted’ with their community,” Tomson said. “(They learn) what offices are here that can offer some support, but also where (students) can come together and get to know each other. I like to call it a little ‘block party.’” -Mitchell Kukulka, Investigative Editor

PHI SIGMA PHI FRATERNITY TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED DUE TO VIOLATIONS Effective Aug. 21, Phi Sigma Phi has been temporarily suspended, pending an investigation. According to the Fraternity and Sorority Life page on the university’s website, PSP is temporarily suspended for violating the Central Michigan University Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities involving the alcohol policy, violations by Registered Student Organizations and violation of university regulations. This is the fourth Greek organization in less than a year that has been suspended at CMU. In November 2017, Pi Kappa Phi was suspended indefinitely after failing to comply with prior sanctions and a hazing

complaint. In January, Phi Kappa Tau was suspended until 2020 for student conduct violations. Sigma Lambda Gamma, a sorority at CMU, was suspended by its national chapter in February until 2028 for hazing. Tom Idema, director of the Office of Student Conduct, said PSP is being investigated for violations that occurred on two different occasions. He said he is not sure when the investigation will be completed. -Emma Dale, Editor-in-Chief

SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS FINALIST FOR CAMPUS PROGRAM OF THE YEAR Central Michigan University’s chapter of Society of Professional Journalists is a finalist for an award for its Freedom of Information Act project. Every year, the Society of Professional Journalists honors outstanding campus chapters from each of its 12 regions. Starting this year, SPJ is also recognizing campus programs, or projects from each region. In January, CMU’s SPJ chapter sent FOIA requests to every university in the MidAmerican Conference, asking for incident reports relating to sexual assault, harassment and violence. They also requested police records, along with policies and guidelines for campus police to use in those situations. SPJ members graded each university based on the timeliness of its response and the amount of information it provided. CMU was one of the schools that failed, according to the parameters. CMU denied

the students’ request, explaining that the documents contained personal information which could reveal “embarrassing and intimate details” about students. “We hope this award will bring attention to the work we did and also the crux of our project: the problem of campus sexual assault and our access to information regarding it,” said Gaylord senior Ashley Shafer, Social Media Chair of SPJ and community editor at Central Michigan Life. Faculty adviser Ed Simpson said he is extremely proud of the work his students did. “The students did a fabulous job of conceiving and executing [this project],” he said. “It’s a really important function of journalism to shine a light on issues that are normally kept in the dark . This project exemplified that.” The winner and runner-up will be announced Sept. 28 at the Excellence in Journalism 2018 conference in Baltimore. -Sara Kellner, University Editor

After spending a portion of her summer break in Limerick, Ireland, Grosse Point Park junior Holly Daywalt said she can’t wait to travel again. “This was such an amazing experience and it truly meant the world to me that I was lucky enough to have such a wonderful (trip),” Daywalt said. When Central Michigan University students return from summer study abroad sessions, the caption “Take me back!” returns to social media platforms. What makes the experience so buzz-worthy?

For Daywalt, it was the personal development. She returned to the states a more assertive and effective communicator. “I’m starting a new role as an resident assistant in Beddow (Hall) and the skills I acquired during my travels will translate well into this position,” she said. “Studying abroad (helped) me build my confidence in travel and life in general.” Daywalt was able to experience this growth through planning her trip with the Office of Study Abroad located in Ronan Hall. The office offers faculty-led, tuition exchange and direct enroll study abroad options.

Students also have the option to select international internships. According to Study Abroad Adviser Marko Schubert, about 545 students studied abroad during Summer 2018. The study abroad office’s website provides information on 43 country options curious students can browse. The site’s finance page boasts nearly 70 percent of all students who applied for study abroad scholarships received awards during the 2017-18 academic year. As one of the 545 students who traveled outside the

STUDY ABROAD | CONTINUED FROM 4 country, Muskegon junior Julia Wood said the experience helped her understand another culture. Wood chose to study abroad in Denmark after learning the country values environmentalism and implements a democratically socialist government. “I finally immersed myself in a different area of the world and became a citizen temporarily,” She said. “(I really felt) I belonged and could have gone on living there indefinitely.” Wood said the experience exceeded her expectations and she would love to study abroad again, but she would struggle to fit another trip in her schedule. Students looking to study abroad might also run into financial issues when looking at spending time outside the

U.S.; a semester abroad can cost as much as $25,000 or as little as $9,000. “(Finding an average cost is) really hard because there

are so many different factors,” Schubert said. A student’s chosen country, airfare and lifestyle choices all decide the final cost of the trip.

This summer, Italy, Denmark and Ireland were the most popular study abroad destinations, Schubert said. They also are a few of

the most expensive options. However, students still find a way to travel. Macomb senior Kynoshia Blake lowered the cost of her summer study abroad by traveling for six weeks, rather than a semester. Her cost of classes, living arrangements, airfare and lifestyle choices amounted to $6,450. “The cost can vary depending on one’s financial situation and scholarships,” she said. “If I wasn’t graduating this semester, I would definitely study abroad again.” Blake said traveling to Italy fulfilled one of three main goals on her bucket list. Paying off student loans before 30 and owning a media production company are still on her list. “I honestly never thought I’d have the chance to go,” she said. “The fact I was able to live and go to school there for six weeks was everything to me.” While most students are looking to travel outside the U.S. to explore unfamiliar places, senior Xavier-Thomas Mendoza took his study abroad opportunity and turned it into

a productive homecoming. Born in the Philippines, Mendoza lived in Detroit before becoming a student at CMU. Mendoza, a photojournalism major, interned at Volunteers for the Visayans in Tacloban, Leyte, Philippines and took photographs of the damage done in 2013 by typhoon Haiyan. Mendoza was able to visit family on his days off and said he enjoyed experiencing an unfamiliar part of the Philippines. “The experience was very humbling and gave me a bigger sense of how not everyone in the world can be as fortunate as us (in the US),” he said. “I saw children that had to work in trash sites with their parents to make ends meet and people with rationed water.” Mendoza said he hopes his photographs can bring awareness to the damage done by typhoon Haiyan.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT DAVIES

ear President Davies, Welcome to Central Michigan University! Congratulations on being chosen to

serve as the 15th president of our university. CMU is a wonderful place. We hope you and your family grow to love it as much as we do.

Central Michigan Life is the voice of our students, so you’ll be hearing from us. A lot. We believe in truthfulness, transparency and accuracy. We sincerely are looking forward to building a positive relationship with you. We, your student media, are not your enemy. We at CMU look out for each other. In order for every student to succeed here we want everyone to receive the care, resources and attention we deserve as students paying tuition. You will be getting a lot advice and information from administrators and staff in the coming weeks. Here are some of the concerns we would like to share with you: Lack of transparency: Sexual assault and sexual harassment happen on every university campus. CMU is no exception. In April, the CMU chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists coordinated a Freedom of Information Act project seeking public information about sexual assault, harassment and violence. A dozen public universities responded to the request – CMU was the only university that refused to provide any records or data. In April, University Communications announced the appointment of a new dean of libraries. What was not mentioned in that press release, but was later reported by CM Life, is former dean Jeff Luzius was fired. Our university fired him after receiving multiple sexual harassment complaints against him by students and other complainants. The student body deserves the truth about sexual assault and harassment on our campus. We cannot pretend that sexual assault and harassment never happens here. So please, help make us a more open, transparent campus. Fees & Tuition: Not long before your hiring, the board of trustees approved a $225 per semester student service fee. This fee is mandatory. You know student debt is a huge concern for us. How exactly this $10 million per year will be spent has never been fully explained to students. As you may already know, our counseling center is in dire need of help. If a student needs counseling services during the school year, it’s not uncommon for them to wait for days, even weeks. As one of your first priorities, please ensure that some of the money from the student service fee immediately goes towards improving our counseling center and its services. Trustees decided to forgo a tuition increase this year. We appreciate that. Please help keep CMU affordable. We encourage you to follow the lead of former president George Ross who made an effort to increase scholarship dollars for

students. It’s fine that CMU is one of the least expensive public universities in Michigan. Still, there’s rent, the high cost of car insurance, transportation, books and supplies for class, food ... Education needs to be affordable. Don’t let the cost of CMU drive away students. Invest in all of us: When you arrived on campus, you commented that you prefer asking students “What’s your passion?” instead of “What’s your major?” You mentioned that while STEM majors get a lot of attention, you also support the humanities. Please keep that in mind when you consider funding requests. Trustees voiced support for the construction of the Chippewa Champion Center. So have some students and staff. It’s a building that will directly benefit the Advancement and Athletics departments, alumni and visitors and some student athletes – but not the average student. About $32 million in donations and university funds will be spent on the project. Other buildings that the majority of students spend their time in – such as Moore, Anspach and Pearce halls – will likely never get that much attention. The university has also poured a lot of money into facilities for the medical school – which is still largely subsidized by undergraduate students – and the Biosciences building. While the students in those programs deserve the best, liberal arts and humanities students pay just as much tuition and rarely receive any benefit from these projects. Get out of that office: Get to know us – students, faculty, staff and members of the Mount Pleasant community. Let us get to know you. We know you will be busy, but you were busy at Murray State, too. At your former university you hosted a barbecue. You also scheduled “Coffee With Bob” sessions for students who wanted to speak with you. Please continue to reach out to the student body. Leave your office and come out on campus. Come to our concerts, plays, RSO events. Meet with faculty and staff and hear their ideas and concerns. Get to know CMU. It will be the key to your success. We wish you luck and look forward to working with you.

How to survive on campus without a car Mount Pleasant is a college town, but not everything is near Central Michigan University. A lot of places require a car to get to, which makes it hard for students who don’t have access to one. It is possible to survive, you just have to know where to go. All of these places are within walking distance of campus, and you don’t have to cross busy Mission Street to get there.

like garbage bags, batteries or pencils, there are several places right on campus you can go. Residential stores stock a lot of supplies. There’s the Market in East Campus, the P.O.D. Market in the Towers and the North Market in North Campus. You can also try CVS, which is a two-minute walk from the Health Professions building on Preston Street. The Central Michigan University Bookstore in Bovee University Center has school supplies like paper, index cards, and even art supplies.

food in the dining halls and need to get some groceries? Residential markets have basic groceries stocked. If you’re in a pinch, you can usually find what you need. One downside: everything in the residential markets is marked up in price, so it is not the cheapest option, but when you need something, does the price really matter? Amazon Prime Pantry delivers almost everything, usually in bulk quantities. You can get non-perishable food items like granola bars and cans of soup, as well as household products like dish soap and makeup wipes. The dining halls close at 8 p.m. on weeknights, but luckily, there are a number of great places to get food at night within walking distance of campus. Buffalo Wild Wings, McDonald’s and Burger King on Mission Street are a short

PROGRAM BOARD AIMS TO ‘HYPE’ STUDENTS WITH FALL CONCERT Program Board announced Quinn XCII as the fall concert artist on its social media platforms on Aug. 25. Program Board Concert Director Ashley Falls said the spring concerts have been geared toward majority-female audiences for a couple years and wanted to take the rest of the student population into consideration. “We did a few polls to see what people were interested in,” Falls said. “Everything seemed to point to Quinn (XCII).” The Detroit-born EDM artist will perform at 8 p.m., Oct. 26 in McGuirk Arena. Tickets go on sale at 8 p.m., Sept. 5 on Ticket

Central. Information on pricing is currently unavailable. Falls also mentioned she hopes a fall concert will add some excitement for students returning to CMU after summer break. “It raises the hype for students coming back to campus,” she said.

Chelsea Grobelny | Photo Editor An empty sidewalk on Main Street during Welcome Weekend on Aug. 25, 2018.

WHERE'S THE PARTY?

Weather, law enforcement stifle Welcome Weekend activity

o those who remember how wild Welcome Weekend used to be, the past two years have been just about unrecognizable. Taking place Aug. 24-25, Welcome Weekend bridges the gap between the summer and the fall. It’s two nights of camaraderie that happens to spill onto the sidewalks of Main Street and the blocks surrounding it. Just about every recent Central Michigan University graduate has a wild story to share about Welcome Weekend. However, the last two years have been different. For many would-be party-goers who may remember how things used to be, like Macomb County senior Catie McIntosh, it’s obvious who the culprit is for the gradual downturn in Welcome Weekend festivities: “The cops.” “It’s been fun, but there have been a lot of police around,” McIntosh said. In previous years, the walkways on both sides of Main Street would be filled with so many people, the crowd looked more like a concert than the scattered batch of parties it was. This year, the streets were often barren, with the occasional squad of no more than a dozen people, which was always matched in size by a team of patrolling officers nearby. House parties didn’t fare much better, as police were quick to break up any group of people showing the slightest sign of

By Mitchell Kukulka Investigative Editor growing too big or too loud. While she sympathizes with the police department’s need to maintain order and ensure safety, McIntosh said she feels the police could do a better job of picking their battles and not hassle students who aren’t causing problems. Trying to keep students and the residents of the surrounding community safe is the primary goal of the stricter law enforcement effort, said David VanDyke, public information officer for the Mount Pleasant Police Department. As directed by City Manager Nancy Ridley, the city police are coming down harder on the culture of the 1980s-style wild parties that CMU was once infamous for. Before the police had a chance to crack down on errant parties Friday, Mother Nature did. A heavy rainstorm stifled most of the party-going mood on Friday, forcing the few gatherings that happened at all to stay holed-up indoors and off of the streets. Saturday night showed signs of doing proud the Welcome Weekends of old. Shortly after 8 p.m., front porches were crowded with revelers. Fraternity members could be spot-

ted on the sidewalks passing footballs and playing cornhole. Some people even set up wading pools and slip-and-slides. When night fell the signature red-blue flash of police lights illuminated the streets. After 9 p.m., Welcome Weekend became less of the year’s largest block party and more of a never-ending game of cat-and-mouse between groups of party-goers and groups of patrolling officers. The Saturday of Welcome Weekend is a mandatory workday for Mount Pleasant police, VanDyke said, meaning every officer is working in some capacity. The MPPD had almost two-dozen officers patrolling the streets this weekend, not counting additional officers provided by Michigan State Police, Isabella County Sheriff’s Department and CMU Police Department. “The enforcement action that we’ve been taking over the last couple of years has been a little more intense,” VanDyke said. “Parties have shown signs of it not being quite as chaotic.”

THE DOWNTOWN DIFFERENCE Looking up and down the streets that once saw the wildest parties on Welcome Weekend — like Main Street and University Avenue — it would be easy to get the impression that there were more police officers walking the streets than students. While those searching for parties near campus on Saturday might have been disappointed, things picked up the further one traveled north

@CMLIFE ON TWITTER POLL: How do you feel the police presence was during Welcome Weekend? More than last year About the same Less than last year toward downtown Mount Pleasant. As the night went on, lines that in previous years would have been found stretching onto the sidewalk in front of house parties instead formed outside the front door of establishments like The Bird Bar & Grill or around food vendors such as Twin Turbo BBQ. Many students would find it impossible to venture far downtown without noticing Kalan Hubbard. The 24 year old caught many wandering eyes with his juggling act, which he performed to a mixtape of “electro swing” music. “(Juggling) is something that’s hit-or-miss sometimes, especially with the bar crowd. But I’ve not had a single bad reaction tonight,” Hubbard said. Originally from Las Cruces, New Mexico, Hubbard lived in Mount Pleasant for five years after his family moved to the area in 2009. Hubbard left Mount Pleasant in 2014, though he moved back about a week ago. It’s a temporary stop on a nationwide tour for his juggling act, which will next visit Florida. “I’ve been to Welcome Weekends previously, but I think the food trucks and all of the vendors definitely brought a lot to (the event) this year,” Hubbard said. “Everybody is having a

great time.” Though downtown offered the 21-and-older crowd a respite from police supervision, it wasn’t enough to salvage a night that had once promised a back-to-school party like no other. “Welcome Weekend is fun, but only if you’re at the bars,” McIntosh said. “If you’re not 21, that’s not fun. My sister’s a freshman. She’s not going to be walking around with an open fifth — let her have fun too.” VanDyke anticipates the strict law enforcement will continue in the future, as the city stands in opposition to the once-raucous party culture. The results speak for themselves: 2017 saw the

number of arrests and citations for crimes like disorderly conduct, open intoxicants and minor in possession fall by at least 50 percent compared to previous year. There were a total of 441 calls for service to the MPPD during Welcome Weekend last year, down from 653 in 2016. “(Students) don’t look at the big picture of things, like (families) that have small kids or people who have to get up for work in the morning,” VanDyke said. “It’s really disruptive for those people. I think students have a hard time realizing how much (partying) impacts those outside areas and the people that aren’t CMU students, or aren’t in that ‘party mood.’”

IN THE NFL

Former players work to make the 53-man roster By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Rookies around the National Football League are welcomed in many different ways. Former Central Michigan wide receiver Mark Chapman was given a hideous haircut by the Denver Broncos veterans in his training camp. It’s a Denver tradition that dates back to Tim Tebow’s first season in the NFL. Chapman’s new style features a baled top with a ring of hair around his head, like a halo. Chapman is one of many NFL rookies hailing from CMU. Senior tight-end Tyler Conklin poses for a portrait on Mar. 16 in the Indoor Athletic Center. Allissa Rusco | Staff Photographer

He was selected No. 1 in the Canadian Football League 2018 Draft, but signed with Denver on July 26. Tight end Tyler Conklin (Minnesota Vikings), defensive end Joe Ostman (Philadelphia Eagles), Mark Chapman, Corey Willis (Arizona Cardinals), Amari Coleman and JP Quinn remain in the mix to make an NFL active roster, but the journey will not be effortless as training camp has officially concluded and the preseason is underway. Each NFL team is authorized 53 players on its active roster, plus a five-person practice squad. The 90-man training camp roster for the Vikings included six tight ends — Blake Bell, Kyle Rudolph, Tyler Hoppes, David Morgan, Josiah Price and Conklin. Three players will likely come from the tight end position. Bell, Hoppes and Price should get cut, meaning Rudolph,

Morgan and Conklin would make the roster. In 28 games in three seasons for CMU, the 6-foot-4, 240-pound tight end Conklin caught 83 passes for 1,159 yards and 11 touchdowns. “They are a perfect fit for me by the fact that they are a Super Bowl contender, they signed Kurt Cousins, who likes his tight ends, and they have a vision for me,” Conklin told Central Michigan Life. The interior offensive lineman options include Tom Compton, Cornelius Edison, Pat Elflein, Danny Isidora, Josh Andrews, Colby Gossett, Chris Gonzalez and Quinn. Despite Quinn’s cultivation on the field at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, he will probably be one of those four players cut. Just as the Colts dropped him, so will the Vikings. The Eagles featured 88 players in training camp, signifying 35 need to be cut. Philadelphia has its defensive end position players basically set in stone with Brandon Graham, Derek Barnett, Michael Bennett, Chris Long and Josh Sweat. This means Ostman will not be found on the reigning NFL champions’ 53-man roster once the NFL regular season opens. However, after recording 63 tackles, 13 sacks, 19.5 tackles for a loss and three forced fumbles in his senior season for the Chippewas, Philadelphia should keep Ostman on the five-man practice squad. “The Eagles reached out first, and they were anxious to get me out there,” Ostman told CM Life after signing with the Eagles. In Chapman’s ballgame, he is one of 12 receivers on the Broncos preseason roster. The others encompass Bryce

Bobo, River Cracraft, John Diarse, DaeSean Hamilton, Jordan Leslie, Isaiah McKenzie, Tim Patrick, Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton, Demaryius Thomas and DeAndre White. Being the No. 1 overall CFL pick, expect to be shocked if Denver did not add Chapman to the 53-man roster. In Chapman’s first preseason game for the Broncos, he caught two passes for 16 yards. In three full seasons with the Chippewas, the 6-foot, 180 pounder caught 146 passes for 2,031 yards and 10 touchdowns. Expect the Broncos to take six wide receivers, of which one being Chapman. Willis is another CMU wide receiver fighting for one of six projected spots on the Cardinals 53-man roster. In Arizona’s 24-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, Willis was not targeted. Forecast Larry Fitzgerald,

Brice Butler, Chad Williams, Christian Kirk and Trent Sherfield to make the NFL roster, while Willis would be an exceptional candidate for the practice team. “(My agents) researched and looked at the guys who they had on the team and the receivers on the roster,” Willis told CMLife after being signed. “After that, they figured it was the best chance for me to make an NFL team. Arizona was a team I wanted to play for since the start, so it was an exciting time.” Willis made 161 receptions for 2,384 yards and 23 touchdowns for the Chippewas. If the Cardinals decide to cut him from the roster, another team will doubtlessly sweep in and pick him up. Along with Quinn, Coleman is one former Chippewa who is likely to be cut from his NFL team’s roster without a practice squad opportunity.

Field hockey earns first win since 2016 with new coach UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT

By Dylan Goetz Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

New field hockey head coach Catherine Ostoich has led her team to victory for the first time this season in a 1-0 win against Saint Louis. “The best part about it is when you look in to (the players) eyes and they are like, ‘Okay, we’ve got one win. But, we aren’t done,’” Ostoich said. The win in New York marks field hockey’s first win since Sept. 3, 2016 against Quinnipiac. Last season, the Chippewas did not record a win under former head coach Molly Pelowski. Now, the Chippewas hold a 1-1 record after losing the season opener to Colgate, 1-0. After a slow start, Ostoich said she called a timeout 10 minutes into the first period to sort out some things with her team. Later in the first period, the Chippewas scored their first goal of the season off of a corner. Senior midfielder Leah Umberger finished a chance from the corner taken by sophomore midfielder Cara Satre. The first half goal proved to be the

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

‘I’M DOING IT FOR MYSELF’: CASSIE BREEN SIGNS TO PLAY BASKETBALL PROFESSIONALLY Dreams keep coming true for former Central Michigan women’s basketball guard Cassie Breen. In her senior season with CMU women’s basketball, the team made a historic run to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. Now, she will continue playing basketball professionally for the SPAR Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands of Spain. The team is a part of the Club de Baloncesto Islas Canarias league, which has hosted women’s basketball since 1983. “I’m doing this for myself, it’s my own dream,” Breen said. “I’ve had this dream since I was a little girl of playing professionally. I’ve got to play Division I college and now I have this chance.

It’s kind of like a vacation while playing basketball.” After the NCAA Tournament, head coach Sue Guevara helped Breen find team’s that would be a good fit for her. She feels like this was her best opportunity, she said. Breen didn’t sign a contract to play until December. She can either stick with SPAR Gran Canaria until the end of the contract and possibly renew it, or play with another team over that time. She did not specify what the contract is worth. “It’s worth more than I make now,” she said. “For me it’s not about the money, it’s about playing basketball and playing at the highest level. I’m excited to see the world and have

fun while doing it.” Breen said there isn’t a specific time for her leaving date but it will be within a few weeks. In the CB Islas league, teams are only allowed two foreign players. Breen was the first foreign player to be signed by SPAR Gran Canaria. “I’m looking to get more creative with my drives and be better defensively,” Breen said. Last season for the Chippewas, Breen started all 35 games and averaged 33.2 minutes per outing. She scored 12.1 points per game while adding 2.7 rebounds and totaling 34 assists. -Dylan Goetz, Sports Editor

Ostoich said. “This senior class has wanted this type of culture for a while. I think that they all came out on fire today.” Ostoich said the reaction from the

team’s upperclassmen was very emotional, but they are determined to keep a winning culture and keep this up. The Chippewas play two games from Sept. 2-3 in Philadelphia, then return to Mount Pleasant at 3 p.m. Sept. 6 for the first home game of the year against Pacific. “The girls stepped up and decided that we weren’t walking off the field without a W today,” Ostoich said. “I’m proud and very happy for them.”

Finding the perfect apartment in Mt. Pleasant has never been easier.
