Alcohol citations spike 54% since 2008 rivalry weekend Police presence dubbed effective deterrent

By Ryan Czachorski Senior Reporter

Alcohol violations increased 54 percent from the previous CMU-hosted Western Weekend in 2008.

Area police agencies wrote 105 alcohol-related citations this weekend, compared to

68 such citations in 2008. The Mount Pleasant Police Department wrote the bulk of the tickets — 77 for minors-in-possession and open intoxicants.

CMU Police handed out four MIPs at Friday’s tailgate and parties following the game. Sgt. David Coffman said it was just another football weekend for his department.

“There were enough police in the area to deal with the influx of football attendees,” he said.

The Isabella County Sheriff’s Department wrote 19 MIP ci-

tations and three open intoxicants and broke up 16 parties.

Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said the weekend went well and agreed with Coffman about police having a grasp on the situation.

“The extra police officers were more of a deterrent,” Mioduszewski said. “They were highly visible.”

Mioduszewski said the sheriff’s department did not take a different approach than the MPPD, but student-heavy areas like Main Street fall into the

city’s jurisdiction.

The MPPD pledged a heavy police presence following the Halloween weekend, said Public Information Officer Jeff Browne.

“The Mount Pleasant Police Department considers the Central Michigan University versus Western Michigan University weekend a success,” Browne said in a press release.

Agencies also wrote nine tickets for operating while intoxicated and 18 tickets for disorderly conduct.

Attempted robbery An unknown suspect attempted to rob two victims at knifepoint 7:30 p.m. Friday outside Campbell Hall.

The suspect allegedly demanded the victim’s wallets and threatened them with a six-inch long knife, according to a CMU Police crime alert.

The Central Alert System sent out notifications at about 8:15.

The suspect was not successful and neither victim was injured. CMU Police have yet to identify a suspect or any per-

sons of interest.

“The detective’s got it and he’s looking into it,” Coffman said.

The robbery attempt took place between Campbell Hall and lot 39, near the sand volleyball courts.

The suspect has been described as being about 6 feet tall and weighing between 200 and 220 pounds. He was dressed in all black, including a black, hooded sweatshirt and was wearing a “full

About 2,300 students drop courses this fall Not unusual, registrar says

By Kurt Nagl Staff Reporter

About 2,300 students have withdrawn from courses so far this semester.

Registrar Karen Hutslar said the figure is nothing new for CMU. “We usually have between two and three thousand course withdrawals by the end of the semester,” Hutslar said.

She said the university will not know the exact figures for class withdrawals until the end of the term. She did not know which class standing has the highest rate of class withdrawal, but said seniors likely do because they are closer to graduation.

Health issues and falling behind on coursework are the main reasons students decide to drop classes, Hutslar said.

“Some students take on too big of a schedule and fall behind,” she said. “Withdrawing from classes gives them more time to devote to other classes.”

A student must have their professor sign a course withdrawal slip and submit it to the registrar’s office to drop a class.

A withdrawal on course grades indicates a student did not complete a given class, but also did not fail. Students who withdraw from a class midway through the semester do not receive a refund.

U.S. Supreme Court debates violent video game content Oral arguments presented Tuesday

By Ryan Taljonick Senior Reporter

An ongoing case before the U.S. Supreme Court could change the way violent video games are bought or rented.

The court heard oral arguments Tuesday regarding a California law seeking to prohibit the sale or rental of such games to minors.

California Deputy Attorney General Zackery Morazzini asked the court to adopt a law permitting states to restrict minors’ ability to purchase “deviant,” violent video games.

However, several justices questioned the valid-

ity of such a law during the Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association oral hearing .

“What’s a deviant violent video game?” Justice Antonin Scalia asked. “As opposed to what? A normal violent video game? Some of the Grimm’s fairy tales are quite grim, to tell you the truth.”

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg questioned whether the considerations can be limited to video games without including other media.

Morazzini said California lawmakers were provided with substantial evidence that video games in which minors play the role of an aggressor are harmful to the development of those

Powderpuff benefits breast cancer research

By Heather Hillman Senior Reporter

The players on the field of Kelly/Shorts Stadium Sunday night may have been dressed in pink, but the quality of football remained the same ­— rough.

About 80 women from Saxe/Herrig/Celani and Fabiano/Emmons/Woldt residence halls hit the field for the third annual Central/ Western Weekend Challenge for Breast Cancer Awareness.

The two-hand touch game of powderpuff football was full of big hits, tough calls and tons of competitive energy from each team.

“It’s become a tradition and something the girls really enjoy doing,” said Ben Witt, head coach for SHC team and Saxe Residence Hall director. “The only thing we’re trying to beat tonight is cancer. The girls go out and have a good time and it gives them a chance to play at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, which most students never get the chance to do.”

After a long struggle, the 2008 and 2009 winner SHC continued their winning streak by defeating FEW 6-0 after Kelly Cartner caught the winning touchdown in triple over-time. The Oxford freshman, who played wide receiver for FEW and was

cm-life.com Watch footage from the fundraising game also named game MVP, said catching that pass was the best feeling in the world.

“We did awesome; offense scores points but defense wins games,” Cartner said. “I think this event is the greatest thing in the world.”

All proceeds from the event go to the Kelly Cares Foundation which supports breast cancer research, treatment and education.

It was founded by former CMU Football head coach Brian Kelly.

Witt said it is one of the

most popular fundraisers for breast cancer hosted by the residence halls and the number of interested participants has doubled each year since its start in 2008.

Illinois sophomore Tricia Henry, who played linebacker for FEW, said while they were hoping for the win, it’s really all about the cause.

“I played powderpuff football in high school and it was a lot more tackling and fighting, but everyone out there is just having fun and being competitive at the same time,” Henry said. “I love tonight’s cause.” studentlife@cm-life.com

men, said Livonia freshman Ryan Gabrish. The larger student body inhibits CMU from assisting students at a more personal level, like in high school, he said.

“Students show dissatisfaction of courses due to the fact that they haven’t been properly educated on how to select them,” Gabrish said. “Many pick schedules according to free time, not because they actually need the class.”

Dropping a course midway through a semester usually means a student has an unsatisfactory grade, said Dean of Students Bruce Roscoe. But the decision to withdraw does not always mean a student is lazy or irresponsible.

“It isn’t an easily-made decision. They think it through,” Roscoe said. “If a student feels it is in their best interest to withdraw, then they should withdraw.”

Grand Haven freshman Nick Dewitt said he withdrew from a physical science class not because he was failing, but because he did not feel the course was being taught well.

individuals.

Additionally, he said, video games can be deemed “deviant” by implementing the Miller standard, a test to determines when explicit material is obscene and unprotected by the First Amendment.

Scalia said he is concerned the California law infringes on First Amendment rights.

“You are asking us to create a whole new prohibition which the American people never ratified when they ratified the First Amendment,” he said. “What’s next after violence?”

In the wrong?

Justice Stephen Breyer asked why it would be wrong for a state to institute a law requiring parents to purchase games with violent content for their children.

Paul Smith, a lawyer representing the video game industry, said the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the nonprofit that rates the maturity of video games, is enough to alert parents about a game’s content.

“We do have a new medium here,” Smith said, “but we have a history in this country of new mediums coming along and people vastly overreacting to them, thinking the sky is falling, our children are all going to be turned into criminals.”

Jennifer Mercurio, vice president and general counsel of the nonprofit Entertainment Consumers Association, said this is a huge case for the gaming industry.

“There are a number of arguments premised upon each other for this case,” she said in an e-mailed response, “but the underlying main question that answers most of them is whether or not video games are protected speech in the same way that other entertainment media are.”

cides video games are not protected speech, she said, “a chilling wind will blow through the industry and the development of groundbreaking video games could be curtailed.”

Grosse Pointe Farms graduate student Alex Grabski said video games are a form of artistic expression and violent content is often appropriate to a game’s narrative.

“Ultimately, it comes down to a parent’s decision, if they think their kid is mature enough to handle what’s in a game,” he said. “Violence can be done well in games and can be done appropriately.”

Grabski said he’s nervous about the idea of the government deciding what games are too violent for minors.

“It puts the decision as to what should be censored and what should not be censored into someone else’s hands, it becomes much more subjective than objective in terms of rating,” he said. “Who’s to say they’re the best judge, particularly if it’s some kind of parent’s council or something.” metro@cm-life.com

a bird’s eye view

Photos by Central Michigan Life Photo Staff When college students look at Mount Pleasant, they see a busy Mission Street packed with cars, familiar restaurants and the same apartment complexes from day to day.

The Central Michigan Life photo staff wants to broaden that view with this series of photographs. Seven photographers took part in an aerial photography workshop

Sunday under the direction of Kent Miller, assistant professor of photojournalism and new media, and pilot Craig Beines of Saginaw. Eleven students flew total.

The students boarded the airplane at the Mount Pleasant Municipal Airport, 5453 E. Airport Road.

Photographers chose which direction to fly and guided the pilot on altitude and wing position for the best possible angle for each photo, Miller said.

Each student flew for about 30 minutes.

Miller said students need the experience of shooting aerials before it becomes a job necessity.

He said aside from preparation for jobs in the field, it is just a fun and interesting way to shoot.

“It’s pretty amazing because you can see for miles,” he said. “You can see all of campus at once, you know? You can see farm after farm after farm. I never realized how many farms there were outside of Mount Pleasant.”

EDITORIAL | Bill that would protect minors from MIPs in medical emergencies should be approved

Minor importance

T

he Michigan medical amnesty bill has been sitting dormant in the Michigan Senate since 2009 and it is high time for it to be adopted into law.

The bill was approved by the House of Representatives in 2009 and would protect underage drinkers from being ticketed for Minor in Possession while seeking medical attention for drinking-related health emergencies.

Although the Mount Pleasant Police Department has claimed to only ticket minors in the

hospital in extreme situations, the risk of receiving an MIP still deters minors from going to the hospital, or the friends of those in need of aid from calling for medical assistance.

This law would send the message that the wellbeing of Michigan citizens is the highest priority for the government, rather

than taking every opportunity to make ticket revenue.

The argument could be made this would be permitting or legitimizing underage drinking.

However, it is more trying to minimize the medical repercussions in an emergency situation.

Yes, these minors are breaking the law and should not be drinking in the first place. The time to punish them, though, is not when the decision of whether or not to get medical attention could reach repercussions of lifeor-death proportions.

After sitting on the bill for so long, now is the time for the Senate to act. They reconvene this week and approving this should be a priority before the newly-

elected senators are sworn in next term.

In times of emergency, no citizen of this state should be refused, declined or discouraged from getting medical attention.

Often governments end up resembling Sisyphus trying to push his rock uphill ad infinitum in the fight against underage drinking.

While the fight against it should be continued, and methods of deterring, discouraging and punishing it should be continued to be explored and discussed, this is a matter of keeping kids alive.

This is not a concession in the fight against underaged drinking; this is an imperative.

Thiago Fernandes Columnist

Performance, not grades I used to be a student who would not settle for less than an A. Perfect grades were my only goal.

Nowadays that kind of student is my biggest pet peeve.

Getting excellent grades was not satisfying at all. In fact, I was more upset about the grades that fell below my expectations than I was happy about those that surpassed it. I wondered if it was worth all the trouble.

You have to ask questions in order to challenge assumptions and the main question is, what is the point of grades?

Teachers will say that grades are meant to gauge learning.

Employers will say they measure work ethic. Parents might say that they make sure students are not slacking.

Some people believe grades are a perennial sorting device that tells the smart and dedicated from those who are less so.

Either way, it does not feel like grades are doing a good job in any category.

If it is possible for a student to put in half the work of another student in a class and achieve the same grade, something is amiss.

This happens more often than people realize.

Most students have gone through their entire educational experience procrastinating on work and simply avoiding truancy.

They know that is enough to pass a class and that is exactly the amount of work many of them put in.

So it doesn’t sound to me like grades are a good measure of “work ethic.”

Not only are grades being used as a ruler, they are employed as a method of coercion.

Grades are both the shiny carrot dangling in front of the good students and the whip cracking behind the bad ones.

Classes become about grades, not learning. In fact, genuine critical thinking might get in the way of following instructions in the grading rubric.

A student’s level of learning is also abstract and temporary. This makes grading an obtuse tool since a student might know 90 percent of the subject now and only remember a third of that information in six months.

By the time he or she has found use for the information learned in class, it may be completely forgotten.

Then there is the claim that grades are important because they report academic performance.

What is this “academic performance” we are so desperate to measure? School is not a sports competition and students are not tools to be organized by potential.

Every student has the same potential, just different interests, motivations and incentives. School should be helping each student achieve his or her potential, not categorizing them so they feel destined for success or failure.

It is this attitude of performance over experience, grades over learning that creates the stressed out students pulling their hairs over Bs and Cs.

Letter: University must also limit own paper use Editor’s note: To send a letter to the editor, e-mail voices@cm-life. com.

It has recently come to my attention that CMU is somewhat hypocritical about how “green” they really are going. For this school year, CMU has emphasized the importance of recycling by placing countless recycling receptacles all over campus, as well has giving students a limit to how much they can print and having water-conserving toilets in the bathrooms. But CMU’s recent decision to print thousands of copies of the student directory

concerns me.

Now perhaps I’m biased because, as a “deskie” in the Towers, I had to sort the mail the day the directories came, and placed one in each mailbox for every room (there are 582 rooms in the Towers). But I know I’m not alone when I say that printing these “creeper” books was a stupid decision. Why print hard copies of the student directory, and not more hard copies of the student bulletin instead?

I bet most students would agree that the bulletin is far more useful to have a hard copy of than a student directory. But

since both are available online, is printing either one really necessary? I have to ask where CMU priorities are when it comes to paper usage, especially when they find it vital to print a book that students usually toss anyway.

If there is a legitimate reason for printing all these books, please, let me know why.

If you’re going to limit how much paper students can use, should you consider giving a paper limit to yourself?

Jason Gillman Columnist

Capitalize on victory Editor’s note: This column originally published Friday on cm-life. com. For more post-election commentary, go to the Voice Box blog on cm-life.com Bloodbath — that’s probably the best way to describe what happened Tuesday to the Democrats.

Republicans received this nice little get-out-of-jail-free card as a result of the Obama administration and a Democratic congress butchering things over the past two years.

While time will determine if the elected Republicans will actually live up to at least restraining the size of government, I believe the primaries did a pretty decent job of filtering the wheat from the chaff. I would say this applies not only to the national or state races, but the local races as well.

Of course, I might be biased. My dad beat the incumbent Republican county commissioner in his district; going on to beat the Democrat candidate with almost a 2 to 1 vote ratio. But I digress.

As I mentioned in a previous column, Republican candidates should actually be, well, conservative, even if it means they lose in the general. This is crucial to not blowing what we won on Tuesday.

I’ll use Mike Castle as an example. While Castle may have been able to beat Chris Coons in the Delaware senate race, he would have been more of a liability than an asset. Government expansions through things such as the passage of the Troubled Asset Relief Program are exactly the reasons that lead to Republicans cleaning house. Yes, there are those such as John McCain who voted for TARP but still got elected. I think they realize the writing that is on the wall — they will have a second chance.

Assuming the Republicans are able to mitigate government expansion, I hope that the next step would be to actually reduce its size. I am not talking just a few tax cuts here and there or slight loosening of regulations. I’m talking about significant changes, such as entitlement program reduction or elimination.

It will be hard to show that programs such as social security need to be eliminated. With the showing on Tuesday, however, I think people may be more receptive to hearing the arguments.

After all, people got upset over the federal government jamming itself into health care — I can only imagine what they would think once they realize that their social security “contributions” lose value and that they have no option to opt out.

The Republicans have this one chance and hopefully they don’t blow it. Assuming they can do that, the next step is to reverse the ridiculous government expansion that has gone on over the course of both Democrat and Republican administrations for the last couple of decades.

Tailgate sees larger crowd Alumni: turnout ‘embarrassing’

By Josh Simmet Staff Reporter

Students, alumni and fans filled about half of the tailgate lot in Kelly/Shorts Stadium Friday for the Central/Western football game.

Clarkston senior Dave Barker said this was a poor turnout compared to previous years. “There are more Broncos than Chippewas here today,�

Barker said Friday. “It’s embarrassing.�

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said the turnout was larger than

Homecoming, but did not give a number estimate. “There were no major incidents, just a few minor injuries and one or two disorderly arrests,� Yeagley said. “I don’t know how many OWI’s or MIP’s have been issued yet either.�

Alumnus Josh Brogan said when he attended CMU, the lot was always packed full. “We used to fill up eight rows of cars; now we only fill two,� he said. “Tailgate sucks now. It used to be so much better.�

Alumnus Paul Wozniak said one of the reasons the team has had a difficult season could be related to the current tailgate. “No wonder the team is sucking this year,� he said, “there’s

no one in the parking lot supporting them.�

Brogan said because of the new tailgating rules, alumni are less inclined to attend.

Barker said the section of parking lot for away team fans was almost just as full as Lot 63.

Though nothing major happened for the CMU Police, Wozniak said the problem was the lack of CMU fans attending tailgate. “The real problem is that there are more cops and Broncos than there are Central fans,�

Big Brothers Big Sisters gets $3,000 Grant enables program for middle school aged girls

By Hailee Sattavale Staff Reporter

Big Brothers Big Sisters in the Heart of Michigan got a big boost for planned events to help out adolescent kids.

The group received a $3,000 grant to help it start a program for middle-school girls. The grant came from the Women’s Initiative, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting women of all ages. “We will help the girls work on their self-esteem and self-confidence, while focusing on developmental assets,� said program coordinator Krissy King.

The Mount Pleasant resident said there has been a similar program in place in Midland for two years. The Mount Pleasant program will take place at West Intermediate Middle School, 440 S. Bradley St. The program will also provide opportunities for CMU students looking to get involved in the community. “Every volunteer is a CMU student and we are always looking for more volunteers for other projects,� King said. “We are expecting about 15 girls to take part in this current program.�

Past Women’s Initiative donations have gone to the food pantry, women’s aid shelter and the health department, member Janelle Joslin said.

“We raise funds to support initiatives of women and young girls, mostly through grants,�

Joslin said. “When donations are made, they are not spent, but saved and the interest earned on the donations is what is given away in grants, so the pot only gets bigger.�

King is planning an etiquette luncheon as one of several events made possible by the

grant so the girls will have a good set of social skills when they’re older. “We are so grateful for this grant,� said Susan Putnam, executive director of BBBS in the Heart of Michigan. “We can now allow these girls to dream big and reach for the stars.� metro@cm-life.com

Bloomfield Hills senior wins new car at halftime Friday Touchdown Drive-A-Way contest attracts hundreds

Science festival attracts 1,000 ‘NOVA’ editor delivers keynote address

By Sherri Keaton Staff Reporter

Is it possible for chicken feathers to become the future of gasoline?

Or can a robot the size of dust cure blindness once inserted behind the eye?

With the power of science, it is all possible, said Evan Hadingham, senior science editor for PBS’s “NOVA.” Saturday afternoon, CMU’s SciFest 2010 showcased scientific materials for children and adults of all ages.

“This (show) is meant to engage the community with this kind of dialogue,” Hadingham said.

Hadingham was the keynote speaker during the second half of the day in the Education and Human Service Building’s French Auditorium. About 150 attendees

listened to Hadingham as he spoke about making science more relative to the audience.

He also showed several introductory clips about the new NOVA series “Making Stuff.”

During the first portion of the event, about 1,000 people attended the main science festival held in the Engineering and Technology Building.

Many children, like 8-yearold Midland resident Nadia Fisher, attended. At her favorite exhibit, Fisher eagerly squished globs of a chunky blue substance.

“You take this water and mix it with glue,” she said, “and then you put food coloring in it and you squish it all together until it becomes a solid.”

Nadia said people should be involved with science “because it is cool and sometimes unexpected things happen with it.”

Chemistry Professor Mary Tecklenburg, one of the

event’s organizers, said the combined science festival was for professional scientists, students and the general public. Hadingham’s message was built around that topic.

“He talked about bringing science to life through television,” Tecklenburg said.

“That was something that scientists are very interested in, but anybody is (also) interested in.”

Tecklenburg said there were numerous exhibits hosting CMU science students and others from Michigan universities who gave poster presentations.

Ten-year-old Midland resident Kevin Vang’s eyes lit up when he saw the tornado exhibit, which described how to tell what kind of tornado is approaching.

“I liked that I got to learn new things,” Kevin said.

“When you look at the clouds, you can tell what kind of tornado it is.” university@cm-life.com

It isn’t every day a fan attends a CMU football game and drives away with a new car.

This dream came true for Robert Diedrich, when the Bloomfield Hill senior won his new Chevrolet Cobalt at halftime during Friday night’s game against Western Michigan University.

The Village at Bluegrass, 95.3 CFX and the CMU Bookstore sponsored the Touchdown Drive-A-Way Contest.

“I didn’t think I had a chance,” Diedrich said.

“This is huge ... I am so grateful; this is so exciting.”

Each week, hundreds of contestants entered their name in one of the sponsored locations, said Mike Dabbs, director of marketing, promotions and community relations for athletics.

If CMU gained 50 yards or more on a touchdown play, the athletics department would pick one qualifier from each location to have a chance to win the car. Then based off a raffle, they chose a winner of the car.

There were 13 qualifiers on the field during the halftime show.

“I think it’s fantastic,” Dabbs said. “It’s a great way for a student to get a car.”

Diedrich, a soon-to-be student teacher, did not own a car and was looking for one in order to commute around Isabella County next year.

All the sponsors contributed to the purchase of the car.

Diedrich entered his name a month ago in the Village at Bluegrass leasing office and still can’t believe he won. He said it was one of the most exciting moments in his life.

“Thinking back I don’t even remember it,” Diedrich said. “I almost blacked out.”

This year was the first year of the promotion and Dabbs said it was successful.

“This is a very unique promotion,” Dabbs said. “We thank all of our sponsors.” university@cm-life.com

Student volunteers teach children nutrition Kids ages 8 to 12 receptive to health tips

By Annie Harrison Staff Reporter

Adrian Millstein wants children to make healthy choices about nutrition.

The Harper Woods junior and other volunteers from the Student Dietetics Association and Foodservice Administration helped prepare a nutritious lunch for children Saturday.

Twenty children, between ages 8 and 12, gathered in Wightman 110 to snack on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretzels, celery, carrots and grapes.

The volunteers shared facts about different health foods while the kids ate.

“They knew a lot more than I thought they would

have known,” Millstein said. “It’s good that they do know it’s healthy for them and why.”

Millstein told the children vitamin A in carrots is good for eyesight and calcium in milk makes bones strong.

Although some children said they did not like carrots or celery, they all agreed vegetables were part of a healthy diet.

The volunteers also demonstrated the effect of yeast in baking by having the children compare a ball of dough with a loaf of bread.

Danny Prestin said he wants to be a scientist when he grows up. The 10year-old Birch Run resident said the most interesting things he learned at the lunch were the nutrition facts about carrots.

“They’re good for your eyes, skin and growth,” he said.

Mount Pleasant resident Alison Roh, 10, said she enjoyed her lunch. She said it is important for children to learn about food and nutrition.

“What we’re eating is healthy,” she said.

“It’s also really good,” said Anastasia Lebeau, 11, a Mount Pleasant resident.

Sterling Heights junior Ashley Smagacz said people should learn about nutrition so they can live healthy lives. Teaching it to children at a young age can help to prevent diseases, she said.

Smagacz said the lunch was a rewarding experience for her personally.

“I like working with kids and helping people,” she said. “I like to give them information to help them make healthier choices.” university@cm-life.com

FOOTBALL

John Evans Senior Reporter

Win was much needed Players stepped up in rivalry game If only CMU could play against Western Michigan every week.

In a win that some would call more gratifying than any win during the past couple of years, the Chippewas found their identity once again in Friday’s 26-22 win at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium.

The news conference afterword was a joyous occasion as players and coaches had smiles on their faces.

In the almost five years I have been a student here at CMU, the Chippewas have not lost to the Broncos.

Five years in a row.

That is rare for any type of rivalry and now this senior class is 4-0 against the Broncos — certainly something to celebrate with the season turning out to be such a disappointment. This game gives the team something to hold on to, it gives them confidence going forward to finish the season and it lets the seniors go out the best way possible.

After being on the wrong end of so many close games, it seemed like the story was going to continue as the Broncos were looking to score from the 3-yard line with the clock ticking.

But it just was not meant to be for WMU, not this time, not on a Friday night in Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The defensive line pinched down, the linebackers made their reads and junior Armond Staten came through with a great tackle. Head on the ball, he wrapped up Broncos running back Brian Fields, forcing a fumble which sophomore Joe Kinville recovered to help seal the win.

CMU has been looking for a play like that all season and it finally came, and it could not have come at a better time.

Sophomore receiver Cody Wilson had a career day with 185 yards and a touchdown and sophomore quarterback Ryan Radcliff finished with 300 yards and two touchdowns. They were back on the same page hooking up for 12 completions.

During the team meeting the night before, the seniors said that the underclassmen pledged to do everything they could to get the seniors the win and they made plays all night.

But this was a game in which the seniors were honored before the game. The senior’s last chance to step onto the home turf. Their last game against rival Western Michigan ever.

From kickoff you could see the emotion and adrenaline running through the players. Seniors Nick Bellore, Matt Berning and Vince Agnew combined for 35 tackles and two forced fumbles.

Senior running back Carl Volny had 91 rushing yards and a touchdown and fellow senior receiver Kito Poblah caught the game winning touchdown.

So make no mistake, this was senior night.

It has been a dreadful season full of heartbreak and disappointment.

But when the Chippewas look and see those trophies, they will remember the battle they had with the Broncos and how they came out victorious.

As the snow fell and the band played, an unfamiliar feeling set in over the stadium. Snapping a six-game losing streak with a win against your arch rival will do that though.

As for the rest of the season, many would say it doesn’t really matter.

CMU is not going to make a bowl game and is out of contention for a MAC championship.

But knowing this team, and these seniors, they feel like they still have some unfinished business. sports@cm-life.com

CMU beats WMU to win MAC title

TOLEDO, Ohio — The CMU women’s soccer team stormed the field at Scott Park with a string of emotion as the final seconds ticked off the clock.

For the second consecutive year, CMU is headed to the NCAA Tournament.

The Chippewas defeated Western Michigan 3-1 Sunday, winning the Mid-American Conference tournament and clinching a berth in the tournament for the second time in school history.

CMU head coach Tom Anagnost, in his third year at the helm, has guided the team to its first two NCAA Tournament appearances in school history.

“It hasn’t really hit yet what’s happened,” Anagnost said. “I’m kind of still decompressing. I’m obviously really proud of the result, and how we preserved the win.”

CMU put the game out of reach in the 87th minute when sophomore midfielder Ashley Mejilla broke away from the defense at midfield and

The back-to-back Mid-American Conference champion Central Michigan women’s soccer team will find out its first round opponent in the NCAA Tournament at 4:30 p.m. today at O’Kelly’s Sports Bar and Grill.

It defeated in-state rival Western Michigan (10-7-5) 3-1 in Toledo, Ohio, Sunday at the Scott Park Soccer Complex to earn itself an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

It’s the second consecutive trip to the tournament for the CMU women’s soccer program. Last year, it defeated No. 24 Purdue 2-0 in South Bend, Ind. Then junior defender Liesel Toth scored on a penalty kick to put Purdue away and help the Chippewas earn their first NCAA Tournament victory. The season came to an end after it lost 6-1 to host No. 5 Notre Dame.

The experience of being to the national tournament before will be key to the 2010-2011 tournament run.

Defense leads way in win against Broncos Four players finish with 10+ tackles, Staten four forced fumbles

Senior defensive back Bobby Seay Jr. holds up the Cannon Trophy after CMU’s 26-22 win against WMU Friday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Seay recorded seven tackles in the game.

Sometimes change is needed.

After starting the season 2-7 and heading into its biggest game of the season against rival Western Michigan, the CMU football team installed a new 3-4 scheme defense that proved to work.

With less than three minutes to go and WMU driving for a potential gamewinning touchdown, giving Chippewas fans flashbacks to the Bowling Green from a week before, a unit that has been plagued with changes all season came up big.

Junior linebacker Armond Staten fought threw a block and tackled WMU running back Brian Fields, who fumbled the ball and allowed CMU to

hold on to a 26-22 win at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“Our defensive coaches thought playing a 3-4 defense would get our best players on the field,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “In offense, you try and get your best 11 players in personnel groupings. On defense, we tried to do the same thing.”

The new scheme gave the linebacker corp more versatility and opportunity to move, and it showed. Staten finished with 11 tackles and three forced fumbles, similar to numbers to his more experienced counterparts Nick Bellore and Matt Bering, who played in their last game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“It’s a great experience,” Staten said of playing with the two. “Ever since I stepped foot on this campus, they took me under their wing and showed me tricks and taught me the trade. To play with them and for them — to get this win — it means more to me and A defense | 2b

and a higher sense of urgency, tied for a team-high 12 tackles while Bellore fell just short with 11 tackles of his own.

After the game, Berning admitted the pressure was on.

“You feel like the weight comes off your shoulders because you’re with your back against the wall,” he said. “I told Nick this was probably one of the best nights of my life. It was cold, it snowed, (was) under the lights — it was some stuff out of a book.”

But those two weren’t the only ones who came to play.

Senior defensive back Vince Agnew also had 12 tackles, including a team-high nine solo tackles. Agnew added a forced

fumble and two break ups while helping limit quarterback Alex Carder to 272 passing yards between two receivers.

Wide receiver Matt Torres had the most productive game of his career, recording 57 yards on three catches.

His 22-yard reception during CMU’s second to last drive helped it score a touchdown that brought the team within a possession.

“What can you say about that guy,” Enos said. “That was a huge catch for us. I couldn’t be happier for him.”

Oct. 22.

Since Anagnost has taken over the program in 2008, the Chippewas have earned two regular season titles and as many conference tournament championships. Along with those accomplishments, he’s directed CMU’s soccer program into a MAC contender. The win Sunday proved just that. It now looks to continue its winning ways in the NCAA tournament.

“It’s one game and out,” Anagnost said. “We’ve been doing that for three games now and it’s a great accomplishment and hopefully we can continue.”

For the seniors, every game could be their last. Senior Shay Mannino believes the run can continue and is

honored to be back to the NCAA Tournament.

“I think we know how to prepare and it depends on who we play,” said Mannino. “Just being there is so exciting.”

Sophomore midfielder Ashley Mejilla also said the team can continue its winning ways and make a run in the tournament. Mejilla solidified the championship game against the Broncos with her breakaway goal during the 89th minute.

“I don’t think we can be any more confident than we are now,” Mejilla said.

Volleyball drops final home game CMU loses in 4 sets to Ball State after taking early lead

By Nick Conklin Staff Reporter

On a night honoring the careers of seniors Lauren Krupsky and Lisa Johnson, the Central Michigan volleyball team lost its last home game of the season Saturday against Ball State 3-1.

Despite jumping on visiting Ball State (22-4, 12-2 MidAmerican Conference) and winning the first set 25-18, the Chippewas would go on to lose three consecutive sets by scores of 26-24, 25-21 and 25-23.

The first set saw strong play from Krupsky and sophomore Lindsey Dulude, who notched four and three kills respectively. The pair would finish the night with nine kills each. Head coach Erik Olson was pleased by the fast start the Chippewas had in the first

set, but said they need to keep the pressure on during the remaining sets.

“We were definitely taking them out of system in games one and two,” he said, “but I think we let off the gas a little bit.”

Set two saw the offensive emergence of junior Kaitlyn Schultz, who paced CMU in the set with five kills. Shultz would go on to have a seasonhigh of 16 kills on the match.

Although, marking a personal best in the match Schultz said that her success has to be given back to the team that set her up for so many kills.

“I have to just put it all to the team for me doing good individually,” Schultz said. “You need passing, you need setting in order for me to do my job. It’s a big team thing, not really an individual thing,” Disappointment was again on Olson’s mind following the home loss on Saturday, with a lack of aggressive serving playing a major role in the third and fourth sets.

“I think our mistake was

coming out of the locker room after set three and not serving tough enough,” Olson said.

The third and fourth set saw CMU post six service errors on its to losing to close sets, 25-21 and 25-23. Sophomore Jocelyn VerVelde provided some spark in the last two sets, coming off the bench to finish with two kills and two blocks.

The competitive nature of this match was exemplified by a total of 31 ties and eight lead changes. The back-and-forth nature is something, Schultz said, needs to be managed if the team hopes to finish its schedule off strongly.

“What happens, it’s in the past now,” she said. “All we can do is learn from it and move on to next weekend.”

CMU will look to rebound next weekend when it finishes the regular season on the road. The Chippewas travel Kalamazoo at 6 p.m. Friday to play Western Michigan and DeKalb, Ill., at 8 p.m. Saturday against Northern Illinois. sports@cm-life.com

Field hockey finishes fourth in MAC

By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

CMU field hockey finished fourth in the Mid-American Conference Friday with a 6-14 record.

Hosting the MAC tournament last weekend, the Chippewas won the opening game 2-1 against Missouri State.

Sophomore Erin Dye opened the scoring in the 29th minute on a penalty corner shot, her team-leading seventh goal of the season.

Casey Bayliss tied the game up just before the half, but senior Pam Seufert took the lead back in the 55th minute, after receiving a pass from freshman Bailey McKeon.

“It’s important to at least get to the semis with such a young team,” said head coach Cristy Freese. “I felt good about some of the things we were able to do in the tournament.”

In the team’s second round matchup, Kent State knocked CMU out of the tournament with a 4-2 loss.

senior Pam Seufert each added a tally for CMU on the team’s only two shots of the game.

“Our defensive structure is something we’ve been trying to work on all year and I think today was a good example of that,” said Kent State Coach Kathleen (Schanne) Wiler.

Dye led the offense with 16 points this season, and freshmen Juliana Makrinos and McKeon each stepped up, adding a combined 13 points for the Chippewas.

CMU started the season lacking a starting goaltender, and junior Anastasia Netto jumped into that role, finishing 6-12 and recording a 2.68 goals against average. She made 115 saves in 19 appearances.

Seniors The program watched four seniors play in their last game Friday.

Senior captain Kim Sihota finished with three points this season and 13 over her four years with the team. She scored one of her five career goals this season in a 3-2 Senior Day loss against Miami Oct. 30.

“Kim gave her heart and soul to the program and the team and she had a real strong effort,” Freese said.

The team’s other captain, senior Amanda von Leer, was sidelined on and off in her career due to injury. She played in all 20 games this season, starting in 18 games, contributing a goal and two assists.

Seufert was the leading scorer for CMU during the MAC tournament, scoring twice and adding an assist in 73 minutes. In her career, Pam scored 11 goals and added eight assists in 76 games played.

“She has a torn meniscus and she decided that this is her senior year and she’s going to play for it, and she came through this weekend with some goals,” Freese said.”

The crowd cheered on senior Amy Binder in the closing minutes as the field hockey season came to an end. Binder appeared in 30 games at CMU, including 12 in 2010, and she recorded an assist on Sept. 12 against New Hampshire.

Sacred Heart Academy rolls past Beal City Irish rout Aggies 37-0 in district title game at K/S

By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Sacred Heart Academy head coach Richard Roberts told his players before Saturday’s game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium not to get wrapped up in redemption and play a full 48 minutes.

It appeared to work, as Sacred Heart scored early and often, beating defending Division 8 state champion Beal City 37-0 in Mount Pleasant.

SHA scored on passes from sophomore quarterback Mitch Myler to his older brother, senior running back Bennett Myler. The Irish would miss a pointafter attempt and have the other one blocked, leaving the score 12-0 after the first quarter.

“Playing Beal City is always tough,” Mitch Myler said. “They beat us in the first game of the year but we knew we would win. We were that confident and we went out and did it.”

Mitch had one of his best games of the season, completing 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 236 yards and three touchdowns, while his brother Bennett caught four passes 72 yards and two touchdowns. Senior wide

receiver Matthew Mills also caught five passes for 64 yards and one touchdown as sophomore running back Nicholas Hire carried the ball 14 times for 107 yards and the final touchdown.

Beal City (8-3) fumbled away a few chances to even up the score, losing the ball on the Irish 47- and 28-yard line. The Irish would make them pay after the second fumble, taking the ball down the field and adding a third touchdown pass, a 9-yarder to Mills, for Myler. A fake kick converting into a two-point conversion put the score at 20-0. The Irish would add a 34 yard field goal by Junior Kicker Kyle Dougherty added a field goal before the half to extend SHA’s lead to 23-0.

“We didn’t come and play our game,” said Beal City head coach Lou Rau. “They wanted it more.”

The second half played out just like the first as Beal City turned the ball over on downs early in the third quarter, allowing Sacred Heart to take the ball right down the field and score on a four-yard run by Bennett Myler.

“I have to give credit to the win to the hard work they put on the field,” Roberts said. “What we did in practice is what they did on the field.”

The Irish defense continued to hold on strong, not allowing the Aggies to get anything done on offense. As a result, Beal City was forced to go to the pass, something

they are not accustomed to all season.

Senior defensive end Ryan Grinzinger led the SHA defense with 14 tackles and a fumble recovery. while junior linebacker Ryan Szymanski had 12 tackles, while senior linebacker Eric Fox added 10 tackles and a fumble recovery.

“Both sides of the ball — offense and defense — and special teams, we dominated the game.”

Roberts said.

Beal City struggled to get anything going offensively, tallying up only 193 yards of total offense with two fumbles lost three failed fourth down conversions.

The win marked SHA’s first district title since 2006 and the first time the Aggies have not won the district since 2006. It is also the first time Beal City has been shutout since 2007.

“Sometimes Murphy’s (Law) comes up and bites you, you know,” Rau said.

“That’s what happened tonight — everything that could go wrong did.”

Sacred Heart (10-1) will play Mio AuSable (7-4) in the regional championship next weekend. sports@cm-life.com

and slipped a shot past WMU goalkeeper Julia Francy.

“I got a little touch by the defender and just had a break away,” Mejilla said. “I just set it up for myself.”

Anagnost said Mejilla, whose five goals this season puts her second on the team, played her best game of the season.

“She was unbelievable today,” he said. “She was the best player on the field.”

Mejilla’s late goal was the only offense for CMU in the second half. The Chippewas took a 2-0 lead into the last 45 minutes, but weren’t able to control the ball, leading to several WMU shots on CMU senior goalkeeper Shay Mannino.

The Broncos scored their first goal of the game in the 68th minute, slimming CMU’s lead to 2-1.

“They had a free kick and we headed it out, but not far enough,” Mannino said about WMU’s goal. “The girl got the rebound and put it away. It was a great finish.”

Anagnost said his team lost focus in the second half, especially after WMU scored its goal.

He said the Broncos gained a lot of momentum and became a more physical team, putting pressure on the Chippewas defense to maintain its lead.

“It was chaotic. It was mere chaos,” Anagnost said. “It was an extraordinarily physical game. (WMU) slipped one in and I think our kids lost their composure out there. I know

we can perform better.”

Although CMU struggled to posses the ball for most of the first 20 minutes, the Chippewas dominated the offense in the first half, netting two goals on 11 shots.

With just over 15 minutes remaining in the half, junior forward Chelsi Abbott dribbled around a Bronco defender and served the ball into the box while sophomore forward Laura Twidle leaped in the air and headed the ball past Francy for the game’s first goal.

Twidle’s goal was her eighth of the season, which leads the team, and is the most in MAC play.

Sophomore forward, Charlese McLemore added her third goal of the year with just a few minutes left in the first half, which proved to be the game winner.

The Chippewas will find out who they draw in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at 4:30 p.m. today during the tournament selection show. The team opens tournament play Friday.

All-MAC honors Sophomore forward Laura Twidle, senior midfielder Valerie Prause, junior defender Liesel Toth and sophomore defender Bailey Brandon were all named first team All-MAC honors before the tournament started on Friday.

In addition, freshmen Nicole Samuel, Kaely Schlosser and Estee Outcalt were named to the All-MAC third team. sports@cm-life.com
